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

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/ErzIllager 5h ago
Of course, they are comprisrd of (mostly) sovereign countries, why would you not count them individually?

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)

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

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/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.

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.

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.
