This site at times seem the fountain of all knowledge, especially when it comes to tips and advice about holiday destinations around the world.

It would be interesting to see out of the countries of the world, how many we can tick off collectively from this board.

I have not been the most avid traveller so will begin with my own paltry list of:

England
Wales
Northern Ireland
Republic of Ireland
France
Spain
Belgium
Netherlands
Romania
Czech Republic
United States

So 11 down, depending which source you look at around 184 to go.
