Your Visited Countries

Are you well traveled? The subscriber who suggested this site thought she was, but this site "really made me wake up -- not only to the number of countries that I haven't been to, but also how many I hadn't heard of and probably couldn't locate on a map if my life depended on it!" Just check off the countries you've been to and it will generate a world map for you to illustrate where you've been -- and to see what you've missed (see mine below). I don't consider myself particularly well-traveled; I know I've missed large swaths of the world, and hope to get to several of them in the next few years. There are a lot of sights to see. Where will you go next to expand your world horizons?

In a Sunburned Country
by Bill Bryson
Amazon Price: $10.87
Customer Review: Bryson loves England - that is obvious in Notes from a Small Island. In Australia, however, he is an outsider on a visit (not a resident) and the difference is obvious in the style and character of this book.

Rick Steves' Rome 2010
by Rick Steves, Gene Openshaw
Amazon Price: $12.92
Customer Review: This is one of two travel guides I purchased for a visit to Rome. The other was the Eyewitness Travel Guide (2010 version) by Adele Evans. Between the two, I am well on the way to having the city memorized before we go. Great resource.
