Just counted 37 (39 if you count Wales and Scotland).

Have probably forgotten some, given that I nearly forgot India!

But I dare say I'm quite a bit older than most on here, and some, e.g Liberia, were just 1-2 nights while I was working for an airline.
Lived in 3 of them.

In no particular order

Oman
Kenya
Liberia
The Gambia
Nigeria
Sierra Leone
Malaysia

India
Yugoslavia as was, now Croatia
Lebanon
Syria (long before it was so desperately troubled)

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 29/01/2019 10:48

Forgot Portugal! Disappointing experience aeons ago, though.

Okaythen2 · 29/01/2019 10:57

How do you all afford to travel so much? Also when people say they have lived in numerous countries, was it easy to keep setting up in another country? What kind of work did you do? I’m just intrigued really

elQuintoConyo · 29/01/2019 11:01

All UK & Repulblic of Ireland
France & Corsica
Germany
Italy & Sicily
Monaco
Andorra
Belgium
Spain (mainland, no islands yet)
Tunisia
Russia
USA (California & Oregon)

No plans to visit anywhere else. We're more likely to shuttle between Spain, where we live, and UK, where my family are, than go anywhere far flung.

There are many, many countries I have no interest in visiting. I would like to see more of Europe: Netherlands, Romania, Croatia... We'd more than likely plan a very long car trip with our tent and dog rather than fly out to Thailand or something.

As I get older I want less faff (jetlag, missing luggage, organising the dog with its associated guilt, ). And I am worried about my environmental impact - yes, I know I sound smug Blush

Shockers · 29/01/2019 11:02

17, if I haven’t forgotten any.

There are some: France, Italy, Spain, Portugal (and Madeira), Wales, Scotland, Eire- that we return to over and over though.
