After reading through all the entries since I first posted here, I realize that I completely forgot to name a foreign place I've visited: The Bahamas. It was a long time ago and I wasn't particularly sober for most of the weekend. Mea culpa.

Within the U.S., I've been to all of the lower 48 except 4 states in the southeast (NC, SC, AL, MI), North Dakota and New Mexico. Still haven't made it to either Alaska or Hawaii either.

I just came in from a brief exercise walk. It was 0 outside with a wind chill of -14. I think I'll pack for the southeast right now if you don't mind.

USA
China
Canada
UK
Ireland
France
Netherlands
Italy
Iceland (layover, I really want to go back though)

Goal is to visit all 7 continents before I die. Numero Uno on the bucket list.
 
Mexico and Aruba are countries I've been to.

There are many countries I'd like to visit Italy and Greece top the list for me.

Some I do not want to visit too such as India and North Korea.
 
I feel sure there's already a thread like this somewhere, but I'm lazy. Sorry. :p

So which countries have you been to? Which ones would you like to visit but haven't been to yet? I'm just curious because I love the idea of traveling, but I sincerely doubt that it's something that'll happen for me in the near future. So I'll just live vicariously through others. :D

Feel free to tell us anything you want about the places you've been or would like to go. And, yes, your home country does count as "a country you've been to"!

Now here are my no doubt riveting answers to start us off.


The Extremely Short List Of Countries I've Been To

1.) The US - I live here, obviously.

2.) Mexico - I was pretty young, so I don't remember much about it, but the beaches on Isla Mujeres still stand in my mind as the most beautiful place I've ever seen in my (very limited) travels.


The Extremely Condensed List Of Countries I'd Like To Go To

1.) Everywhere else

(I had a huge list going, but then I realized that it was much easier just to put it that way. :p)


Ok, y'all's turn!
US, UK, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Dubai, Finland, Sweden, Russia, Egypt, Kenya, Mauritius
 
The only place outside Europe I've been to is Istanbul. I've visited/lived in pretty many places in Europe, though.

Finland
Sweden
Norway
Denmark
Russia
Estonia
Latvia
Lithuania
Poland
Germany
Austria
Czech Republic
Slovakia
Ukraine
Hungary
Romania
Serbia
Bulgaria
Macedonia
Croatia
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Slovenia
Italy
Spain
Belgium
Turkey

And I've been to Heathrow, so does that count as visiting the UK? :)

I'd like to visit the rest of the European countries and almost anywhere beyond Europe. Iceland, Switzerland, Montenegro and Albania are high on my European travel list, but for some reason I'm afraid of France :)confused:) so I can't see myself going there unless I magically learn to speak French. USA and Canada (I finally want to visit an English-speaking country) high on my beyond-Europe list, along with Georgia (the country) and Armenia (cool writing, that's a perfectly valid reason for traveling there!).

This was a fun bump!

I'm happy to report that I have since gotten over my fear of France and have learned enough crappy French to get by! Turned out that instead of magic, all I needed was 3-ish months of Duolingo.
 
Lived in:

USA
Australia

Visited:

New Zealand
UK
Germany
Netherlands
Belgium
France
Sweden
Denmark & Faroes
Iceland
Mexico

Technically "visited" but never stepped outside the airports:

Canada
Singapore
Serbia
Abu Dhabi

I want to visit Ireland some day (lots of family from there) and revisit Iceland and Germany, especially now that I can speak a small amount of German. And there are entire continents I haven't visited at all.
