As we are in holiday season just how many countries have you all been to?

I bet some have been to loads!

I have only been to 13. I imagine mine are in the low numbers...

I was going to say 10 but looking at lists on here reminded me to add Netherlands and Portugal so 12.

Deadringer · 20/06/2026 15:47

About 20, mostly in Europe. Hope to add a few more over the next couple of years

21 if the Isle of Man is a separate country.

If it does then that takes mine to a grand total of five!
Add in Jersey and Guernsey so actually seven.

labradormam · 20/06/2026 15:52

21 I think, but that includes eng, Scotland, wales, Northern Ireland.

Ive never been to Australia or the far east and think I probably never will.

should have done it before I had kids

ToadRage · 20/06/2026 15:55

Not as many as I would like. I have done France several times, Italy, USA, Denmark (although I have no memory of it, i was 2) with my parent's, Germany with school, Spain, the Canary Islands, Portugal and Scotland with my husband. Lived in Wales briefly. Doing Belgium and the Netherlands next year. I would love to travel more and further, but it's hard finding affordable and accessible holidays as my mobility is reducing rapidly.

I hit 100 last month and by the end of 2006 will be at 105!

PenelopeJoanSterling · 20/06/2026 15:57

hands up anyone with the intelligence services

yeeeehoooo · 20/06/2026 15:59

Just counted 28 (20 in Europe and 8 for rest of the world) quite satisfying to add them all up as don’t travel much at all now we have kids

Justploddingonandon · 20/06/2026 16:05

11 or 12, depending on if Northern Cyprus is counted separately.
Also assuming passing through to change planes doesn’t count, otherwise I can add 2 more.

BillStickersIsInnocent · 20/06/2026 16:07

Only 12. DH and I met whilst we were travelling so we’re keen to get out there again, but our children do not have itchy feet at all. When they’ve left home we will start up hopefully.

In the 70s. Should have seven more but booked trips were cancelled for various reasons and I haven't been able to rearrange.

Is there an agreement on what to count? In my view, transit in an airport definitely doesn't count if you remain airside. But what about say if you're on a cruise and visit somewhere for a few hours then return to the ship... does that count?

Yes that still counts to my mind.

20, but that is including Vatican City and San Marino!

Two2TooAlsoToToward · 20/06/2026 16:54

21

BillieWiper · 20/06/2026 16:55

Only about 10. Not including driving through or airport changes. I'd like to do more travel. But I feel like a barely even know the countries I've been to except a couple where I was there for months.

TheignT · 20/06/2026 16:58

Ten I think.

Actually I think it is twelve, just thought of two more.
