I was born in the USA and hold American citizenship. I reside in Wales.

Debbie travels far more than I do. She routinely fills her passport pages. She has traveled to over 25 countries.

*The United Kingdom is a nation made up of four countries. They are England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. This video explains the arrangement —> https://youtu.be/rNu8XDBSn10

Quite a few countries in Europe. Other than this? In Oman. When Shabab Oman II visited Szczecin.

Do stopovers at airports count?

Do drive-throughs count?

What's the minimum length of stay?

I liked to travel a lot when I was younger but that was the time when flying was much more comfortable in terms of seat spacing, food quality as well as waiting and processing times at the airport. ;-)

Europe:

Andorra, Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, France, Germany (home country), Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Principality of Liechtenstein, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, UK

The World:

Bahamas, Canada (Québec), Cuba, Israel, Tunisia, Turkey, USA (Southeast & Northeast)

35 or so on my list (based on having actually spent time there, not just travelled through)

Of course it does, I can reference my old Texas school book maps where it clearly shows Texas, and….not Texas.

I guess if you pass immigration you are technically in the country but I don’t count stopovers myself.

If you passed immigration it does

Yes

No minimum

It’s funny to see the “only the US” answers. It’s a biiiiig country. I moved from FL to CA, a car ride of 2800 miles, and from CA to GA, 2500 miles.

Seems to total 21, I think I have not counted them before, hmm…

Wow. Many of you have traveled an incredible amount, but I’m shocked that nearly half of respondents so far have been to more than 10 countries. Most people on planet Earth will never even fly in an airplane, let alone visit another country, though I understand that doing so is far easier if the countries are small and you can go there by train (i.e. EU countries). That’s a bit more like traveling to other states here in the U.S., except that most of us can’t use trains. It’s effectively federal law that you own at least one car here :wink: .

We obviously live in a truly wealthy society when so many people can travel so many large distances, even if we’re only polling a very small group of humans from Developed nations. People in the U.S. tend to travel abroad less than those from many other nations, partly because we are expected to go from high school directly to college, then directly to a career; anything else is deemed lazy and unproductive. The main exception is military service, which is itself a job or career. However, in recent years we have many people traveling to Asia, though only because they work for international manufacturing companies.

I’m a U.S. American and I’ve never been outside this country and don’t expect that I ever will; not because I don’t want to, but because I’ll never be able to afford such a trip. As a child and teenager, I expected that I would travel the world, but back then I also thought that I would design, build, and fly my own rocket ships, too. Dreams don’t so much die as get mugged and beaten beyond recognition :wink: .

Remember that the U.S. has many millions (more than 18 million) of veterans and that much of the European and Asian travel by Americans was done at government expense.
I’ve been to Europe many times but never had a passport to stamp, it was on NATO orders.

Ironically enough, most of the European countries I’ve been to were outside of my government service (the mother of my kids is Swedish).

Does Canada count? That’s kinda like going from America to America Jr. :smiling_imp:

So it was only the ship or did you visit Oman?

The ship’s deck was a territory of Oman. So yes, I had visited the country Oman even though I’ve seen only 87 meters of it. :wink:

Great :smiley: . Maybe some day you will think of visiting Oman. :laughing:
