Have you ever had to have extra pages stapled to your passport or a new one issued because yours was "just too damn full of stamps"?
  • Can you say "Cheers!" in more than four languages?
  • Do you know more about current foreign policies than what is going on in your own hometown?
  • Do the majority of the emails, voicemails, texts, and online messages you receive from family and close friends start with "So where are you now?" or "Are you back in [INSERT COUNTRY HERE] yet?"
  • Do you have more than ten travel-related apps on your smartphone? (Double points if you don't know the last time you powered on your cellphone)
  • When you finally visit home, do people constantly call you out for talking slowly and gesturing with your hands excessively?
  • Have foreign words for basic greetings and other simplicities made their way into your verbal vocabulary, even if no one around you knows 100% what you mean?
  • Do you believe any sort of 'light' beer has no right being called a beer?
  • Would you prefer drinking cow urine over Bud Light? (This question determines both who has visited India and who knows their beer)
  • Do the vast majority of your FourSquare points come from 'Distance Since Last Check-In: ???? Miles'?
  • Have you ever just spontaneously just walked into an airport / bus depot / train station, purchased a ticket for that day, and gotten the hell outta Dodge?
  • Do you feel more at home in a different bed every few nights than you do at your actual home?
  • Are you proud to say that you do not watch television because you are too busy living life?
  • Do you find sports / entertainment news fleeting & irrelevant, and instead find yourself interested in travel-related or historical/cultural news?
  • Can you describe the differences between McDonald's in different countries? (Then you also lose a point for eating too much McD's and not enough local food)
  • Can you name more than 50 countries in under one minute?
  • Can you name more than two dozen foreign capital cities in under two minutes? (Double points for three dozen in three mins)
  • Do you have any tattoos containing 'RTW' or any other travel-related words or symbols? One point each.
  • Have you ever corrected and/or argued with a friend over something he saw on the news because you had been there firsthand?
  • If you were to write down your grocery list right now, would it contain items people back home would never have heard of?
  • Does you mp3 player or music collection contain types of music from three or more different countries?
  • Have you ever been harassed by transportation authorities or customs agents for excessive travel?
  • Do you know what lambanog is?
  • Do you have any collections of items you have purchased that transcend more than a half-dozen countries? Not counting music, more like shot glasses or wood carvings or unopened bottles of wine, those kind of things.
  • Do you have to keep writing new bucket lists just because you keep doing everything on them? (Well then check out my new 2012 bucket list, the #TBBL -- good luck!)
  • When someone asks you what's new, do you start naming off countries and/or cities?
  • Do you have a membership with MostTraveledPeople.com?
  • Finally, two bonus questions. At the time of reading this: 1) Are you in a foreign country? & 2) Do you have your passport on your persona or within arms reach? Two points each.
  • Well, there you go, a grand total of 35 questions with a possibility of getting a top score of 40.
    I ended up with 22... Damn, apparently I'm not as addicted as I thought.

    How high did you score? Did I miss any questions?
