It would be great to visit all the countries in the world but I created this list, based on a few things i.e accessibility from one country to another like from Zambia to Zimbabwe they share a border I can be in two countries in one day. I hope to add more countries to the list and tick off this list in the near future.
What countries are on your list, would you like to go to every country in the world if it were possible.
