None. Only the one where I was born.

25 for me all on family vacations. Going to Greece in May so that’s another one to add to the count.

I have been to most countries in Europe, hitch-hiked there or by train, and only recently sporadically by air. Being aware of the Club of Rome Report since childhood, I never travelled by plane, but since no one else around me including my government seemed to care, so my example apparently was not effective, after I became 40 I started flying occasionally to Bristol, because I have friends in Cornwall.

I think I have an idea what is going on in the world but I myself have never been outside Europe. My 9-year old son however already has been to California and to Singapore with my wife :person_facepalming:

Around 24. I don’t remember exactly. My wife’s been to more than 70.

I was born in Texas, so that’s one, then I went to the United States, so that is two so far, then the ones in Europe, and Canada and Mexico of course.

Couple times to Canada, once passing thru to Alaska and another to BC and Alberta.
Twice to Mexico, only border towns in my youth.
A 2011 cruise to the ancient island sites in Greece started in Venice-Slovenia-Croatia-Greece-Turkey-Rome.
Planning Egypt this year.

Nine countries.
Though born and raised in Nl, the missus and I love France.
So basically the countries adjacent to France.

I think of the Netherlands as the centre of the world. Been there 14 times, caught the train from Beijing one time, another time I spent $16000 in 3 weeks. But if I was to move to another country it would be Suomi.

Just England and France. I spend all my money on my wife, kids, and flashlights :smiley: Not much left for travel.

64 if you count what was Yugoslavia before its breakup as the 7 countries they are today. I was in all those areas in the early 70’s before the breakup.

I count about 60.

I wonder how different some of the places I've been are today like Beirut,Corfu and Rhodes than in1962.

I was in Jerusalem when it was part of Jordan.

None. Won't leave my dogs, you pretty much have to be rich to travel, and with my laid back, sunny temperament (sarc) I'd promptly get arrested if TSA goons gave me a hard time. So no desire to travel-perfectly contented at home. My wife... not so much. She has her life and I have mine. I'm probably on some no-fly list somewhere anyway!

Zero for me as well.

My family won an all-expense-paid trip to the Bahamas, and we changed our free vacation to Hawaii.

I did enjoy our Hawaiian vacation immensely as it was the best vacation I ever went on.

I do not like to travel far via any method, and I will probably never leave the United States.

Working in european projects has some advantages concerning traveling.

I did most of my traveling before I was 30; 40+ years ago. I was asked by a friend if I wanted to go to Europe during the coming summer. I had a job that paid well enough but I wasn’t in love with so said, sure. 20 months later I was out of savings and went home. We wandered around in an old Bedford Dormobile.

Cambodia
Thailand
Vietnam
Hong Kong
Japan
Mexico

Loved the food in all of these countries.

Yes! Ours was a ’58, IIRC. Medium blue with a white accent side slash. It was cool. You could drive with the door slid open. Happy memories!
