What happened to the OP?

okaythen2 I backpacked loads in my late teens, 20's and in my early 30's sold everything and backpacked for almost 3 years. Dedication to the cause!

LOL at the Isle of Man being listed as a separate country!

It's not part of the UK, controls it's own immigration and isn't (unlike the UK - for now) part of the EU and is a self governing crown dependency. They have no MPs in the Houses of Parliament in London.

I've also been to a couple of the Canary Islands, but I'm not sure if they're classed as their own countries or come under Spain (doesn't take a lot to realise Geography was never my strong point BlushGrin).

Oh I've been to Greece too, don't know how I forgot that one as I spent 6 months there Grin

Twomonthstogo · 29/01/2019 20:36

I really don't think you can count Scotland, Wales and England as separate countries

elQuintoConyo · 29/01/2019 20:38

Canary islands and Balearic Islands are Spanish. It's like saying you've been to Scotland AND the Isle of Skye - same country!

MyOtherProfile · 29/01/2019 20:59

I really don't think you can count Scotland, Wales and England as separate countries
