The PolitiFact team pored over recently released schedules from Sen. Hillary Clinton's eight years as first lady to create an interactive map cataloging each of her foreign trips.
As first lady from 1993-2001, Clinton visited 82 countries. These include trips she made by herself and trips she made with President Clinton.
The data are based on official schedules and news reports. Some days may have been omitted due to lack of documentation, no significant events scheduled or other reasons.
