1, that's right one. Do I win? Last year I applied for passports for my two teenage children, I got my first one this year. Getting the kids ready to head out has gotten me bitten by the bug. I will be in France for 2 weeks this summer with my daughter whi will done with her year as a Rotary Youth Exchange student. I love this site and have gotten a lot of advice. As a librarian I am doing extensive research, book, internet, people for this trip.

18 that I have really visited.
Using the test of driving through a country and stopping to touch ground (not airport tarmac)--which is the way my husband's family counts --I would be able to add several since I took an Europa bus trip from Athens to Salzburg in the 1970's.

Advice to rkkwan - don't call the Scottish Parliament a "council" in Scotland, it won't go down too well! Both Wales and Northern Ireland have their own Assemblies and devolution was voted in way back in 1997. London didn't decide - the people of the Home Nations did.

Wow--my number is low! If I can't count the two layover airports in Paris and Amsterdam, my total is 3...Budapest, Hungary; Novi Sad, Serbia; London, England. I think I should be able to count the US, even though I'm a native though. I've travelled and lived in several states in the US. That means 4 total if allowed to count the US too! 
I hope for more this summer though.

Hmm...Canada, Mexico, British Virgin Islands (do these count as a country?),Greece, Turkey, Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales (or should the last 3 only count as one?), France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Italy. So that's...let's see...14. Or maybe 11.
