The Goal: Visiting 100 Countries and regions of the World

  I read about the Century organization some year ago in the Herald Tribune and found the idea of a club for intensive travellers very interesting, especially since my travel-tree.com days.

With the addition of Bosnia & Herzegovina, Republika Sprska, Slovakia and Poland, I am now at 101 countries, so became a member of the Century Organization in 2006.

Here the link to the Century organizationīs Web site with a list of all 315 countries they list.

The countries and regions I have visited (marked with a * star):
