Travelers Century Club

Inside the Exclusive Club of Travelers Racing to Visit Every Country in the World

"The Travelers' Century Club (TCC), which started in 1954 as an organization for people who had visited 100 or more of the world's countries and territories, today has 327 countries and territories on its list, says TCC President JoAnn Schwartz. Most of the group’s nearly 1,500 members are “full” members, meaning they’ve visited between 100-149 countries. “For the most part, we operate on an honor system,” says Schwartz, noting that the group's range in travel interests and styles is huge. “However, every list submitted is reviewed, and sometimes we might ask a few questions,” she says."
