30 before 30

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by Jim, Apr 26, 2013.

  1. Something to pass the time a little challenge. Can you visit 30 countries before 30? or have you already done it? I am 30 in Oct this year and I am up to 28.

    The rules are your home country doesn't count, you actually have to have visited i.e. not just driven through and stopped in a motorway services. I didn't count Wales and Scotland I think the UK only counts as 1 and its my home country so I left it out.

    1. France
    2. Germany
    3. Spain
    4. Italy
    5. Sardinia
    6. Sicily
    7. Belgium
    8. Serbia
    9. Macedonia
    10. Lebanon
    11. Finland
    12. Switzerland
    13. Bulgaria
    14. Turkey
    15. UAE
    16. China
    17. Hong Kong
    18. South Korea
    19. Australia
    20. New Zealand
    21. USA
    22. Mexico
    23. Jamaica
    24. Haiti
    25. Cayman Islands
    26. Ecuador
    27. Peru
    28. Andorra

    Hopefully I am going to complete this with Gambia next month and The Netherlands also next month.
     
  2. I don't know about countries...........I'm currently trying to avoid visiting 70 WCs before I'm 70 (each day that is)

    I was trying to be married 5 times before I was 50.........I just managed to do 4 in 40........
