How many people here have visited more than 3 different countries. Aside from the US, where I live, I've been to Canada, Mexico and Bahamas. I will go to Europe at some point in my life, also Japan and Australia. Different cultures just seem too great to pass up. Probably the whole grass is greener on the other side thing.

awaspaas · Mar 19, 2004, 08:45 PM

I've been to Canada, Mexico, the Bahamas, S. Korea, Japan, and China. I like the US best though, I'm afraid.

fat mac moron · Mar 19, 2004, 09:00 PM

South Korea, Ireland, Egypt, Japan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia. I really liked Japan.

ryju · Mar 19, 2004, 09:07 PM

Saint Lucia, Dominican Republic, Mexico, England, and Canada. I have cousins in Thailand (they also have a place in Cambodia), so I'll get there eventually.

I'd like to get to Japan, China, France, Ireland and Italy.

Synotic · Mar 19, 2004, 09:22 PM

I've been to France, Canada and the Philippines, I'd eventually like to check out some more of Europe, Japan and an African country or two. I've also heard Australia's pretty nice.

Busemann · Mar 19, 2004, 09:28 PM

I've been to 12 countries

ghost_flash · 10:18 PM

The question was : How many of you have been to more than 3 countries?
I'm editing mine to more appropriately answer the question.

I have.

Zimphire · Mar 19, 2004, 09:53 PM

Including the US 4.

Canada, Argentina, and Mexico.

Mr. Blur · Mar 19, 2004, 09:56 PM

mac-kerouac · Mar 19, 2004, 10:02 PM

I live in the U.S. I've been to Canada. But, I think I should also get credit for Tennessee. I know it is a state, but it should also qualify as some sort of country.

Timo · Mar 19, 2004, 10:17 PM

I've been around, too.

Getting out of the country (and off the continent) helps your POV.

realmeatychunks · Mar 19, 2004, 10:19 PM

I've been many places because I lived in Germany for three years.

I was born in the US, lived in Germany, have been to England, Scotland, France, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Belgium, Italy, Slovakia, Austria, Poland, Greece, Singapore, Australia, Israel, and I now go to University in Canada.

Tip: Don't try to make the Vatican guard smile. Ever.

Let's see...

I live in the US.

I've been to Canada, Greece, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland.

That's 6 I've been in, counting where I live

Now, for those that live in the US, how many different states have you been in?

I live in Ohio, but I've been in California, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. That's 17 so far...

My goal is to at least set foot in all 50 states. I'll make a trip to the "4 corners region" and step around the plaque they have mounted there, then I can say I set foot in Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico.

Krusty · Mar 20, 2004, 11:36 PM

+1 (<-- that is to say, I am one more person who's been to more than 3 countries).

That's not fair. Check out the title of the thread.
