    Yes. He is a Greek who lives in the Netherlands, and he set himself the challenge. Might have to do a trip to Scotland soon however..

    I won’t list everywhere I’ve been, but the ones no one else has claimed;
    -Barbados
    -St Lucia
    -St Vincent and and the Grenadines.
    -Haiti

    This was all part of a 3 week long Caribbean trip that also included:
    -Dominica
    -Grenada
    And the overseas French regions of Martinique and Guadeloupe.
    Seeing the sisserou, Saint Vincent amazon, purple and green throated caribs and Antillean crested hummingbirds were a real treat. Great people and great islands overall.
    Plans this year for me would’ve added Canada, Nigeria and Ghana (father’s country of origin). Unfortunately postponed obviously..

    Sorry yes I missed Venezuela.

    In the spirit of this thread I believe the Gabon-goer would need to announce it here. Also surprised none of us have added Jamaica yet!

    Right, here are the rankings (as of when people posted their lists of course):

    4th: @lintworm with 43 countries
    3rd: @devilfish with 45 countries
    2nd: @Tetzoo Quizzer with 55 countries
    1st: @Jobovc with an astounding 56 countries!

    That's our record so far. If anyone can top that....
