England, Ireland, Iceland, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Vatican City, Monaco, Greece, Malta, the Netherlands, Morocco, Andorra

Living in France puts you right in the heart of Western Europe, many countries are nearby, with the vast majority reachable by car and the rest by plane, but never more than 2 hours and 30 minutes away.

u/1Ferrox 20h ago

u/HiImNickOk 19h ago

My American mind can't comprehend going to so many countries/vacations that you genuinely can't keep track of them all. That's a great list though

u/Sweetreg 7h ago

Your american mind still thinks Europe is in France

u/HiImNickOk 7h ago

How original

u/Woodeyyyyyyy 2h ago

Right! Everybody knows it’s in Paris

u/SayNoToBrooms 20h ago

I never assumed I could count the Caribbean islands as separate countries, and that profoundly changes my vote after I had already made it

u/Lord_Pokeboll 18h ago

Crazy thing to say

u/ErzIllager 5h ago

Of course, they are comprisrd of (mostly) sovereign countries, why would you not count them individually?

u/SayNoToBrooms 20h ago

Who’s voted 0, and where the heck do you live???

u/watermelonlollies 20h ago

u/GDog507 20h ago

u/itrashcannot 14h ago

U.S. No passport or money. Besides the country is huge so I travel within in, but would love to go overseas one day.

u/ExoTheFlyingFish 11h ago

Haha sometimes

u/watermelonlollies 20h ago

Australia and New Zealand, and Italy and Greece. I also had a layover in London but didn’t count that because I never left the airport

u/LargeDuckEgg 12h ago

None. My shoes, which I’ve worn from birth, act as an autonomous zone

u/tsimkeru 🥇 21h ago

Because of border disputes, if you accept all claims, its 17, if we look de Facto its 15 or 14 (the true status of the Vatican is confusing)

u/curiousdoodler 7h ago

Lol yeah I was like are England and Scotland different countries? It depends which sport you're watching...

u/IAlwaysOutsmartU 21h ago

Bunch of rich people in these comments

u/FBWSRD 18h ago

Lot of europeans in the comments, who have those 20 euro ryanair flights

u/w33b2 17h ago

Or Europeans. They’re a short drive away from a half dozen countries at all times.

u/Bakibenz 6h ago

Trains, buses and planes are much more convenient than driving lol.

u/notmymain07 17h ago

Nah im talking about the people who have been to multiple countries in different continents

u/Alive-Mousse4036 15h ago

Being rich and not being poor are different things

u/AktionMusic 17h ago

You don't have to be rich to travel, you just need to prioritize it and be willing to rough it a bit.

u/notmymain07 15h ago

Ik im just a bit jealous because im broke

u/FeetYeastForB12 10h ago

Since when has travelling been a "rich" thing?.. Where are you from to have formed this conclusion?

u/Routine-Lawfulness24 7h ago

Spending 500$ is a lot if that’s your annual income, not everyone lives in us or central europe

u/Bakibenz 6h ago

Not rich by any means, but I have counted travelling through countries as technically being there. So when I was travelling from Hungary to Scotland via bus, I have visited plenty of countries.

I also had two business trips to Thailand, so I counted UAE and Qatar too.

u/GustaQL 5h ago

Easy as an european lol I can go to italy for a weekend and pay like 200 euros for total cost

u/Goldfitz17 17h ago

Been to 15 countries as american, and 3 different Continents. (i do count the US because Ive been to 27 states and we have relatively different cultures) im sure a lot of people are rich but myself and some others i know simply have different priorities. The only thing i spend money on besides my necessities is PC gaming which leaves me with a decent amount to travel and i barely make 45k a year and live alone. I have a trip planned for Mexico in October which will be my first time and going back to Japan for a second time to visit a friend in February. You can travel and not be rich, it just takes away from other potential hobbies.

I'm from Croatia and obviously visited all our neighbouring countries, and the rest is pretty basic when it comes to Europe. UAE was for a business trip. The next country I'm planning to visit is Portugal!

u/GDog507 20h ago

None other than my home country. Travel is far too expensive and if I had the money I'd put it to something I'd enjoy for years to come rather than a trip to a sightseeing tour that a million people see a year lol.

u/I_Suck_At_This_Too 17h ago

Filter out Americans and you'll get very different results.

u/myscreamgotlost 21h ago

Canada, Greece, Turkey, England, Ireland, France, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland

u/Severe-Tough-3972 20h ago

People who haven't been to any countries must have been born on Mars or sth 😭😭😭

"Your home country doesn't count"

u/DominateSunshine 15h ago

I don't get how people voted zero. Do they not realize they are in a country right now?

Unless you was born on an ocean or in space, you've been in at least one country.

With that said. I've never left the country I was born in.

u/ErzIllager 4h ago

I don't get how people see a post that seems to have an issue and don't bother reading the complete post (which might resolve the issue at hand) before posting a comment about it.
