Let me start by saying, I LOVE TO TRAVEL! Is it obvious by this site? My husband Chris also likes traveling a lot too and we both love traveling together, but…I started this journey way before we met! I feel this list below of countries I have been to is representative of not just Europe or Mexico, but an entire sampling of WORLD knowledge and experiences. I have visited the North and South of Africa, the Middle East, Central America, Europe, Asia with high hopes of getting to all 7 continents in my lifetime!
So, just how many countries have I been to?
Well, so far, as of May 2024, I have visited 18 countries! By the end of the year it will be 25 (the ones in bold are my upcoming trips!)! I am hoping by the end of my 30th birthday in 2025 (right before I turn 31, I will have visited 30 countries!)
Here is the list!
- Kenya, Africa – my first ever time out of the country in college! Safari and visiting villagers while tent camping in a foreign country, a memorable trip!
- Amsterdam, Netherlands – Flowers and windmills, doesn’t get much better!
- Bahamas – Stunning Caribbean destination.
- Canada (Victoria, Yukon, Toronto, Calgary/Banff) – One of my favorites! The wildness of the Yukon and the natural beauty of Banff, this must go on your list!
- Mexico (Mexico City, Merida, Cancun, Tulum) – You really can’t go wrong with these destinations close to home.
- U.A.E. (Dubai & Abu Dahbi) – Such an explosion of cultures, like the NYC of the Middle East.
- Oman – One of my favorites! The fiords of the Musandam Peninsula are amazing.
- South Africa – One of my favorites! Safari, Cape Town, penguins, Cape of Good Hope, Kruger National Park….I would go back in a heartbeat.
- Mozambique – You want off the beaten track? This country is for you!
- France – Paris really is the city of lights and the food is amazing.
- Ireland – Visit a pub, see the Cliffs of Moher, explore the countryside, may the luck of the Irish be on your side!
- Scotland – The highlands and whiskey…could you ask for more? (oh and the highland cows)
- Sri Lanka – One of my favorites! Wild and chaotic (probably not for first time international travelers) but naturally stunning!
- Maldives – The water color is UNREAL and spending time in an overwater villa is a once in a lifetime experience.
- England – Close to home, but far away (love the accents and architecture). Feels familiar, yet some thing is different.
- Egypt – If you are a history buff, this must be on your list! Luxor, Cairo, cruising the Nile is not to be missed.
- Costa Rica – SOOO much outdoor adventure (not just stunning beaches, but cloud forests, jungles, and volcanic hot springs too!)
- Qatar – An amazing country in the Middle East, full of culture! Visit the spice souks, gold souks, take a desert adventure!
- Singapore
- Indonesia
- Malaysia
- Borneo
- Thailand
- Cambodia
- Turkiye (Turkey)
