Just for fun: There are 193 countries, how many have you been to?
According to the UN, there are 193 countries (with some debate). How many have you been to and which ones (please don't include holdings of other countries...for example, the Cayman Islands are not a country)... For a good reference see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states
I've been to 20 (so far!), they are: Antigua and Barbuda Australia Austria Bahamas Belgium Canada France Germany Greece Ireland Italy Japan Luxembourg Netherlands New Zealand South Africa Switzerland United Kingdom United States of America Vatican City State |

Depends on how you count it.
 I landed in Switzerland & drove through a portion of it, but never actually did anything, so it may or may not count. (The airport argument. )United States Switzerland Austria Germany United Kingdom (Scotland only)

It looks like 28, unless I am forgetting something. Pretty much all in North America and Europe--I have not had the chance to branch out much yet--I think we will get much further once the kids are off and it is just the two of us travelling.
The US Canada Mexico The Bahamas The Dominican Republic Spain Germany France Austria The Czech Republic Turkey Hungary Belgium Denmark Greece Hungary Italy Liechtenstein Luxembourg Malta Monaco The Netherlands St Lucia Sweden Switzerland Tunisia The United Kingdom Vatican City (well, the Wki link does point out that technically it is its own country--which still astounds me  )

I'm taking it that touring the countries in Epcot doesnt count right?
 I have never been outside of the United States.  I have just never had a desire to.

 I know I sometimes have felt "wrong" for not wanting to buy a house (I honestly have no desire, I'm happy renting, particularly as we're still nomadic and may yet live in a few different countries before we settle) but I get a lot of slack for it. Travelling is a passion for some and not for others, some people find happiness in their own backyards!
