    Awesome! I'm here right now (I live here that is)
    That must be great- sunshine almost all the time. For the past few days it hasn't stopped raining where I am. At least in the Caribbean the rain is hot. Might see you there that is if the mosquitoes don't eat you alive. I got a massive bite a few years ago, it was still itchy 2 weeks after we came back home!

    Britain, Ireland(Dublin), France(Normandy), Belgium(Ypres), Spain(Madrid, Barcelona), Italy(Venice), Greece(Athens, Delphi, Olympia, Tolo, Pylos, Mycenae), Turkey(Istanbul).

    And Vienna late this month, and probably Bratislava while I'm there, which'll bring the grand total up from 8 to 10.

    Sounds more like sandflies. Those are far worse because you don't feel them for a day or two, then they take a while to disappear

    Spain, Italy, Germany and France is all i've been to so far. Although all of them more than once.

    I've saved a whole load of money though to be used for travelling once i'm done with uni, or just during holidays. I might do some small trips this summer.

    i'd most like to travel the U.S & Canada. And also the Scandinavian countries.

    UK (have flown to northern ireland a few times to visit family), Republic of Ireland -a few times to visit family, Greece, Cyprus, Mexico, Dominican Republic (got evacuated there from mexico cos of a hurricane lol), Spain (Fuerteventura), Tunisia, France and Belgium.

    That makes 10

    Apparently technically I've been to Canada because when I was on a school trip that took us to the battlefields of France and Belgium, one of them was apparently Canadian ground so the tour guide said that we were technically in a little bit of Canada. I don't think that counts though lol just like my crappy legoland driving license

    The UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Monaco, Slovenia, Slovakia, Croatia, Greece, The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Lichtenstein - Those are the European ones.

    Ghana, Malawi, South Africa, Zambia - Africa

    Haven't been to South America or Oceania but neither of those continents interest me as much as the other three.

    And I believe the total countries I've visited is 28!

    Think you might be cheating by counting Gibraltar as a country.
    Why? It mostly governs itself and doesn't have any political connections to its bordering country (Spain).
