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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Not enough rust in that one! A little darker blue though. We got it on the Isle of Man where it had been owned by the same person since new. The years of exposure to salt air made everything rust if it wasn’t painted or plated and scratch-free. The backside of the dashboard was surprisingly (to me) rusty as I found once when I was troubleshooting some fault.
Only 3: Canada, Philippines, and Peru. Not counting some of the sovereign Native American nations I’ve driven through, since they are wholly enclosed within US borders.
