Apologies if this has been done before, but I was reading the 'best' and 'worst' holiday/tourist destinations thread and it seemed to me that many of you have been allover!
So I thought I'd ask - 'which countries have you visited?'
I'll start:-
Spain -many times, including the mainland, the Balearics (Majorcia and Menorca), and the Canaries (Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuertaventera, Gran Canaria and La Gomera)
France - numerous places, many times.
USA -Florida
Malta
Tunisia
Sweden
Denmark
Russia (old USSR)
Finland
Barbados
Italy - X3
I think that's it, but there are many other places I'd like to visit -Iceland being the top.
Where have you been, and where would you like to go?

I used to do that myself. Some friends thought it was glamorous to travel so much with work but all you ever saw were airports, hotels and industrial estates and those look the same everywhere in the world. In the end I just got sick of the constant travelling and not knowing where you were going to be in a few days time.

Denmark- Aarhus
Switzerland- Bern, Zurich, Gstaad, Basel

.....and probably a lot more that I can’t remember without an atlas; my memory is not what it was.
you seem very poorly travelled, there was a bloke on Big Brother this year than had been to 119
Ireland, France, Belgium, Netherlands(*), Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy(*), Monaco, Spain (incl. Canaries), Gibraltar, Portugal, Vatican City, Luxembourg, Faroe Islands, Morocco, USA, Antigua(*), Sint Maarten & Saint Martin, Guadaloupe, Dominica, St Lucia, Martinique, Grenada, (Trinidad &)Tobago, Barbados.
(*) means multiple visits into the dozens (I like going to the same places...). I've also driven in most of these, and cycled and/or camped in just under half.
I've never had a desire to go to Eastern Europe, Russia, the Far East or Middle East, India, China, Australia, or most of Africa. But would have liked to visit Central and South America.
Is that allowed? In that case, add England, Scotland and Wales to my list to. But I'm resident in England so doesn't really count.
Spain - once.
USA - Four or five times.
Germany - Two or three times.
Austria - half a dozen times.
Italy - once.
Canada - once.
Switzerland - once.
I've also been on a golfing trip to Morocco and in December another in Portugal. Shouldn't really count though as I have no intention of being anywhere other than a hotel or a course.
New York City is love,
