Brazil: I am from here

Argentina (Buenos Aires): for a week when I was like 7, so I don't remember it very well, but it was alright. It was the first time I'd ever felt temperatures lower than 10°C outside.

Never been to any country other than those. Traveling by plane is expensive and I don't live near the Argentinian or Uruguayan border (I'm fairly sure they can be traveled between freely since they're also in Mercosul)

Edit: also, I don't speak any Spanish and mutual intelligibility isn't very reliable

All in all, seven. Mostly for holidays or installation jobs. I like Ireland, the Netherlands and the UK.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Australia, New Zealand, United States, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, Luxemburg, and Netherlands.

I have transited via Thailand, Austria, UAE, and Singapore but I don't count those as visited.

Around 82. Most of them by train, bus and boat.

But the country count is irrelevant. Travel should be a personal experience, not a form of conspicuous consumption. Mass airplane travel in particular is completely unsustainable, which is why I hardly ever do it. I've been to a ton of very remote and interesting places but I don't blog about my adventures or post anything on social media. Only a handful of people ever hear anything about it, which is the way things were for everyone until approximately yesterday. Traveling slowly is not particularly expensive, it just requires time and a patient mindset.

The shortest stay was in Bahrain, for three days. I'd add duration and impression to the list, but that'd take me forever. So instead I'll just say that my favorites are Singapore, Malaysia, Czech Republic, and Croatia. Honorable mention: Bahrain

[–] Hugin@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

USA, Canada, Mexico, Bahamas, Dominican Republic, England, Norway, Italy, France, Germany, Iceland, India, Dubai.

That's not counting places like Finland where I was only there for a layover.
