I counted 3. Born in US, lived till age 26, then lived mostly in Canada for the last 49 years. But I thrice lived in Switzerland for an extended period: 6 months, one year, one year. Twice I rented a furnished apartment, but the middle time, it was unfurnished and we bought furniture that we had shipped back and are still using 47 years later. I also got a Swiss (FR) driver’s licence (it has no expiry date and I still have it), so it is unclear whether to count it in terms of the OP.
