Do you start your day with Wordle and Connections, or maybe the New York Times crossword puzzle? Consider adding TRADLE from the OEC (Observatory of Economic Complexity) to your brain exercise regimen.
TRADLE is a quick and easy test of your knowledge of economies around the world — the size of their trade and their highest volume exports.
The subject of counting the countries that you’ve visited is guaranteed to prompt lively discussion among veteran travelers. Some look askance at country-counters — “the world isn’t a checklist.” Others see it as a badge of honor — “Hello, my name is George. I’ve visited 76 countries.” Probably as with many things in life, moderation should be the guiding principle. There can be pleasure and even utility in country-counting, as long as it doesn’t become your primary motivator for choosing destinations.
