How Much of the World Have You Seen?

Sitting by the pool in Zambia today takes me into the 50s of countries visited, off to Botswana tomorrow

 

[Hotchilidog]

14 for me I think.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

I have visited over 75 countries. I did take a couple of years off work to go travelling. Best thing I ever did. Going back to work was a bit of a shock to the system though.

 

[DTES]

13:

UK
France
Spain
Germany
Italy
Belgium
Netherlands
Finland
Poland
Latvia
USA
Rwanda
Kenya

Now I'm sat at work, looking out the window at the sunny day, and really wishing I was on holiday...

 

[Shirty]

France
Belgium
Spain
Germany
Italy
Ireland
Cyprus (Turkish)
Malta
Czech Rep
USA
Dominican Rep

11 - but all holidays, no business trips.

 

[footychick]

Not many, but France a few times.
Holland, many times
USA, twice
Canada, once
Italy, once (when I was a baby)

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

There used to be a map where you clicked on all the countries you visited and there were more filled in than not..... last count more than 60 that Ive spent more than one day in. The funny thing is that the big empty space that I haven't been to is Africa (not including Maghreb).

Agree with hans though.... Ive seen nothing..... mostly work and mostly in cities.

Controversial - UK counts as 1 entity, so no individual scoring for England/Wales/Scotland/NI.

Also, I imagine there may be two or twenty people on this forum that will need reminding, Airport stops DO NOT COUNT.
I spent 6 hours in Bahrain airport but that doesn't mean I've seen any of the country.

Of course you didnt leave the airport , you were in the raf regiment , youd have got a nosebleed going outside the wire

There is a free app called 'been' you can do this, im on 19% of the world so far

Only 12 for me. I must admit, though, I do love exploring our own beautiful and endlessly fascinating country. Give me a map and I'll be walking off into the hills looking for a welcoming local hostelry. Still so much of the UK to discover that although I enjoy travelling I don't particularly feel I'm missing out not having been to Australia or wherever. Sometimes it seems like a lot of hassle! That said, a mate has just come back from Brazil having been there for seven weeks for the World Cup and has made me insanely jealous with tales of his adventures.

 

[Trufflehound]

Spent at least one night in about 70 countries, if you discount places like the Vatican, Andorra, Monaco and Liechtenstein, all of which I was in for less than a day.

Still a lot of places to see yet. Seventy is barely scratching the surface.

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Went to Kent once

 

[BlockDpete]

20+ plus for me, as a rough count.

I tend to look a continents too, so haven't made it to South America or Australisia yet

Thanks for the shout, I'll look into this.

I've currently spent time in 10 countries so far (11 if UK is counted).

Australia
France
Greece
New Zealand
Portugal
Spain
Thailand
Tunisia
USA
Vietnam

The above all for holiday etc.

There are a couple of others which I'd list but don't really count as having really seen. Unless you (I?) count copious amounts of sand combined with the stench of sewage.

 

[Cian]

Just the 18 at present, looking at next year does Antarctica count as a Country?

Go to the Pole and run around in a circle* and you'll get all the countries that have made claims there, if you're missing any (Aus/NZ/Norway/Chile/Argies/France as well as the UK I think)

*yes, I realise that's not particularly practical

 

[The_Viper]

Egypt
Spain
USA
England, of course.

I've spent a crap ton of time in the US though, spent significant time in pretty much every state east of Chicago, great country.

 

[Steve Foster]

16 in total. Like the latest take on the holiday thread destinations.

[garethjamesuk]

15 for me, all of these countries on own accord.
England, Wales, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Singapore, Usa, France, Belgium, Czech republic, Greece, Spain, Gibraltor, Hungary.

 

[surrey jim]

As a guess 11-15, would need to count them out to do properly.

Edit: Thinking logically I traveled arouind and visited 4 countries on one holiday once, (SE Asia) so will likley be in 20+
