How Well-Traveled Are You?
 
I have a long way to go. Sigh. How many countries have you visited? I thought this was a fun quiz.

I'll bite: 27. But most of those were relatively short trips, often on business, to one major city - not sure how much that counts for.

jelopez33 Feb 28th, 2015 07:43 AM

29..... We will travel in 2015, but will add zero to the count.

hetismij2 Feb 28th, 2015 07:46 AM

Not well travelled at all. I have been to just 12 countries on the list.
DH to 32!

Not likely to get to many more of them now either :(.

We consider ourselves to be VERY well-traveled even though we have only been in 50 different countries. I suppose we could talk the "quality vs. quantity" rhetoric but that accomplishes little.

outwest Feb 28th, 2015 07:51 AM

Not well travelled either. I only got 13. Oh, well...

jane1144 Feb 28th, 2015 07:55 AM

39, some several times, but not in depth in most

Luv2travel15 Feb 28th, 2015 08:15 AM

only 20 out of 199! LOL And I thought I had been places!

isabel Feb 28th, 2015 08:17 AM

I got 30 and will have 2 more after this summer. But I just keep going back to the same countries.

John Feb 28th, 2015 08:24 AM

29, some twice

cafegoddess Feb 28th, 2015 08:36 AM

I hear you Isabel, we can't stop going back to Italy and France.

thursdaysd Feb 28th, 2015 08:38 AM

70, at least one from every letter but O, Q, Y and Z. Mostly Europe and Asia. I expect to add four more this year, but last year was a "go back to" year.

Treesa Feb 28th, 2015 08:44 AM

I have 64. Pretty good, I guess.

iris1745 Feb 28th, 2015 09:04 AM

28, but some like Italy and France 8 times with France scheduled this year

nytraveler Feb 28th, 2015 09:09 AM

Well, I'm up to 30 based on the list but I don't think it's complete - didn't see Wales or Scotland - and it seems like others may be missing too.

MaineGG Feb 28th, 2015 09:27 AM

22 for me, all in North America and Europe except for Japan and New Zealand. We are also "repeaters" (mostly to France) and haven't added a new country since 2000.

Pegontheroad Feb 28th, 2015 09:38 AM

30 for me. I'll add 3 more this summer.

I thought I'd traveled a lot, but after seeing all those names, I guess not.

gertie3751 Feb 28th, 2015 09:52 AM

Hmmm. 83. Big trips in the 70s and again more recently, but there is so much still to see.

Answer to NYTraveler:
I've always gone by the TCC(Traveler's century Club) List. That's where you'll find Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, along with some wild "iffy" spots....just to name a few that were left off the OP's reference. (Alaska, for example, is considered a country by the TCC). Since my overseas traveling days are probably over, I've used the number 85 for places I have visited during the past 69 years. Only 74 were on the OP's referred list.

My first foreign country "visited" was Japan as a 17-year old Army enlistee...and I've been traveling far and wide ever since. Once bitten by the bug, there is no cure...so now I count on Fodor's for the vicarious kick! Thank you all, sincerely!

I got 37 and do a lot of repeat travel, especially to Italy and France.
