Interesting thread!!!

I'm from the US, but haven't seen much of my own country, sadly.

Been to Canada, Wales, Scotland, England, France, Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands. I feel so inadequate, reading how many places the rest of you have been to!

The Travelers' Century Club lists 317 "countries" in their count of separate entities that are separated geographically, politically, or ethnologically. In reviewing membership applications they accept brief "visits" including ports of call, and fuel stops. Based on these factors, my count of "countries" visited is 70 -- spread over a span of 60+ years, beginning with service in the navy during WW II -- which gave me several Pacific Islands. The bulk, however, have occurred since retirement about 12 years ago. What a great way to spend one's retirement years!

tcl--- my count is at 23 countries (many repeat visits to some of them), 42 USA states, have lived in 3 countries, speak 3 languages. Next summer 2005 will add some of Scandinavia; Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland. Can't wait!!

Let's see... from Canada

When I was about 5, if I remember correctly: USA, Mexico, Peru, Argentina, Brazil... and spots inbetween I'm sure.

Recently - USA, Britain, France, passed through Switzerland to Italy, The Vatican, flew through Schipol in the Netherlands, and just recently Australia and New Zealand.

So, not a lot. Oh, yeah, I've also been to Quebec. (Canada joke).

I've been searching for the website that inspired me to post this thread and I finally found it today:

http://www.world66.com/myworld66/login

I clicked on the links for "Visited Countried" and "Visited States" to find out what percentage of the world (or US) I've visited. Not surprisingly my percentages were low.

P.S. According to this website, many of the Caribbean islands didn't count as separate countries because they are under the control of another country.

17 so far, adding 3 more in May/June and another in Sept. So many countries, so little time! Sigh....

I think it's 23 not including islands that belong to other countries. I was fortunate to have studied in Europe so I got to travel around the continent a bit.
I intend to bring that number much higher of course. So many places I would like to see still. However, I am currently returning to several of my favorite countries to experience them in more depth.

Kiwi_acct

18 countries on four continents but I am still about 10 countries behind those visited by my wife.

I've only really started travelling in the past four years, so here we go:

Europe:

Scotland, Wales, Rep of Ireland, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Poland, Germany, The Netherlands, The Vatican City, Monaco, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Turkey, Greece (Total 22)

Asia:
