I've been to about 30 countries but most are already listed.
You can add Namibia, Malawi and Ethiopia though...

I am really envious of many of you people. I don't know how people find the time (or funds) to do this but I want to learn how! I've been all over Canada and the States and a small part of Mexico. Off North America, I've been around the UK. Not much but within the next couple of months I'll be adding some Balkan countries to my list!

I've been to a lot, but the only one I can think of that's not already on the list is Saudi Arabia.

For Europe, buy a Eurail ticket and take night trains. You can either sleep in your seat or on the floor. This way it saves you money on hotels etc. You can also purchase a couchette (bunkbed) on the train for a reasonable price. My wife and I did this trip twice and I would highly recommend it to anybody. It's a heck of an experience.

Is it safe to say you drink 3 cups of coffee a week and go out to eat twice a week and order a pop? And to say that you spend about $12 in doing so?
Now if you cut back on that, you have $624 extra a year, which is enough to go to Cuba for a week (flights+hotel.+meal ... if you get the right deal) or in 2 years, go to Mexico (all inclusive as well).
Let's include alcohol... go to the bar once a week, fair? 2 drinks = $12. So $24 a week spent, and you have $1248. That's enough to go to Mexico for a week, Cuba twice, or afford tickets to Europe.
Personally, I never have pop when I go out, cut off on coffee this year (needed last year and 2 years ago), don't go to bars unless there's specials (so I don't spend much at bars), I don't have a cell phone, don't have cable TV... in fact, I haven't had a fully functional TV in 15 years.
So, the short answere is... you can always find ways to save money to travel, its just how you choose to spend your money.

Argentina
Antarctica (yes, I know it's not a country, but still)

Romania.
You could also add Yugoslavia to your list (spent a few summer holidays there), but it is technically already covered by Bosnia and Serbia...

Hmm, well I've already done that....  It's a nice place to visit.
The Vatican needs to be added to the master list too. It is the smallest independant nation in the world.

Well... I guess that the places I've been to has been added on there... so no need to mention mine.

I'm surprised Barbados hasn't made the list yet, but I can add it.
