Greetings, everyone. I work for a multinational company and travel quite a bit - I'm up to 76 at last count and have enjoyed everyone of them. Some have been for work and some I have been able to throw in some fun time - others have been for pleasure. It's all good. David

Not enough! Only 15 when I stop and count.
Canada (home - 9 Provinces and one Territory), US, Mexico, England, Wales, Scotland, France, Greece, Austria, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Australia.
I worked on a couple of TV travel series and arranged shoots in lots more countries (Africa, Maldives, Japan, etc), so I feel like I've travelled more than I actually have!

I usually ignore threads like these . . . but like everyone else, it got me making a list . . .

Canada (Home) All 10 provinces multiple times
US (Born) At least 38 states (most multiple times) & I lived in 2 as a kid
Mexico (x2 by car)
England (x2)
Scotland
Jamaica
Panama (x2)
Antigua
Cuba (x2 including our driving trip)
France (x6 or 7)
Spain (x2)
Italy (x2) I guess Sicily can’t be called a different country . . .
China
Hungary
Austria
Poland - our 'lunch in Warsaw' visit
Guyana

I will add to the list I am sure, but there are many countries that we don't want to go to - quite frankly - for numerous reasons but with safety & comfort being prime considerations. I don't need (or want) to see the whole world.

Since my last posting in June 08, I have added to my previous total of 111 these countries:
Mozambique, Lesotho, Mauritius, Reunion, Seychelles, Maldives, Nepal, Bhutan,Qatar and Bahrain. Unfortunately could not get into Sri Lanka or Tibet due to political problems and it is not likely I will return to either.
Total now is 121.
Future plans include New Caledonia, Vanuatu, New Zealand, Phillipines and Brunei (God willing)
