Sounds like stamp collecting to me!

Reminds me of a guy I bumped into inter-railing many years ago. He was gonna bag all the capital cities in europe in three weeks. Whats the point and big deal?

I realised something in Phimai last August - that I was all travelled out. For now.

China and Thailands neighbours are all that interest me.

Must see the Scottish highlands before I leave these shores though!

Caller,
to actually be "collecting" countries would be pointless. I agree. But the question in this thread made me revive some interesting memories and I also, for the first time, realised that I over the years have done quite a bit of travelling. This made me feel good, as I have almost had a bad conscience for not longing to pack my bag very often lately.

As I said in my post earlier though, I would have enjoyed to have every poster pick three favourite places or countries to visit. That would have added a little more quality to all the quantity, and perhaps even revived the old wanderlust.

Pretty much everywhere except Africa and and South America, but who cares. This thread seems to be just bragging lists. All I want is Hua Hin and Bang Saphan. See you in 2 weeks.

Wow, who knew such a simple question would be accused of being so shallow.

I do not "collect" countries but I sure am going to try and visit as many as I can... I only have one life and I'd like to see what the world has. Some people may like to sit at home their whole life, some may travel just a bit, and others like to travel a lot-- I do not see how it is bragging to say where we have been.

My favourite destinations so far have been the islands of Greece, Austria, and Japan.

I am hoping to visit South America, Africa, the Middle East (maybe some day), and more of Asia.

Interesting question. Have passed through a lot of countries. (1 or 2 nights). To have visited, implies some time in the country and some knowledge of the people. history and culture. I recall visiting 15 countries in the Americas, 10 in Africa and the Middle East, 22 in Eurpoe and 10 Asian countries. There are several others that I have passed through. Besides Canada, (Home Sweet Home) favouites include Barbados, Mexico, Kenya, Scotland and of course LOS.

Hmmmm, Israel, Egypt, Morocco, Jamaica, Australia, New Zealand, N Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France, Monaco, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Holland, Austria, Denmark, Mexico, Malaysia, India & Thailand.

6 Months on a kibbutz in Israel & travelling Egypt, 8 months Australia & NZ, 2 months Morocco, 2 months Mexico & 12 months on & off in Thailand. All the other places have either been for work or holidays.

I think that's about it.

I don't think it's bragging (especially as my list is shorter than most!

), I agree it's interesting to know how much other members have seen.
My list: Germany, Denmark, Holland (Netherlands, sorry), all of UK except Ireland, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium, USA (Florida only

), Australia, Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, France & Thailand I think that's it.

Favourites are definitely Thailand & Australia. Lived in HK for 7 years, but isn't a favourite.

I thought it was an interesting subject too, my favourites were Thailand & NZ, Australia just didn't do it for me I'm afraid.
