Use the website to optimize your exploring, and use the Visited App to track your progress. An app that provides you with data and statistics on your world exploration, allows you to compare yourself to fellow travellers around the world, and allows you to keep track of all the countries you have been and share it with friends!

III. Travel reward cards

Majority of travel point cards are free of charge such as Aeroplan and Airmiles, so go ahead and get them today. You can earn points everyday in your daily shopping such as groceries and gas, and use them towards booking flights free of charge once you reach a sufficient amount of points. A tip on using your points: Use them on flights in areas where taxes are lower so that your points work for you more. For example, Canadian flights are highly taxed so you are left paying over a hundred dollar for your flight even after using your miles, so you are better off using your points for flights in Asia where taxes are lower.

So sit back and enjoy your flight…
