How many countries have you visited?

[Toinho 981]

Some of us have been fortunate to travel bits of the globe. This isn’t a poll to brag about or feel shite about how much travelling you’ve done. It’s from a pure interest perspective and I know a fair few of us have been many places. Perhaps this will serve as good motivation to book that trip you’re um-ing and ah-ing about. Our European members have the advantage here I’d say.

16 I think. I've been to about 3 or 4 US states but counted those as one. 

 

[...Dan 429]

Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Switzerland.

I only left the UK for the first time in 2012. Never been on a family holiday.

Considering states are not countries... then you did the right thing! I am not counting Macau and HK for mine. Think it’s 26 or 27. Would need to sit down and think.

[Stick With Azeem 1,009]

[MUFC 260]

Not many. Scotland, Holland, France, Pakistan, UAE, Spain and Liverpool.

I went on a 3 week group tour that saw 12 countries in Europe. It probably paints an inaccurate picture as I barely sampled those countries relative to what others would normally do..

[Mel81x 1,112]

i'd love to add more to the list of places I have been and thinking South America should start getting planned sometime next year when I decide to take some time off work to travel. 

[nudge 4,670]

Without counting, I'd say about 15. Which also includes a few countries visited only for a weekend or so, so the actual number of countries traveled is definitely much lower; maybe around 8-10.

[Smiley Culture 1,077]

England, Scotland, Wales, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain (Canary Islands). 

Going to mainland Spain twice this year and Slovenia. Will try and squeeze in another city break, if possible this year. 

[Tommy 3,106]

Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Greece, Morocco, Turkey, England, Wales, Malta, France, Spain, Bulgaria. 

 

So 16.

Why is Scotland/Wales being counted as a country ? Isn't it like a county of UK or what's its officially  called.

they are separate countries which formed the United Kingdom about 200+ years ago following some wars. (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland).

From what I've seen they cherry pick whether to be considered a single entity or seperare ones depending what suits their argument...

So does the border between England and Scotland qualify as an international border let alone an open one or not ?

Do i need a Scottish visa to visit Scotland or a UK one ?

Yep, international border. They're recognised as separate countries. 

Only a UK one and that enables you to travel freely between the 4 countries.

So UK is like a mini EU ?

Usually people fight wars to form separate countries of their own not to form a joint country with others

The Scottish love the English though, don’t you @Rafa Beneathus?

[nudge 4,670]

Finland (only a weekend trip to Tampere)
Estonia
Latvia
Lithuania
Poland
Belarus (only a weekend trip by car)
Russia (Moscow; St. Petersburg; Kaliningrad)
Germany
Netherlands
Belgium (only a weekend trip to Antwerp and Bruges) 
Austria
Czech Republic
Qatar (only a day in Doha due to transfer)
Thailand
Cambodia
Laos
Vietnam

So a bit more than I thought initially. 

[Inverted 1,110]

I've been on a cruise when I was younger that bumped up the total.

Denmark, Sweden, Spain, France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Ireland, Portugal, USA. 

So 12 I think. A few (France, Portugal, Turkey, Greece) were just one day stops on the cruise which I've never visited again.

Also one (Sweden) was a one day train trip. Ireland was also just an flight transfer in Dublin.

So if it's foreign countries I've slept overnight in, then it's 6.
