Yes, indeed, Wojciech Dabrowski is an admirable traveller of our times, one of the very best, la crème de la crème. In the future, historians will refer to him as one of the best travellers of the XX and XXI century.
For your guidance, according to his own records, he has not yet been in the following United Nations countries:
1 - Liberia
2 - Libya
3 - Sierra Leona
4 - DRC (ex Zaire)
And he also wants to visit the following territories to complete his list of travel plans:
1 - Chagos islands, or BIOT -British Indian Ocean Territory- including Diego Garcia (very hard to get there, only in a sailing boat from Sri Lanka).
2 - Saint Pierre et Miquelon (very easy, probably this summer Wojciech will travel there in a regular flight from Halifax).
3 - Midway (it is only open once every five years for veteran of WWII. The last time that it was open was last year, so until 2012 will not be open again for war veterans and some tourists).
4 - Wake (very hard to fly there, only once every ten years the US Army offers a charter plane for war veterans and a few of curious and capricious tourists).
So far Wojciech has visited 230 countries and territories out of 238, according to the ISO 3166-2 list (the term ISO means International Standard Organization, of Geneva).

and there I saw that he had not been in Libya, because that country is not marked with yellow ink. But now, I read in Globo that he was in Libya in the year 1979, according to the following picture:
So, he has only three United Countries left: Sierra Leone, Congo ex-Zaire and Liberia.
I hope that soon he will fulfil his dream to visit every corner of our maravilloso planeta Tierra!
