Travel routes to 100 countries
Reaching 100 countries is rarely about single trips. It is about clusters — regions where borders sit close enough that one journey can add five, eight, even twelve countries at once. These 53 routes group 219 countries into exactly those clusters, so you can see at a glance which trip moves you furthest.
