adnil1962....you just gave me 1 more country that I didn't think about.

I am 28 and have visited 20 countries since first traveling abroad at age 24. We will be adding one in October as well, as we are making our first trip to Japan.

I too feel extremely fortunate to have traveled as much as I have, especially at my age and at the age that I started traveling. There are still so many places that I want to see, although I try to tell myself that I still have a lifetime to see them!

Old enough that a couple of countries I've been to don't exist anymore (at least in the old name) and a few places that are now their own country, independent of the former rulers. How do you count those?

mowmow Jul 15th, 2007 09:08 PM

47 and 33

DAX Jul 15th, 2007 09:28 PM

40 something and 30 something

nanabee Jul 15th, 2007 09:35 PM

Wow! I am impressed with the number of countries so many posters have been to.
I've been to 12 or so, but I've been many times to the same places. I need to branch out.
I'm (ocugh, cough) years old.

yk2004 Jul 17th, 2007 03:03 AM

It's pretty sad that I haven't added any more new countries to my list for the last 3 years... though I've visited new cities.

I'm 33 and have been to 24 countries:
UK, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Russia, Spain, Portugal, Vatican, Italy, Norway, Austria, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland
China, Taiwan, Japan, Phillipines, Thailand, Korea
USA, Canada

Jane196 Jul 17th, 2007 05:40 AM

I am 59 and from the USA. I have been to Canada UK, France, Netherlands, and Belgium. Will be in Ireland in September and plan on seeing as much as I can until finances or age stops me.

vjpblovesitaly Jul 17th, 2007 06:03 AM

38
Spain, Italy, Mexico, Jamaica, Bahamas, Grand Cayman Islands, Gibraltar (this is a territory, not a country, right?)

Liam Jul 17th, 2007 11:47 AM

<<Do the USVI count as a "country"? One of the problem with questions re number of countries visited, is defining "countries". I've been, for example, to Hong Kong, Puerto Rico, Northern Ireland, Gibraltar -- do they count as "countries"?>>

I counted them as countries because that's the way they are tracked on my own "world66" map. True, they are politically part of other nations, but each is distinct from the larger governing nation.

Let's see. I'm almost 61 years old, so the memory is fading, but I'll do my best:

United States (49 out of 50, missing North Dakota)
Japan
Okinawa
Taiwan
Guam
Philippines
Thailand
India
Pakistan
Saudi Arabia
Libya
Malta
Italy
Switzerland
Germany
France
Belgium
Netherlands
England
Canada
Mexico
Austria
Scotland
U.S. Virgin Islands
Cayman Islands
Croatia
Greece (and Santorini)
Spain

Cruise in December 2007 will add Puerto Rico (right - not a country, but also not a state, like Guam, but certainly has its own history/culture), Tortola British Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic, and Haiti

May - June, 2008 - three weeks in France (one week each in Paris, Provence, and Cote d'Azur)

Sometime, 2009 - two weeks in Italy again (Cinque Terre and/or Tuscany and/or Le Marche)

By then I'll be 63 - you count the years. By then, maybe the money will have run out? Hope not!
