OK, I set this thread up to see where everyone has been, but also to see if we, as a large community, have been to every single country in the world. For reference, I am using this list down below of countries for the avoidance of doubt. Afghanistan Albania Algeria Andorra Angola Antigua and Barbuda Argentina Armenia Australia Austria Azerbaijan Bahamas Bahrain Bangladesh Barbados Belarus Belgium Belize Benin Bhutan Bolivia Bosnia and Herzegovina Botswana Brazil Brunei Bulgaria Burkina Faso Burundi Cabo Verde Cambodia Cameroon Canada Central African Republic (CAR) Chad Chile China Colombia Comoros Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Costa Rica Cote d'Ivoire Croatia Cuba Cyprus Czechia Denmark Djibouti Dominica Dominican Republic Ecuador Egypt El Salvador Equatorial Guinea Eritrea Estonia Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) Ethiopia Fiji Finland France Gabon Gambia Georgia Germany Ghana Greece Grenada Guatemala Guinea Guinea-Bissau Guyana Haiti Honduras Hungary Iceland India Indonesia Iran Iraq Ireland Israel Italy Jamaica Japan Jordan Kazakhstan Kenya Kiribati Kosovo Kuwait Kyrgyzstan Laos Latvia Lebanon Lesotho Liberia Libya Liechtenstein Lithuania Luxembourg Madagascar Malawi Malaysia Maldives Mali Malta Marshall Islands Mauritania Mauritius Mexico Micronesia Moldova Monaco Mongolia Montenegro Morocco Mozambique Myanmar (formerly Burma) Namibia Nauru Nepal Netherlands New Zealand Nicaragua Niger Nigeria North Korea North Macedonia (formerly Macedonia) Norway Oman Pakistan Palau Palestine Panama Papua New Guinea Paraguay Peru Philippines Poland Portugal Qatar Romania Russia Rwanda Saint Kitts and Nevis Saint Lucia Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Samoa San Marino Sao Tome and Principe Saudi Arabia Senegal Serbia Seychelles Sierra Leone Singapore Slovakia Slovenia Solomon Islands Somalia South Africa South Korea South Sudan Spain Sri Lanka Sudan Suriname Sweden Switzerland Syria Taiwan Tajikistan Tanzania Thailand Timor-Leste Togo Tonga Trinidad and Tobago Tunisia Turkey Turkmenistan Tuvalu Uganda Ukraine United Arab Emirates (UAE) United Kingdom (UK) United States of America (USA) Uruguay Uzbekistan Vanuatu Vatican City (Holy See) Venezuela Vietnam Yemen Zambia Zimbabwe Basically, it would be cool if everyone posted the countries they have been to and I will delete them from the list, and we will see how many countries we are left with. Perhaps we will even get all of them! (although I highly doubt it because countries like San Marino, Tuvalu and Kiribati exist ) Here are mine: Canada USA UK France Germany Switzerland Austria Spain Italy Vatican city Belgium Netherlands NB: Wrte out the complete list, not just those that haven't been said
If we really want to do this, perhaps the easiest and most sensible (and least confusing) method would be for each person replying to the thread to copy the list posted by the individual immediately upthread from them, delete any countries they have visited themselves, and then post the edited list. Then the individual replying to them can do the same and so on, with each post reducing the list further. This would also mean the moderators would not have to edit any posts
It's a good idea, but I thought that would make the page incredibly long, and with some countries being visited many more than others, some people maybe wouldn't be able to contribute... I was just thinking that once in a while I would publish an edited list which would allow people to see our progress
Well, if you insist UK Germany Austria Czechia Netherlands Belgium Spain Portugal Poland And a bonus one for potential addition at some point: Catalonia

Clearly some very well traveled people here (much more so than me) though I doubt we will get someone who has been to North Korea! My rather mundane list includes places already mentioned (with the possible exception of Mexico). Mexico United States of America United Kingdom (England, Scotland) Spain France Switzerland Austria Germany
Here's my list! Brunei, Eswatini and Laos should be additions I think. Australia Austria Belgium Brunei Canada China Croatia Czechia Denmark Eswatini France Germany Iceland Indonesia Ireland Italy Laos Luxembourg Malaysia Mexico Netherlands New Zealand Panama Poland Singapore Slovenia South Africa Spain Sweden Switzerland Thailand Turkey United Kingdom (UK) United States of America (USA) Vietnam
One or two of those I’ve visited have changed their names, or achieved recognition, since I visited... Algeria Armenia Austria Belgium Benin Burkina Faso Cameroon Central African Republic (CAR) China Congo, Democratic Republic of the Cote d'Ivoire Czechia Denmark France Germany Ghana Greece Hungary Ireland Italy Kenya Luxembourg Malawi Mali Monaco Morocco Netherlands Nigeria Poland Portugal Russia Rwanda Slovakia Spain Switzerland Tanzania Togo United Kingdom (UK) United States of America (USA) Frustratingly, there are 15 countries here where I didn’t get to visit a zoo.
