How many countries have you been to in Europe?

When I was a little girl, I never had a burning desire about my career, or relationships.

I just remember always having one strong goal, that I thought about a lot.

It was to see every country in Europe before I die. Its still something I think about, and I'm determined to get there one day.

I'm 40. And I've still only seen just over half of the countries in Europe. I think I've seen around 25. I'll have to add them up, but I know it's around that.

It seems to take so long to get to my goal, because I have so little annual leave, and I'm too tired at the weekend to do a weekend quick trip.

But one day I'll get there!

I just thought it might be an interesting thread.

How many countries have you seen in Europe?

20ish, depending on your definition of a “country” and “in Europe”! (Wales, Kosovo, Cyprus…)

Cyprus is in the EU and uses the Euro. That's pretty European! Kosovo is on the 'waiting list' for the EU and is definitely in Europe.

Not getting involved in a 'is Wales a country' debate!

I haven't been to the states much, purely because the flights are so much more expensive, than going round Europe.

I've been to four states so far.

22, and most people would say I'm quite well travelled (though I'm another Brit who has never been to the Republic of Ireland).

Yeah I'd say that is well travelled too.

What decade are you in? Eg. Twenties, thirties, forties

I'd like to attempt to travel to every US state.

Been to one so far.. New York. 🤣

My favourite country was Sweden, followed by Greece.
