    I thought of this question when I saw the thread about the most annoying tourist. I was wondering how much the BBS members have traveled. So the question is how many (and which) foreign countries have you visited?

    Rules: You must have stayed in the country for more than 8 hours and left the airport (so a transit does not count and traveling through the country also doesn ’t count).

    I have visited 19 countries. In November I’m going to visit my brother in Peru and travel around for 4 weeks, so than it will be 20 countries (looking forward to it)

    My countries are:
    Europe
    Belgium
    Luxembourg
    Germany
    France
    Switzerland
    Czech Republic
    Austria
    England
    Spain
    Andorra
    Croatia
    Turkey

    Asia
    Israel
    Jordan
    Kyrgyz republic
    Malaysia
    Thailand

    Africa
    Egypt
    South Africa

    Wow, I'm really jealous of you guys. I didn't start traveling internationally until 3 years ago. The only place I've been are to:

    England
    Wales (I know it doesn't REALLY count since it's part of the UK with England)
    Ireland


    Though next summer, I hope to change all of that by flying to Italy, then taking the train through the rest of Europe, back over to England, and then fly back to the US. So that'll add quite a few to my list. ;)

    Canada
    Mexico
    France
    England (but I was very young)
    Switzerland
    Germany
    Italy
    Spain (it was under 8 hours, but I drove over the border from France specifically to visit)

    All my travel is concentrated in Europe and I'd like to branch out some. With twins due in a couple months, I suppose that won't happen for several years.

    I thought I traveled a lot! Well, mainly all over in U.S. but that doesn't count.

    Two countries:

    Europe (Italy) and Mexico

    I'm gonna go on a cruise and it'll make stops in Cozumel, Jamaica and Cayman Islands. I guess it'll be 4 by Sept??

    I remembered 29, but a couple of the states carved out of the former Yugoslavia could have been added, and Hong Kong, which was a Crown Colony at the time, or China, whichever is currently PC. And I visted Jordan before the 1967 war, seeing a lot of what is now Israel, but that would be too picky, putting Israel in there... or the State of Palestine. Whatever. Probably 30, altogether.
