How many countries have you visited?

A work colleague has just hit her 100th country. She goes on some bonkers trips (North Korea anyone!) and some are amazing- the 5 Stans looked fab.

I came to travel late as I had never been out of England until I was 19. However, for interest really, I started writing down all the countries I have been to and it totals 35.

DD is 22 and has been to 25 already!

Only 17, got some travelling to do! I'm going to revisit Italy, and then start looking at Scandanavia.

Kimchikeffir · 31/05/2023 17:04

16 if you count wales and Scotland

Yuja · 31/05/2023 17:08

18 if you include England.
So many more that I hope to go to at some point

  1. I'm old though, and counted Corsica in, which is technically France I think.
highlandspooce · 31/05/2023 17:10

Not many. Spain, France, Ireland. Also NI & England. That's it. I am not at all interested in travel though.

100 is amazing!

A lot of those are in Europe though. Countries are tiny there compared to the rest of the world so it's really not a big deal in terms of amount of the globe covered.

Was just talking about this with DH. I think I generally keep up with going to as many countries as my age. Some years I'm down one and some years I catch back up! It's a nice measure though. This summer we will get the kids to their 4th and 7th country before they turn 5 and 8 Grin as due to covid, they've been running behind for a few years!

SitByTheLake · 31/05/2023 17:23

Depends a bit by what your criteria for ‘visited’ or ‘been to’ is?
I used to work for an airline (crew), therefore have been to absolutely loads - if you mean walking on the tarmac of an airport.

If you mean actually staying for a trek or holiday, then obviously it’s a lot less.

Ruralrecluse · 31/05/2023 17:25

2 if you count Scotland and Wales.

whumpthereitis · 31/05/2023 17:25

68 including the UK as one, 71 if counting individual constituent countries. 72 if counting a breakaway state (transnistria).

mondaytosunday · 31/05/2023 17:35

Probably less than 20 but I've been to Spain about 30 times and the US about the same.

Georgyporky · 31/05/2023 18:04

46 at the mo

Vanillalime · 31/05/2023 18:09

31 - I keep returning to the same countries on holiday or it would be higher!
