How many countries have you been to?

sarmer · 2009-12-23 10:39:25

I count up the number of countries I have been to the same way guys count the amount of girls they sleep with.. My number is 38. What's your number and where have you been? (Btw, if you never left the airport it doesn't count!)

They do for me! Anthing to boost my numbers!

So that's Ireland (obviously), Northern Ireland (lots) Scotland (twice), England (twice), Wales (drove through a corner of it and stopped for a loo-break there), France (a few times), Spain (once), Czech Republic (once), Italia (once) Switzerland (once) ... and that's it Ten countries, and not one outside Europe!

Still though, I was twenty the first time I went on a plane, so I've fit a few in the last four years since then considering I was a poor student all that time, and I plan to add a few more to the list in 2010.
