How many countries have you visited?

[EmyOnFire]

Some people never travel outside Canada or USA.
Did you?

[MrOracle]

I've only left the USA for Mexico.

Americans get a lot of crap for not "traveling more", but what I don't think a lot of Europeans really understand is that the continental US is nearly the size of all of Europe, with its 51 countries, so while Europeans may visit a lot of countries, most of them are likely to be within the same amount of area as the US - and I've been to 46 of our 50 states.

We've had guests from other countries who had no idea how big the US really was - several of them talked about driving from the Bay Area to Los Angeles to go to dinner - and can we drive by Disneyland? When I explained that, even at the speeds I drive during the middle of the night when there is minimal traffic - which is far faster than you can go during the day - it's a 6 hour drive one-way. During the day, you're going to be on the road at LEAST 7-8 hours if the traffic is light.

Another wanted to drive to Las Vegas, and looking at the map assumed it was a couple of hours away. Again, I had to explain that IF you drove in the middle of the night with no traffic and well in excess of the speed limit (which most people do at night), you're still going to need 7 hours to drive to Vegas - though you can fly there in a commercial jet in 65 minutes (not counting the hours of BS at the airport).

Several of my good friends moved to Texas a decade ago, and one of them had a friend from Europe, who thought he'd rent a car and go check out Disney World. Austin to Orlando can't be more than a few hours drive, right? LOL.

Even Americans from the east coast sometimes have trouble grasping how big the states are out in the West.

[DermalPunch]

So which Black Ops platoon are you in?

[KostasKouvalis]

@DermalPunch None. I'm a freelancer

[DermalPunch]

I was joking. Ok that's cool

[KostasKouvalis]

@DermalPunch Honestly, I just said that because I don't know what Black Ops is

[DermalPunch]

It's secret military who kills people

[KostasKouvalis]

@DermalPunch So freelance mercenaries basically 😂

[DermalPunch]

Well more secretive. Psychological warfare all killing people that need to be killed but they aren't allowed to be publicly.

[KostasKouvalis]

@DermalPunch I support that 100%, as long they really DO need to be killed

[DermalPunch]

O think I have a job for you. Kidddddiiinnng

[DermalPunch]

Have I? Yes. I've traveled within Canada and I have been to a few cities in the States. I've been to the Caribbean and visited several islands as well as the island of my family a ton of times. I've been to the UK and France twice. Now in Morocco.

I plan to fill out most of South America next year, along with Antartica and the Falkland Islands.

I have been to 26 countries (incl. the two I have lived in), but I have the advantage of living in Europe so :D.. outside of Europe I have been to 6 countries.

[AviatorTom]

I've been to 33 countries on 5 of the 7 continents. I plan on adding 5 more countries and another continent (that would leave only Antarctica) in planned travels the next two years.

Help please with my question?
Doesn’t seem to be as interested as I thought? ↗

[Wsx2wsx2ws]

Canada, USA, Brazil.
Soon our neighbors to the north will be the closest communist country right on our northern border. Much closer than Cuba. Doubt I will visit then. And hope there won't be a wall to the north also.

[menina]

I'm not from the US nor Canada and so far I've only travelled to 2 countries.

[slatyb]

Not enough. Only seven outside the US. I've skied in all of them except Mexico. I don't think there is skiing in Mexico.

[Minerate]

Only 3 (France, Germany, England), got several more on the list to visit, but the $$$ is always a concern. Hoping to travel more in the next few years once these student loans are paid off.

7 aside from my own, the USA.
Mexico, Ireland, England, Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium and France so far.
