One thing to note, is that I’m counting currently existing countries.
That means I’ve counted two for what was Chechoslovakia when I was there, but is now split, and I no longer count East Germany as separate.
Some counters, I think Guiness, use only countries as they existed at time of visit.
Um, eight or nine, depending on how you count.
US (home)
Israel (home away from home)
Mexico
Britain (England & Wales)
Ireland
France
Italy
the Vatican (that’s the maybe)
Egypt (just Sinai, though)
I’ve also been to the borders and seen three more countries: Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria.
Netherlands
Belgium
Germany
France
United Kingdom
Spain
Italy
Austria
Switzerland
Liechtenstein
Andorra
Monaco
Czech Republic
Greece
Turkey
Singapore
Malaysia
South Africa
That’s 18 in total. And next month, I’m going on holiday in a new country. It’s gonna be either Tanzania or Mexico.
Let’s see…
USA
Mexico
Japan
Korea
Hong Kong
Thailand
Singapore
Diego Garcia
The Philippines
The Bahamas
I think that’s all of 'em
Canada, The US, Mexico and France.
I forgot another maybe. I’ve been to the West Bank, which is not really a part of any country. It’s controlled by Israel, run by the Palestinian Authority, and its residents are Jordanian citizens.
US of A - Vote 'em out!
Germany, West - US Army, three fabulous years.
Germany, East - Changed my life.
Belgium - Made wrong turn and was through Customs before we knew it. “Wasn’t that customs? Hey, were in Belgium!”
Neatherlands - The most liberated city I’ve seen! Bravo!
England - Picadilly and the rest is blurry…
France <spit> Literally couldn’t get the time of day in Paris.
Austria - It was under construction at the time.
Switzerland - They wouldn’t sell me a knife!
Italy - Hated the food, and I’m Italian! They cheat, lie and yell a lot.
Vatican City - Hey it counts! Ex-catholic, not impressed.
Greece - Is all in ruins! Camped on the shore, roasted lamb.
Yugoslavia (When one piece)- Saw dancing bear and gypsies.
Mexico - So this is Spanish Fly?!
Saturn - Wasn’t planning on it, but this guy gave me a cup of koolaid, and…
Myself
I doubt anyone will read this, but I want to count up myself. Let’s see, besides the US, there was:
Mexico
Germany
Austria
Czechoslovakia (back when it existed)
Hungary
The Phillipines
Singapore
Malaysia
China
Hong Kong (I guess technically part of China)
That’s only 10. Huh. Thought I had more. Oh, well.
I dunno. Let’s count:
USA
Canada
Germany
Ireland
England
Morocco
Spain
France
Monaco
Italy
Holy See
Switzerland
Austria
Croatia
Turkey
Greece
Lebanon
Israel
Egypt
Kuwait
UAE
Bahrain
Saudi Arabia
Russia
Brazil
Then there’s minor places like:
Malta
Bermuda
St. Thomas
So I’d say 25, maybe 28
I’m waiting for ChiefScott to come in and pound everyone into the ground…
I did the “join the navy see the world thing” and never made it out of the East Coast…but I’ve been to every state except Alaska and Idaho.
I’ve only been to the ones in easy driving distance: USA, Canada, and Mexico. But I’ve got high hopes for after I go platinum! Maybe…
