Mapping Your Travels: Bigger Not Necessarily Better

A recent question in the forums has raised the hot topic of travel map size.

Not usually ones for a travel brag, we thought we would take a quick peek inside the collective Travel Stats of the twenty most travelled members (by distance) and came up with some interesting statistics. Here are the ones we thought you'd like:

  • The average number of trips taken was 125.3. That's a lot of airport check-ins!

  • Together they have mapped trips to 206 countries and states.
  • Our most travelled member by distance covered is ThoiryK with a whopping 3,504,676 km!! Phew!

  • The most popular countries were the United Kingdom and United States of America. Followed closely by China, France, Germany, and the Netherlands.
  • marcwiz is the only one to map trips to both Antarctica and Greenland.

The total distance travelled by all twenty members is roughly equivalent to 97.6 trips to the moon!

Why do you say that...?

Good point! While we didn't crunch the exact number of stops per trip, each trip had multiple stops and included air travel, so an average of 125 trips with even two stops each is a lot of time at airport counters.
