I often get asked how many countries I’ve been to, and to be honest, I’m on the team that doesn’t keep count! An opinion for another time, but I don’t believe that visiting one city in a country means you know the country well. I also tend to focus on slower travel rather than bouncing from city to city. Putting that aside, here’s a list of the international places I’ve visited (list version for now, but fighting the temptation to include too many details – I just need to get the list out! ๐):
Notes:
* = my first time in that country
If I visited 1-2 cities in that country, I will list it out – if more than that, I will add on later because I will have to think more about it ๐
