You might say that traveling is also a hobby, as I've visited many countries for a variety of purposes. Most are trips for teaching or conferences. Here is a pretty complete list of my visits to the following countries. Note: I've used the list of countries at Infoplease.com to determine which places are countries (e.g., Bahamas, Jamaica, Belize) and which are not (e.g., Guadalupe, Bermuda, St. Martin, Aruba). I do not count airport stopovers as visits. I must either hike, eat a meal, or go sightseeing with a camera. Categories capture the first visit to the country.
