  I found this one amusing, but for different reasons. I've been fortunate enough to travel to over 12 countries too, we call it Europe. Stick your thumb out at the side of the road, you'll be there in no time. ;)

  12+ sounds much cooler (to the audience I assume) than 13. That's modern copywriting exploiting human nature.

  > just look in your passport or something. I've been to at least 9 countries without even taking my passport with me. This is how EU citizens do.

  My passport has only got stamps for America and Kenya. I’ve also been to Australia, Singapore, Thailand, Switzerland, Sweden, Belgium, and Germany when I was young enough to be travelling on my parents’ passports. Even as an adult, travel within the EU[1] doesn’t require me to get an entry stamp, and travel within the Schengen area[2] doesn’t even need me to be carrying my passport. I might have forgotten some of the nations I’ve visited. [1] adding Spain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Hungary, Austria, Italy, Poland, France, Finland, and Luxemburg to my list. [2] I cycled from Hoek van Holland to Baden (Switzerland), making at least five border crossings, two of which were only signposted, two of which were not even signposted, and the fifth was an unstaffed customs inspection post in Basel.
