[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same here. Early 50s, been to at least 70 countries. Not much desire to do it any more. I still have to travel this year, for work, to places on many people's bucket lists but I feel kind of "meh" about it even though they are amazing places. I've been to those places many times before.[/quote]

[b]Is 70 countries supposed to be a lot? Doesn’t seem like a lot.[/b] I think all the people here claiming to have loved travel didn’t really love it. If you love it, nothing can stop you from doing it. [/quote]

You sound snobby and insufferable.[/quote]

I thought 70 was a lot. Five or ten can be a lot of you spend a lot of time there, or if you go to one country repeatedly.

Who is the bigger traveler - someone who goes through nine European countries in ten days on a bus or someone who spends six months in one country visiting all corners?[/quote]

To each his or her own. 70 countries is a lot, any way you slice it.
I’ve been to 20, taking 2 trips per year (slowed down a lot when I had my DS). I tend to spend a lot time in one place to really get a feel for it though, long enough that I can stop pulling out the maps and public transportation guides.  I’ll keep travelling but probably slow down even more and spend 4-6 weeks, pretend I’m a local.
