13 after a recent flurry of parkrun city breaks!

UK, Belgium, Greece, Italy, Vatican, Iceland, France, Bulgaria, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Denmark, Netherlands
UK is 3/4, although the Scotland element barely scrapes the 10 minute criteria

UK (Scotland and England), Spain, Tunisia, Turkey

Small list, yes, but I plan to go to Italy next month (for F1) and maybe a couple more next year.

These travels to co-events are building my confidence ;)

We are definitely not seasoned travellers vs this thread and here’s the proof:

- Spain (a part of which we didn’t enjoy frankly)
- France (Disneyland Paris aged 6)
- Italy (Lake Garda twice)
- Malta
- USA (California paying my cousins a visit, then the US Grand Prix at Texas)

That’s it.

En route to the US, we embarked on an airport in Canada. Doesn’t count though.

And I gather you no longer have to remove your shoes at American airports (we did).

Thanks! The aim is to do 30 countries before 30, but think I can hold off from needing to do so many in such a short period of time- "quality over quantity!"
