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...

Must be about 60, did a lot of travelling when young and some for work. Some were just a city for a couple of nights, others 2 or 3 weeks. I like travelling the, holidays and can afford it and prioritise it…
