Xela Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I think we had a topic like this before, but had a quick search and looks like its been pruned. I was discussing this with my mate last weekend who said by February he would be ticking off countries 49 and 50 when he visits Macedonia and Kosovo (is that recognised officially?). It made me think about myself and disappointingly my total stands at 31. I attribute this to going back to countries multiple times recently that I know I will like (Egypt 4 times and Thailand 4 times for example). So what is your number, and what countries are they (if you keep a list). I know there are some very well travelled people on here, so will be interesting to see. I'll put my list up later, as got to go out now for a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
