How many countries have you been to?

ilikeplanets · 09-23-2016, 09:57 PM

Which was your favorite? How long were you there? I've never been outside the US but I'm sure I'll be forced to run away one day. I want to go to Italy, Japan, and South Korea. We almost moved to Canada in my childhood but decided it would be too cold. Fucking stupid call.

redbreegull · 09-23-2016, 10:17 PM

I was in Canada when I was 13. My dad took me to Niagara Falls and Toronto. It's another country but it's like... basically the same so I dunno how much it counts. also been to Senegal, the Gambia, Greece, Spain, Israel twice, Jordan, India, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar.

I can't pick a favorite, they are all very different. The Gambia and India felt the most culturally dissimilar to the US, Myanmar had the most insane architecture and ancient structures, Spain had the best city I've visited (Barcelona), and Israel had the most natural beauty (except for the US, we really have the craziest landscapes here).

The cuisine in Spain was my least favorite

ilikeplanets · 09-23-2016, 10:32 PM

Oh I want to go to Thailand too, I have a friend there

JESUSNEEDSAHIT · 09-23-2016, 10:40 PM

i have been to 17 countries in asia. thailand is over rated. as a first trip to not your h ome country it will be a good destination but it is expensive and is the most touristy country in seouth east asia

ilikeplanets · 09-23-2016, 10:42 PM

I wanna travel Asia too. Where have you been? I can't eat spicy food well so I'm probably screwed

ilikeplanets · 09-23-2016, 10:44 PM

I can eat jalapeños and their cousins but like kimchi and curry are too much. I hope to find something milder..

redbreegull · 09-23-2016, 11:07 PM

out of my four SE Asian countries Thailand had the spiciest food by far. Anywhere else it was always possible to find something non-spicy. In Thailand their conception of "sweet" and "spicy" is simply shocking to the American palette

in asia

china japan mongolia thailand vietnam malaysia india pakistan burma iran former soviet shitstain disunion turkey lebanon jordan qatar uae nepal. I also cyprus is that erupoe or asia who knows. most of these were when I was c hild though because my parents traveled a lot and thought it would be good for me. I did a middle east trip in high school and tried to go to israel but got turned away even though we had visas because we had stamps from arab countries in our pass ports

Disco King · 09-23-2016, 11:22 PM

I've only ever been to one country. The one I live in.

How the fuck do people have money to go places?

Disco King · 09-23-2016, 11:25 PM

I've barely even been anywhere in the country I live in. I've been out of my province once.

Though Canada is vast, so my morning commute to school is probably like going from Vienna to Gothenburg. So I'm actually pretty well traveled.

ilikeplanets · 09-23-2016, 11:38 PM

Yeah I've been far since I've been to most of the states but it doesn't feel like I've traveled anywhere

ilikeplanets · 09-23-2016, 11:39 PM

Wtf is your job Scotty and please sneak me in a suitcase next time, holy shit

ilikeplanets · 09-23-2016, 11:41 PM

And which was your favorite? The one with the best alcohol? Which is that?

vixnix · 09-23-2016, 11:56 PM

I haven't been many places, outside of New Zealand.

Australia
United States
England
Ireland

We haven't seen all of this state, yet, and haven't seen a lot of New Zealand, so there's still plenty to do, close to home.

We spend nearly all of our annual holiday budget flying home to New Zealand to see family.

vixnix · 09-24-2016, 12:00 AM

Not sure what my favourite was, but my least favourite was definitely England. Just because of the weather, really. And because London is so expensive and monotonous.

Scotland has best alcohol. Might also be my favorite. Although I love germany too. I lived there as a child.

Unfortunately most of my work trips are brief and I get no free time. Ppl think it's like a vacation but it's not. Although, I get to see things no tourist would ever see.

I'm going to Spain next month and I'll be visiting olive orchards every day while I'm there.

Tell me about Italy! Ive wanted to go since high school, I am obsessed with the art.

ilikeplanets · 09-24-2016, 10:48 AM

I've know you've probably been to lots of countries too, CAIC. I bet I've driven the equivalent length of the entirety of Europe but still haven't made it out of here! Bullshit

redbreegull · 09-24-2016, 10:59 AM

ILP, you've been to most of the US states? That's pretty well-traveled, the US is a huge place. I'm jealous cause I would love to see more of the US... when I see pictures of the American west I actually get this heavy yearning feeling in my heart. I think I am supposed to live out there one day. Unfortunately there are a lot of foreign countries I could go to for cheaper than a trip around the US would cost.

redbreegull · 09-24-2016, 10:59 AM

someone should find one of those sites where you create a map of where you've been and then we share our maps
