Originally, I was trying the new method of coubting countries and going for the Asia level, but after some confusion and realizing I wasn't actually planning on putting that much effort into this challenge, I decided to just head for a number goal instead. Right now, I've got 12 out of 15, which is good for almost July.
I LOOOVEEE this idea! I'm in for a nice little holiday (6-10)!1) North America & UK level (read books set in US, Canada, Mexico, & UK)

Doesn't that sound like fun? I know that I am "in" for this new structure.
If you feel as if that won't be doing very many you are free to set it up the old way as well.
1-5 countries- a bit of a jaunt
6-10- countries- a nice little holiday
11-25- countries- an experienced traveler
26-49 countries- Passport is fully stamped
50+ countries- World traveler
If you are "in" for this one, just let us know and here is the link for the tracker- reminder the tracker will go live on January 1st.

Also if you'd like to keep track by map it's super easy- go here and then check mark the countries as you visit them and then copy and paste the html into your thread- really fun. Here's the link to the map site- https://douweosinga.com/projects/visi...
