Do you keep having arguments with your pals about who is the best-travelled? Do you feel that you do not get the recognition you deserve for all the interesting places you have visited and all the exciting activities you have participated in while abroad? Do you want to prove to the world that you are more than just a package holidaymaker?

You have come to the right site. While you will find thousands of internet sites devoted to cheap flights, hotel reviews and travelogues, there is one thing you will not find:

A DEFINITIVE MEANS OF COMPARISON OF YOUR TRAVEL ACHIEVEMENTS WITH THOSE OF EVERYONE ELSE IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.

Our unique and easy to use travel points spreadsheet can be used to do just that. The criteria include which countries, colonies and dependencies you have visited, what Olympic cities you have been to and what famous sights you have seen.

Why not use the spreadsheet to calculate your own percentage rating! Do not be disappointed by your low score though, we would expect the UK average to be about 5% of the maximum possible points. Anyone accumulating more than 50% of the maximum points is a travel god, and we have yet to find anyone who gets anywhere near that figure.

So, what are you waiting for! Calculate your rating, then TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIONS about the website and get them to calculate their rating.

If you think the spreadsheet is really cool, then go on every travel forum you know and spread the gospel.

We would be most honoured if you sent us an e-mail with your percentage score. Who knows, you may even make our leaderboard which will appear on this website shortly. Just think of the international acclaim you could receive. On a cautionary note though, if you claim that your score is 99%, we may need to see all the stamps on your passport to believe you! Cheating is not in the spirit of this website!

If your score is more modest, then why not have a contest with your friends, or have a Champion of Travel League in the office. Why not send us your league table and we can publish it!

What do we know about travel anyway, I hear you say! In fact, two of the brains behind this website have a travel industry background while the rest are all active travellers with many years experience that definitely know their Equatorial Guinea from their Guinea Bissau.

Please click on the left to download the Champion of Travel spreadsheet and calculate your own rating. Full details and instructions are shown on the spreadsheet. Good luck!

We also invite you to read our blogs page which contains some very good travel stories from our members. We would also welcome your contributions, travel reports and anecdotes on your travel experiences for possible publication on the website.
