Statistics

Are there any statistics about cachers most visited countries?

Go to This "Top Ten" page at the "It's Not About the Numbers" website and scroll down to the "Total Countries Cached In" list. You will see that the highest number of visited countries claimed is 37. Around 8,750 geocachers participate in this opt-in statistics site, so it's a pretty good sample.

I don't seem to be able to get to the ItsNotAboutTheNumbers website right now, but I think the Top 10 stats show only that, the top ten. There is no overall ranking that shows where you or someone else stands compared to all others. One can narrow their stats down to a particular country or state and see how you stand with other locals. I happen to be the top of the Oklahoma group for finds in other countries. My number is 13 at this time, but that's nowhere near enough to make the overall board.

I've cached in one country. Am I special?

 

I would think that European cachers would have an "advantage" in this since there are so many small countries packed together. Heck, I've only cached in 8 states and the distance traveled might be equal to that of quite a few countries if I was elsewhere.

 

I think it's great that folks travel and cache in various places. I hope to someday make it to other countries for caching. I think I'd like to start with Canada (since it's reasonably close) and I'd love to do a bit of caching in Ireland or Scotland. I guess, if I had the time and financial resources, I'd probably eventually cache in a number of other countries. One of the great things about this hobby is that it's world wide.

 

I do get to travel vicariously through travel bugs though. I have some that have been to pretty far away places and I love to get the logs and watch their travels.
