LOL Mikey.
I started travelling around 20 years ago, so I suppose that is how I managed to visit 40 countries and some of them more than once. But I did not go to every nook and crany of them. In some I only went to one city. In others I travelled quite extensively.
But I often look at the countries I have not been to yet and hope I will remain able bodied all my life and live for a long time to hopefully see them all.

I've visited 90 "territories" as defined by travelblog, over the last 30 years. Many of them more than once. Actually it's probably a few more than that if you consider East Germany and Macau and Hong Kong and the Vatican, Puerto Rico etc. All of you will probably exceed me by the time you're my age. There's actually a "over one hundred countries" club but I've met a few of those people and I wouldn't want to join their kind even my count reaches one hundred.

Over sixty, but I'm 53 yo! Every continent except Antarctica. I've lived and worked overseas. You have to be a traveller rather than a tourist, just ticking/checking off places (tomorrow must be Belgium!). nad which of the 60 plus countries were the "best" (whatever that means)?......

34 "territories" and counting...lived in 6 of them so far (the current one being China) and ready for a lot more ! Agree with Row, it is not so much about being a tourist but more about being a full time traveller, leaving and working abroad and getting to understand the place you live in... Reply to this

68...or not really sure, but it's everything between 65 to 70...not really important! What is is what you lived! And maybe...the help you gave some to get up a little from their boring lives...at the end, we live only once...it may last 100 years...we are not here to compare each other...just to learn from each others...Have fun!

Ok - I think its 19 if each of the countries of the UK count, i.e. Scotland, England, Wales, N.Ireland????? - I think they should count as separate countries visited as they all have their own identity, history, languages, food - although english is obviously spoken everywhere mostly as a first language - but try telling some of the northern towns in Wales or the highlands and islands of Scotland - where celtic languages are predominant. Im Scottish and definately feel a deep sense of pride - but also happy and proud to be part of the UK and now live in England.

UK + 8 european countries, Tobago, USA, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Malaysia, Ecuador, India, Ireland. Reply to this

I think I'm at about 20 now. But as I keep arriving in one and staying for months on end, could be a while before it increases much!! Reply to this

I'm up to around 40+ but some of those don't exist anymore or are now more than one country!

Will be adding China, Mongolia and Russia later this year and probably a few European countries next year.

Anyone want to swap a house in the UK for one in Australia for 6-12 months? See my add in the Classifieds.
