How many countries have you visited?

Hi, my friend from school is very well travelled and is now a high end travel agent. She was saying recently that she has been to 47 countries.

Many of them are long haul types ie Australia, Japan, lots of Caribbean and Europe and some really exotic places such as Bora Bora.

I worked out I’ve been to 12 countries which I think is probably more than average. I have an auntie in her 60’s who has never left the country and know a few others who are the same.

It would be really interesting to hear about other people’s experiences. Included are England/Ireland/Scotland/Wales.

Whilst I was very impressed with my friend’s tally, she said one of her bosses has been to almost 70. I just couldn’t imagine even wanting to go to that many places!

Thanks for reading.

@kote
Yep that's the plan to get them all ticked off! I have Serbia, Macedonia, Andorra, Monaco, Andorra, Luxembourg and Lichtenstein remaining. I was counting Cyprus as Europe so actually still have 7 to go grin

What about San Marino? Grin

I have never been abroad as an adult though, only as a child.

  1. 19 if I add Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. I won’t include airport stopovers.

Nearly all are European countries, plus India, Bhutan, Morocco and Chile. I’m very lucky. Bhutan is fascinating and beautiful 🇧🇹 . Italy and Iceland are my other favourites, so far.

Cattenberg · 11/07/2020 12:06

That BT was just a Bhutanese flag emoji that popped up.
