I was stuck on 21 for ages then remembered the Maldives and Kuwait

24 if Gibraltar counts as a country...

I can now add Hong Kong and Bali to the list, and I forgot the Channel Islands so 27!

Still stuck on 59 countries and have been for a few years now.Was travelling all over the place for about 25 years.Then i got bored of flying and bored of airports.
Have also been to a few countries more than once like Ukraine 15 times,Canada 12 times,Australia 6 times.(i`ve only counted different countries though)But since i`ve got married all we seem to do is go back to the countries i`ve already visited.
So maybe next year i`ll get to the 60 mark with family in tow.

I have been to 80 cities in 23 countries, in Asia, North America and Europe.
