I'm just curious!
I was musing today ( and I do , occasionally, muse) on my travels in the past; mainly because someone asked me : "how many times have you been to India?" because of my Indian cooking. Answer - never.
However, outside of the UK, I've been to France, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Czech Republic, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Greece, Monaco, Canada, USA, Mexico, Ecuador,Panama, Colombia, Aruba and the Dominican republic.
If this were a competition, SatNavSaysStraightOn would win hands down.:bravo::bravo:She's actually cycled through dozens of different places!
But it's not a competition, just curiosity.
 
Not that many in my case:

USA (best burger I've ever eaten, in Boston)
Egypt (great prawns and lobster, in Alexandria)
France (best Bouillabaisse, in Agde and many other culinary delights up and down the country)
Italy (best pizza, in Rome)
The Netherlands (another best burger and best pancakes)
 
Let’s see…
US, obviously
Canada
Jamaica
England
Scotland
Wales
Northern Ireland (including it)
Ireland (Republic of)
Sweden
France
Germany
Spain
Belgium
The Netherlands
Austria
Italy
Switzerland
Czech Republic
Slovak Republic
Hungary
Greece (Corfu)

I think that’s about it. We missed one of the Balkans in 2023, and depending on how things go, we should add Honduras and Mexico in December (and Belize?).
 
I probably have one of the shortest lists…

Canada
USA
Scotland

That’s it. There are so many more places I’d like to go and see, but life keeps getting in the way.

I will note one of my bucket list items is to visit every province and territory in Canada, and I’ve done most of them. I’ve been to British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia (and visited all of them, not just passed through). I’m missing Newfoundland, Saskatchewan, Nunavut, Yukon Territory, and Northwest Territories.
