I was making travel plans last night and got to thinking about how little of the world I have seen relative to how many countries there are out there!

I worked out that I have been to just the 10 countries so far and even then I had to cheat a bit:
England
Wales
Scotland
Ireland
France
Germany
Spain
South Africa
Australia
Singapore.

Next stop New Zealand but there is much more to see yet!

So over to you, where have you been so far? :D

may i suggest that this link may be useful...

http://douweosinga.com/projects/visitedcountries

its not fun readng long lists of countries and as a bonus looks really cool if you've visited the big countries (like me!).



Visited 23 countries, 10%.

interestingly I have never set foot in wales or scotland, let alone ireland.

haha, never really had the chance to go there as yet I'm afraid (I'm only 23 and still a student so I consider my traveling exploits so far reasonably impressive ).
