As of June 2019 I have officially been to 100 countries, a milestone I never imagined achieving when I first started traveling back in 2014!
What started as a curiosity led to a passion and obsession, and now I can’t imagine my life without constant travels in it! I risked a lot, and gave up even more. Like any chance of a normal relationship or life.
I put all of my belongings in storage in 2015 for what was supposed to be a month of traveling in Southeast Asia, and ended up being fully nomadic for three years!
The constant travels and constant content creation is what led to my uprise and notoriety as a travel influencer and blogger, and is solely how I’ve been making a living for the last four years. Well, that and the viral article I wrote on HuffPost about the social stigmas I get as a solo female traveler, and how I really feel about them.
There’s been euphoric times, like stepping foot on Antarctica, my 7th continent, and tragic times, like when I flipped a car in Patagonia. But the one thing that stands out the most is how I’ve become this person who lives every day like it’s her last. Every day is an adventure for me, and I love every single day no matter what happens.
I can’t wait to keep exploring this amazing planet, and hope this list only continues to grow!
Note: This list is based off of the Century Club’s approved list of countries, however I did not count the territories it lists as counting as countries aside from a couple in place of countries I’ve been to for only one night. BUT I will list my additional 1-night countries at the end as well in case you think the ones I’ve listed don’t count! They also are not in order of favorites, just the order of the checklist and are per continent/region.
Also, I’m going to start hyperlinking my posts I’ve written in each place but it will take forever so if something isn’t linked, please use the search bar!
