    Too many to list as i've been to 91 countries.

    Every mainland country from Canada down to the tip of Argentina except for French Guiana. Only Carribbean countries i've been in were Cuba and Jamaica.

    Done a loop of Africa through the coastal countries and some inland ones.

    Been to 25 countries in Europe and 15 in Asia.

    Also been to Australia and New Zealand.


    I work from home and just need a lap top and a wifi zone. So i usually try travel for a few months of the year as i've no commitments. Went backpacking for a year twice when i was younger.

    Not sure if i'll ever hit 100 though as most of the countries left i have no interest in going to.

    1. they may be called cities due to history.
    2. belfast is in northern ireland and not ireland.
    3. it was a joke, you know a haha that's funny trying to provoke a reaction from AH folk.
    4. it worked :pac:.



    also you can't trust wiki for anything, i could go and write a page saying i'm a giant douche, is it true? probably but how would you know. similarly with cities.

    again with web addresses i could easily go register, www.creamygoodnesshousecity.com, does that make my house a city?

    my list.

    Ireland: Dublin, Galway.
    UK: Belfast, London, Cardiff.
    Sweden: Stockholm.
    Germany: Frankfurt.
    Italy: Rome.
    Canada: Montreal, Vancouver.
    USA: Boston, New York, Lexington, Chicago, Atlanta.

    Sure there's more.
    i was in a city in italy that had a population of 7,000.
    the term "city" is just a medevil term. anywhere that had a lord mayor,town hall ,and most importantly a catherdal is a city..
    i can never understand why irish people get so worked up over a medevil title.irish people see the term "city" as some sort of staus symbol its not.
    city just mean you have a catherdal in your town more or less.
    back on topic
    england. london,liverpool,leeds
    holland. amsterdam
    belgium. brussels
    france. paris
    america. new york
    italy. rome,florence, san gimignano
    germany. munich

    I used to be a shy kid and teenager until a mate went home and i found myself in Indonesia by myself. I spent 6 months traveling alone and it forced me to come outta my shell and meet people. I gained confidence, independence, seen a lot of cool shít, picked up 2 languages, overcame the fear of flying i had as a child, rode women from all over the world, been to every continent, i've become more easy going and appreciate the smaller things in life from seeing people with fúck all. I've got to work with kids from horrific backgrounds and endangered animals. While it has cost me a lot of money over the years it's probably worked out cheaper than being here all the time as i do everything overland bar necessary flights across oceans. I prefer the cheaper countries as the people are better craic. Money makes people idiots.
