If this thread already exists, please, just ignore. I've looked for one like this and didn't find. I've been to a little over 80 countries.
I find this hard to count. In some countries I have only been in one corner and other countries I mainly just drove through to other countries. I don't really care to keep track on how many countries I exactly visited because of that. But yeah, I'm from western Europe so when you go on a roadtrip over the border (especially south east) you automatically visit a lot of other countries I would say I have visited Istanbul, but not Turkey since I have not been anywhere else in Turkey.
Probably between 30 and 50. I lost count a long time ago. 80 is insane though, did you actually visit them or just passing through to get the stamp in your passport or as a stopover in a flight? A lot of the countries I been to I really been to, as in spending at least a month there.
I don't count the countries where I had only a stopover or drive through, unless that's all I'll ever wanna do in the country. For instance, if I go to Dubai, I won't wanna spend more than a day there, anyway. I do count countries where I've slept a few nights. But my vacations are short. So, in many, I've spent only one, or two weeks. I do go back, though. There are several of these countries I've visited more than once. Some of the places don't interest me per se, so I just go to have some contact with the people. I don't travel to count countries. I prefer to go again to a place I've enjoyed, than to go to a place only to add it to my list, of course.
12, and I have some other countries that I would love to visit one day too. But I also enjoy returning to places I love.
Probably between 50 or 60..I'll add Romania to my list in July this year...never been there.. but to the point..it's like *just a woman*says==we don't travel to add countries to our list... we travell..because we enjoy travelling..that's all
I've been to Canada quite a bit. My dad was born there and I still have some family up there as well. But that's it. Canada and the U.S. are the only countries I've been in. I want to go to other countries, and I probably could fairly easily, but I'm to busy to put my life on hold to go on a vacation. I've been to almost every state in the continental US, though.
Aruba, Jamaica, Bahamas, Italy, Spain, France, Ireland, Turkey, Monte Carlo, Portugal, Greece, Mexico, Germany. Nowhere good since I had a child...bummer
ha, cali and tx are their own countries ... i've been to 11, not counting the US. half of those were brief though, not really enough time there to really see them. oh, counting Wonderland... ok. 12 for me then. :2thumbsup:
Eastern, central, western Europe. UK. Most parts of Australia. Tokyo, Hokkaido, Hong Kong, and other asian countries.
Only one One of my goals in life is to get to at least one other country before I die, but really I'd love to go to all of them. If only travel didn't cost so much.
