How many countries have you been to?

**Devonian** · 4th April 2021, 20:54

As someone that enjoys travelling a lot (well I did) I thought I’d been to a lot of countries so decided to add them up. Easier said than done though as when you google it there are apparently 193 or 197 countries in the world, or even up to 215, depending on whose compiling the list and whether disputed etc etc. I used this one in the end (doesn’t show Wales, Scotland, England or NI as individuals) though if you want to count from another list feel free

My granddad was at sea for 40 years as a Chief Engineer and had been to just about every country in the world that wasn’t land locked.

53 for me.

Curious as to if there’s members here over 100.

**RustyBin5** · 4th April 2021, 21:00

29 from that list.

**Justin Case** · 4th April 2021, 21:06

53 is good going I’d say.

Do cruise stops count?

**Dave O'Sullivan** · 4th April 2021, 21:07

Me? Depressingly few - maybe 7?
But a guy I deal with through work has about 8 to go for the full set. Although, the goal posts keep changing as new counties are formed!

**Chinnock** · 4th April 2021, 21:20

36 surprisingly.

**luckyal** · 4th April 2021, 21:27

42 for me. Feel like it's too low imho (50 years old)

**junglebert** · 4th April 2021, 21:30

59 for me from that list, which does seem to have a lot of places missing. I use an app called Been, on that my count is 80 odd.

**Marios** · 4th April 2021, 21:06

37 from that list

**Rocket Man** · 5th April 2021, 10:35

21 for me, all being 'proper' stays.

I'd like to add to the list. I haven't got out of London once for over a year!

**vulcangascompany** · 5th April 2021, 10:51

Only 23 for me, less than I thought. Although I have been to some countries many, many times. Need to spread my wings!

**brownip** · 5th April 2021, 11:24

25 for me, many countries in South America, the Antipodes and the Far East are all on the bucket list once free from the shackles of C19 and being a wage slave.

Cheers

Ian

**Kingstepper** · 4th April 2021, 21:14

11 For me. Happy to repeat visit countries I'm familiar with and only couple more I'd really like to see.

**pacifichrono** · 4th April 2021, 21:15

Nine. Correction: 11

**mjc1216** · 4th April 2021, 21:19

For me it's how many of those countries would you not want to go to...probably over half of them.

Very true. I can tick off 17 so far as visited and there’s probably only about the same again that I would actually like to visit.

**Chris_in_the_UK** · 4th April 2021, 21:18

45 for me.

Correction - 48.

**vertex** · 4th April 2021, 21:25

14 for me.
Got some travelling to do.

21 for me, surprised at that many tbh...

**Roberto** · 4th April 2021, 21:33

I'm at 50.

Desperately want to visit South America!

**EBB21** · 4th April 2021, 21:26

39 + Scotland, Wales

**Iain73** · 4th April 2021, 21:34

17 for me.

**ml.williams** · 4th April 2021, 21:45

36 for me, but there are only 5 more I’d like to visit.

**Pardalis** · 6th April 2021, 09:03

40!, not including UK

Do I win a prize for Kiribati and Tuvalu??

**wildheart** · 6th April 2021, 11:49

27 for me New Zealand the best with Canada a close second!

**tommyzzj** · 4th April 2021, 21:33

Only 22 from that list.. thought it'd be more!

**CatalystGuy** · 4th April 2021, 21:40

10 most several times.

**blackal** · 4th April 2021, 21:46

A disappointing 35 for me.

**Skier** · 4th April 2021, 22:08

71 from the list. Having had a lengthy military career certainly upped the count.

**Rob153** · 4th April 2021, 22:10

16 for me and loved visiting the majority of them.

**hilly10** · 4th April 2021, 22:13

44 for me with a lot more to come when this COVID is all over

**Shrek** · 4th April 2021, 22:19

35 for me

**Peck** · 4th April 2021, 22:22

63 for me. Some weird ones via work.

Enjoyed (almost) every one!

**Dave E** · 4th April 2021, 22:16

20 I think, I'm not counting a few that I only changed planes in (and didn't leave the airport), and I refuse to count Norway on the basis I was so young that I have no memory of going there at all!

**village** · 5th April 2021, 16:16

A round 30 for me....several multiple times.

**gerrudd** · 4th April 2021, 21:44

24 for me from this list. Turkey was just a connecting flight which is very disappointing as Istanbul is top of my list of places to visit.

**IAmATeaf** · 4th April 2021, 22:17

A lowly 12 for me, think I need to get out more

**xellos99** · 4th April 2021, 22:24

Wales and England hahaha.... Im no tourist or ex-pat

**Sinnlover** · 7th April 2021, 13:29

Not as many as I had thought!
I have counted 21 (might have missed some) but I been to several of the countries numerous times i.e. Ireland, Greece & France 20+ times. Croatia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Zambia 10+ times

Need to get out and about more when we are allowed to.

**CriticalMass** · 4th April 2021, 22:28

45....quite a lot before I was 10.

SydR · 4th April 2021, 22:42

39 from that list. Didn’t start travelling until relatively recently.

**Montello** · 4th April 2021, 22:50

43. Most notched up via work and a years backpacking. Plus many in Europe.

Out of all of them I really want to go back to Japan for an extended tour.

**monogroover** · 4th April 2021, 23:10

From the list, not counting the UK of course:

Antigua and Barbuda
Barbados
China
Croatia
Denmark
Finland
France
Germany
Greece
Grenada
Italy
Japan
Montenegro
Netherlands
Saint Kitts and Nevis
Saint Lucia
Spain
Switzerland
United States of America

I would always say that I went to Hong Kong rather than China, but since HK isn't listed I guess I've been to China twice for the purposes of this exercise. Also, I would have thought that Martinique counts as a country; since it isn't listed I guess that was another trip to France, officially.

**Stringer** · 4th April 2021, 23:06

48.

But 49 if you include the Vatican City (not in the OP list), and 50+ if counting ‘Home Nations’ separately.

All as an adult. Most of them visited multiple times each in Europe - following a football team helps, I guess.

Huge omissions/gaps in South America, the Far East & Africa that I really want to address, but a young family & Covid lockdowns restricts me nowadays.

I really miss getting happily lost in foreign cities, having new experiences, seeing incredible sights, trying strange food, chatting with locals and lazily sipping a cold beer in a square somewhere.

**Lampoc** · 4th April 2021, 23:15

31, many of them sh*tholes.

It is in the OP list, shown as Holy See.

**classics** · 5th April 2021, 00:57

12 plus Scotland & Wales.

**Alpha4** · 5th April 2021, 02:04

40 for me. And some of those many times. Glad I don't have to do that cr*p anymore.

**AndyMilts** · 4th April 2021, 22:57

I am 41, missed a few this year with no travel, hardly visited the Far East

I'm just into triple figures (I count UK as one and include Taiwan and Kosovo which are not on that list). It's a few more if I include Overseas Territories such as the Falkland Islands. Intentions to expand further have been thwarted over the past year and I'll probably slow down for a bit.

**Halitosis** · 5th April 2021, 08:13

45, though mostly single days which is hardly a claim to have seen a country (sometimes barely more than a bit of lunch!)
