Bonus points, for how long? Extra points, how was it? Additional points, why there and what did you do?
Canada, US, Iceland, UK, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Poland, Italy, Slovenia, Austria
Stopped going anywhere new though and I just go to Iceland every summer now
I’m Canadian BTW
Why Iceland?
If it was me (personally) I would pick Egypt
I can’t get enough of it. The people are so friendly. You pretty much can’t get into trouble there - I forgot my camera equipment in a hotel lobby one time and it was still in the same spot 12 hours later untouched. Nobody even locks their cars.
I just rent a car and bring my backpacking equipment and just wing it every time. Aside from Reykjavik 101 the entire country is just amazing. I Iove not having an itinerary and just planning my adventure as the weather permits since that changes daily.
If you get a 4x4 you can travel via F roads (aka fucked up roads) and completely avoid the tourist crowd. Offroading in thorsmork in particular is just the most glorious thing a guy can do.
sounds like a cool getaway to rent a hut warm and scenic on a cliff or mountain just to enjoy yourself and focus on your stuff
American here! I’ve been lucky to travel a bunch for work so some of the countries I’ve been to 10+ times for 1-2 weeks. Others are just for holiday.
Canada - only a few day trip to Toronto Mexico - one week but flying there tomorrow for a second week France - 10+ work trips Italy - 10+ work trips UK - weekend in London with the EuroStar from Paris Germany - a couple work trips China - one week Australia - two weeks Jamaica - two weeks Dominican Republic - one week
Somewhere between 17-19, but only on the Northern hemisphere.
One thing I’ve learned is that humans are very much alike everywhere, both good and bad, but mostly in a good way. I will never understand racism or patriotism. Borders are artificial.
Australia Hong Kong Taiwan China England Wales France Spain Catalonia Germany United States New Zealand Thailand Singapore Kenya Papua New Guinea Indonesia
Plus a bunch of airports, of course.
- 2 decades: Netherlands
- 2 years: Belgium
- 2 months: Finland
- 2 weeks: Iceland
- 2 days: United Kingdom
- 2 hours: Switzerland
- Somewhere between 2 minutes and 2 seconds: Netherlands, Germany, Belgium all at once
- 6 years: Germany
- 6 months: France
- 6 weeks… this is getting tricky, Luxembourg is probably closest but not close enough to claim this tier
- 6 days: Poland
- 6 hours: Sweden
- 6 minutes: I give up
I didn’t realise it was a life goal of mine to spend 6 minutes in a country until this post, but now I’m not sure I can unsee this list. Maybe the Vatican is a good candidate for that? Italy can go in the 2 days slot, bumping UK up to 6 weeks another time. Germany will exceed the 6 years slot soon though, maybe I’ll need to visit all sixers to get bingo on a row of sevens instead. And where are we going for 7 seconds? Another tripoint, does that count?
I’ve been on holiday in 32 countries. Quite a lot! About 2/3 of those were European countries (I’m European).
USA, Canada, Mexico, Bahamas, Bermuda, UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, UAE, Saudi Arabia, India, Bhutan, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Australia
I’m surprised that there have been very few people who go to Turkey despite it being 5th most visited
I’m even more surprised that nobody went to China despite being the 4th most visited
- US (live here)
- Australia
- Canada (many times)
- South Korea (twice)
- Kuwait
- Iraq
- Jordan
- Ireland
- England
- El Salvador
Notes:
- When I was in South Korea, I visited the DMZ both times and stepped over the 38th parallel into North Korea both times. Does that count as having been to North Korea?
If we are counting airports, I have also been to:
- Germany
- Slovakia
I refuse to answer, since “what is the first country you traveled to” is a recovery question used by at least one online service I’ve used, and I don’t want to risk letting someone else have a better chance at guessing the answer I used.
I just write curse words or pick some random option for those.
Tip: if you trust yourself to keep track of stuff, you can just use another password for these fields. I know this is pretty common knowelege in the privacy space, but a lot of people never think of it.

I think the shortest was 1 night in Trinidad Longest was 2 years when I lived in Grenada.
I’m American, so predictably I’ve never been out of the country. If money weren’t an issue I’d love to travel to Germany, Japan, and China to start.
Why specifically Germany? And why is it at the top of your list?
I’ve got some German heritage, and I’ve always wanted to see the Black Forest. Plus there’s the Brandenburg gate and castle Neuschwanstein.
Oof, you’d be on the road a lot. Black forest - in the very south west, Neuschwanstein - pretty south east, Berlin - very north east.
I might suggest going to the black forest, visiting all the historical castles in the Mittelrheintal (middle Rhine valley), and instead of Brandenburg gate maybe Stuttgarter Schloss etc. Neuschwanstein is basically castle-cosplay. I think in the middle Rhine valley you’ll find cooler things and it’s closer .
Thanks for the suggestions! I am slowly setting aside money to try to travel there someday and planning at least helps it feel closer.
I’m the Johnny Cash of Tamriel, Khajiit goes most places.

- France (born in it)
- Germany: (grandparents live next door on the border. I have great memories of tasty sausages and cool public playgrounds from my youth)
- Germany: (again) as an exchange student in middle school. I still have a seering memory that I didn’t even know what my home region name was in German (Lorraine = Löthringen)
- Luxemburg: dad was a smoker, cigarettes were cheap there, end of story?
- UK: went three time, in middle school, high school and with family. Best time was in high school when I boarded at this Elvis double’s. We always listened to great music and he made pancakes EVERY morning ❤️
- Denmark: exchange student in high school. It’s a beatiful country with great history. Too bad that my pen pal/exchange student and I were both timid :[
- Catalogna, Spain: with friends. Lasting memory is that I took some pleasure swimming again there. Wasn’t my thing since PE teacher said to my face I could’nt swim… 😬
Looking back, I’m quite privileged 😅
Catalogna, Spain:
I think that one was supposed to be Catalonia (or Catalunya or Cataluña), the gn as ni is an Italian thing, it’s not like that in Spanish nor in Catalan.
You got me! It was my inner french that seeped into my english 😄
Ah, didn’t knew that french also did the gn as ni, that makes a bit more sense, I found it weird that a French person was using an Italian phonem when writing English and was wondering if maybe there was a place with a similar name but google didn’t seemed to think so.
I believe its catalogne in French.
- Canada (I live here)
- USA (many many family/friend visits since I was a child; also lived there for ~6 years as an adult)

- Denmark (three weeks for a family visit)
- France (a weekend in Paris)
- Belgium (about 2-3 days in Bruges)
- The Netherlands (about 2-3 days in Delft)
- Germany (roughly 6 hours, driving from Belgium to Denmark)
