Thread: How many countries have you visited?

Wow! I'm impressed. So is 70 the highest so far?

about 25 for me.

Malaysia
Saudi Arabia
Germany
Austria
Italy
Spain
Belgium
France
Monaco
Greece
Macidonia
Slovinia
Croatia
Switzaland
Luxumberg
Czec Rep
England
Wales
Ireland
Northern Ireland
Scotland
Queensland

Australia
PNG
NZ
Indonesia
Singapore
Malaya
Thailand
Burma
Dubai
Oman
Ras al Kaimar

France
Germany
Denmark
Norway
Sweden
Luxemburg
USA
Canada
French Polynesia

Only 21 - may have missed one or two. Not all that many over about 45 years of international travel.

I never really kept track until someone asked me in a pub about a year ago, but last count was 72 or 73 countries, and I've lived and worked long term in 10. I'll make a list later when I sit down and think about it.

Not to rain on the achievement or anything, but that number has taken me the best part of 25 years, and his numbers of 1426 countries in 201 days - that's about 7 days per country. There's a lot more to visiting a country than just a stamp in the passport, IMHO. I'd be curious how many countries this guy can look back on in ten years time and honestly say he has visited. For me at least, that's not travelling - that's running from airport to airport, passport in hand, collecting stamps.

And on a Red Sea cruise out of Eilat Israel sat right on the ocean borders of Jorden, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
We were diverted on a flight to the U.K. during the Iran-Iraq war and flew over Saudi, lots of sand.
