Mosttraveledpeople.com

Veley operated a website, mosttraveledpeople.com,[2][3] which detailed his travels and invited people to register their own travel histories.[4] The site also allowed registered users to vote for addition or removal of items on the "Master List", a list of countries, territories, autonomous regions, enclaves, geographically separated island groups, and major states and provinces, said to make up the world. There were 949 items on the list at the time of the websites closure. No one has visited them all; Veley himself held first position.

Personal life

He lives in San Francisco, and is divorced with three children. He graduated from Harvard College with a degree in computer science.[5]
