Well I've got a pretty poor set for a UK citizen (most people will have been on holiday to a load of countries around the Med):

UK (England, Wales, Northern Ireland, but not Scotland), Republic of Ireland, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Monaco, United States.

Must get out more...

Well I've now been to Scotland!

[morbiczer]

Most of these trips have been years and years ago, and often I just transited through these countries:

Hungary (where I have been born and where I live)
East Germany (GDR) (where I lived for 8 years as a child in the 80s)
Czechoslovakia
Poland
West-Berlin
West Germany / Germany
Romania (transit)
Bulgaria
Turkey
Yugoslavia
Austria
Switzerland
Denmark (spent probably 4 hours here)
Belgium
Italy (transit + a stop at Venice)
France
Monaco
United States of America

Edit: I just realized that I have been to Croatia only before its independence, not since, so I have struck it from the list.

I've seen a lot of Europeans who have visited the US, but not their bordering countries. As I live in the US, it doesn't really seem like that much of a draw for visiting (at least not for the price). What are the reasons people traverse an ocean to come here?

Flights to the US are fairly cheap and numerous, and the pound is very strong against the dollar at the moment. I think the fact that people there can nearly speak English is seen as a bonus. A lot of British families go to Florida for the theme parks. New York is also popular. And Boston, and Vegas, LA, San Francisco, etc, etc.

Cheers,
Liam

Hey, you were in Austria and didn't even say hello. I could have shown you some kangaroos.

I've lived in Austria all my life and visited the USA once. That's it.

Just been to the US, myself.

Dang, I forgot you lived in Vienna. I just compelted a freelance thing where I used Vienna as one of the cities; specifically the Prater and associated areas. I could have asked you stuff about it

Vienna sounds like a very nice place to visit. I hope to go there, and a few other places someday.
