Ok, to soften the blow, some of those are 95% work which means I saw very little of the country.
For example, out of two trips to Singapore I had exactly 4 hours to myself, excluding sleep.

Unless you can include countries through which one was dragged solely for extradition purposes, my travel resume is as follows:

México
South Korea
France
Iceland
Canada (provinces: all except for Newfoundland/Labrador; territories: just the Yukon)
U.S. (states I've been in: Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, Inebriation, New York, Florida, North Dakota as a small crawly thing, Vermont and Hawai'i)

I've had the chance to travel quite a bit for pleasure and work which is nice. Much more travel planned over the next two years!

Places I've Been:

North/South America:
United States
Canada

Asia:
Japan
China
India
Hong Kong
Taiwan

Europe
Italy
Germany
United Kingdom
Sweden
Denmark
Finland

Just to balance out zenmonkey, in order,

Canada
Mexico
Italy
France
Spain
Germany

For a grand accumulation of two months or less for a time of all countries combined, and half of that was in Mexico.

I have been in all but 12 of the United States, and I have lived for at least 6 months or more, in, in decreasing amounts of time,
Texas, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, California and Nevada.

Three foreign countries:

Austria (Vienna)
France (Paris)
Poland (Cracow)

3 is a nice number.
But my favourite number is 9.

When I was so young it really doesn't count since I remember so little: Mexico, the Canary islands and the United States.

In adult age: Norway, England, Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Colombia, Costa Rica, Argentina, Peru, Brazil, New Zealand, Australia, Czech republic.

Plans for next year: Several spots in Russia for the Football World Cup. I will not repeat the mistake of going somewhere without knowing even the most important phrases such as asking for directions. I expect Russian to be more difficult to me than Spanish (which is difficult) but I will take it on and I have 6 months to get going.

Wow, some people have travelled so much, it's inspiring. It's my dream to travel the world (I know, how original). So far, I've only really been in Europe. Broadly moving West to East, I've visited... ((honestly, all I want to do is gooo eeeeaaaasst, life is peaceful there, go eeeaas-....))

- UK (it's where I was born, but counting it because I need to take a flight to visit most of it)
- Ireland
- France (and Monaco)
- Spain
- Germany
- Belgium
- Slovakia
- Czech Republic
- Austria
- Turkey (but the European side)

I’m interested in the most visited places of London. Can someone help me?

Mostly I like to travel.
For years of studying at school and college, I have already visited many Ukrainian cities: Odessa, Kiev, Sevastopol, Lviv, Kharkiv, Nikolaev, Kryvy Rih, Zaporizhzhia.
But I'm not going to stop just not on this list.
And so I want to visit as many cities as possible.
I like to chat with people and make new friends.
Therefore, my dream is to visit other countries and find comrades.
I want to travel in different ways.
For example, take a sea voyage to Madagascar, fly to Germany and drive hitchhikers to Spain.
I believe that everyone needs to visit at least one other country for his life. After all, in our time, we have many opportunities to fulfill this dream.

Anna,but what about other countries? Do you interested in GB? What do you think about London?
