Distances being shorter in Europe clearly helps a lot comparing to SA distances.

My list:
Argentina
Uruguay
Brazil
Paraguay
Bolivia

of course! There are worst starting places though: Australia comes to my mind, but the middle of China is not easy leave either.
Yes, it is me. No, I'm not back at racing (for now...)

Slovakia (ca. 15)
Austria (7)
Sweden (4)
Romania (3)
France (3)
Great Britain (England 2 + Scotland 1)
Greece (2)
Slovenia (2)
Germany (2)
Poland (2)
Denmark (2)
Croatia (1)

Transfers (road/railway/air) with no sightseeing are not included in the numbers. (They would add a lot especially to Austria, Germany & the Netherlands.) There's no country where I went ONLY due to a transfer.

Serbia
Macedonia
Bulgaria
Spain
Luxemburg

seemed pretty fake to me. Guns and tourist crap everywhere.

BonzaiJoe

Well, okay. But it's recognized as a sovereign state by all other countries. What were you doing there?

As I mentioned earlier, my journey to Portugal resulted in new West and South records.

West: Cabo Espichel, 38°24'50" N, 9°13'23" W
South: Faro, 37°00'55" N, 7°56'02" W

sightseeing and buying a knife :)
(I was only 15 but it seemed nobody goes there on a purpose. Whoever travels nearby pays a visit to put one more country on the list)

My new coordinates:


South: Punta Tombo, Argentina.
Latitud: 44.05S      Longitud: 65.1833 O


North and East: Paris, France.
48°52?0?N 2°19?59?E /

West: Bariloche, Argentina.
41°09?S 71°18?O

Something like this:

Next Thursday we're travelling to Harstad (68°48' N, 16°32' E) with my boss for a client presentation. So it seems that my North record will be broken.
