aaand that’s it.
And I only include Mexico because on one family trip we drove over the southern border, turned around, and came back without ever getting out of the car…specifically so we could say we’d been to a different country.
23, it looks like. Amazingly, I’ve never been to Africa. If you include airports (which we shouldn’t), that number might double.
Oh–Add Austria to my list.
Madmonk–it’s “Czech Republic” now.

Not nearly as many as we want:
USA (home)
*the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands is a US commonwealth, but since few people have even heard of it, I want to give it an honorable mention. Home for 6 years.
Japan
We were abandoned by our airline in the Seoul airport for several hours, but we never left it.

Germany (when it was West Germany)
Belgium
Luxembourg (drove through)
France
Italy (and Vatican City)
Spain
Austria
Switzerland
Leichtenstein (drove through)
England, Scotland, and Wales

And all but 1 U.S. States, 2 Canadian Provinces, and ~6 Mexican States so pretty intense driving in North America.
That is all to say, not enough!
Not so amazing. I never made it to South America nor most of Central America, my only foray south of the US border being Guatemala.

India
The Philippines
The Netherlands
Belgium (While I was visiting the Netherlands, I took a few day trips and bike rides to places in Belgium. So I don’t know if I can count Belgium as a place I’ve really visited.)
The UK (I spent 19 hours in Manchester. About half of that time was spent sleeping and showering, and a couple hours more were devoted to getting to and waiting in the airport. I spent the rest of my time wandering around and eating things, though I’m not sure that’s enough to really say I’ve visited the country.)
So, that’s either 10, 11, or 12, depending on how you count.

That’s 35. We will be adding Egypt, Romania and Bulgaria next year for sure. Maybe some more.
Not counting my native US:
- 4 that I’ve spent at least a couple nights in
- 1 that was a daytrip only
- 2 of the airport only type. One of those there wasn’t an airport though. Getting off the plane for refueling still meant smelling the air and seeing the terrain surrounding the airbase as I walked across the tarmac.
Not bad for never having had a passport.
