How well travelled are you? (really)

Have you kept a private, conscious count of the number of countries you have been to? Perhaps it's time to tally up your list and start challenging your Facebook friends.

Have you kept a private, conscious count of the number of countries you have been to? Perhaps it’s time to tally up your list and start challenging your Facebook friends.

TourRadar has launched  ‘been2’, the perfect app for anyone wanting to keep track of the countries they’ve visited. After you’ve entered your information into the app, you’ll also be able to share your list with your friends. If you have a competitive streak, you list sharing could lead to a ‘travel-off’ challenge.

TourRadar who is behind the new app says it’s geared towards curious travellers who want to find out how many countries they have been to and want to brag about it to their Facebook friends.

Time to tally up your latest trips?

The app is easy to use. Simply scroll down the list of flags, tap once and the flag is immediately crossed off of your list. The app then keeps track of the countries you’ve visited and then assigns you a title such as Curious, Newbie, Expert, and World Explorer. Remember, layovers in airports do not count. You have to have exited the airport in order to cross the country off of your list!

Once you are assigned a title, you have the option to share your results on Facebook. This option posts the traveler’s status on their Facebook wall, informing friends how many countries they’ve travelled to and invites their friends to download the app.

 “We’ve seen airline staff, cruise-ship crew and tour guides lead the rankings to date, many of whom have visited over 100 countries.  The app wasn’t created to revolutionize travel… it’s just a fun way for friends and co-workers to compete around society’s number one leisure pastime – Travel.”

Travis Pittman, TourRadar’s CEO

Download the free app from the Google Play Store or  Apple’s App Store and start tally up your trips!
