Just a bit of curiosity, what continents have you visited (or lived on).

The first one is obviously Europe, it's where I was born and still live. But I've also vacationed in North America (the US and Mexico), Oceania (Australia) and South America (Aruba, I think those islands are considered SA at least). And I had a stop-over in Kuala Lumpur on my way to Australia so I kinda also hit Asia (Malaysia).

So my score is 5/7, not too bad.

EDIT: I messed up, I've also been to the Canary Islands, and even thought they're part of Spain they're still technically part of the African continent. So 6/7, just Antarctica to go.

Weirdly enough, I've done the same.
5/7

Europe.
I was born in England, and I have visited some other countries such as Spain.

North America.
Been mostly to Florida for vacation, though I do plan to tour through a bit more before deciding to move (At a much later date).

Oceania (Or is it just "Australia", I don't know).
I live in Australia, and I have been to the surrounding places like New Zealand.

Asia.
Singapore, Thailand, and a few other places I can't remember stopping over.

Africa.
Mauritius for vacation ... not the best place I have gone to.
especially since cockroaches invaded our room the day before we left. D:

So that is that, I only hope that I get to travel more in my casual and professional future.
Especially Japan, Canada, and America as I said. =D

6/7, excluding South America. All the places I can remember on those continents are:

Australia: Sydney.
China.
Canada: Toronto, Vancouver.
Egypt: Cairo.
England: Birmingham, Blackpool, Bournemouth, London.
France: Paris.
Germany: Tarmac.
Greece: Rhodes.
Ireland: Dublin.
Japan: Arrivals, Departures.
Mexico: Mexico City.
N. America: Maui, Los Angeles, San Francisco.
New Zealand: Auckland, Rotorua.
Malaysia: Penang.
Philippines: Cebu.
Scotland: Dundee, Edinburgh, Elgin, Glasgow, St Andrews, Stirling.
Thailand: Bangkok.
Vietnam: Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi.
Wales: Abergavenny, Aberystwyth, Cardiff.

Of those, the definite favourites are Hanoi, Maui, Penang and Vancouver. Those Canadians were so nice and so much more chilled than their southern neighbors. I currently live in Scotland, a long way away from where I started. I've lived in Asia, Australia and New Zealand for most of my life.

1/7. The only time I've ever left Australia was to go to Bali which is part of Oceania. I really want to travel abroad but just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Just three, so I'm quite the continent noob by this thread's standards so far, I've travelled extensively in Europe (where I live) as well as visiting North America on five occasions and visited Oceania (New Zealand in particular) once. I haven't been to Africa, Asia, South America or Antarctica yet, I'd like to some day.

Only 2.

I'm Irish and I've visited England, Scotland, Germany and France.

I've been to New York twice so that's North America.

That's it.

I hope to rectify that soon though.

2, North America (visiting my dad families) and Asia (Hong Kong and China visiting my parent families).

I would loved to go to Japan and Italy at some point.

Hell, I've only left my state twice, and both of those were temporary little "visits" one lasting 2 weeks and the other lasting a single night. So as far as continents go, that's a big fat 1, I'm afraid.

I went to Germany once and am American, so 2.

I find it odd that I've never been west of Missouri and so have never even visited more than half my country, but have been to Frankfurt am Main, Berlin, Stuttgart, Marbourg, Wuerzburg, Munich, Ulm, and a small village in Austria named... umm... Riezlern I think. It was in a valley and I saw lots of cows, old cabin-like houses, and a kid fall off a trampoline as I was walking down the side of the mountain. Kind of odd that last one XD

Four. I refuse to count the time I stopped in Morocco since I didn't even disembark the plane.

Born in the UAE, also spent some time in Japan and Hong Kong, so that's Asia. Moved to the United States when I was three, so there's North America. Went for Christmas in Australia when I was 7, and did Christmas in France at 14. I was in the process of planning a trip to Egypt when 9/11 happened, and our travel agent said that there wouldn't be any tourism to the region for a bit. I still really want to go. I can't think of any reason I'd want to go to South America, and even less reason to want to visit Antarctica. So I'll probably get to five and stop.

Just 2 for me. I lived in Europe from ages 0 to 8....from then on it's been all North America. I've farted around the Caribbean and Mexico but not even close to be considered part of South America. I'd love to be able to hit up Asia and Australia at some point but don't know if it'll ever happen.

All over Europe + born & raised here

North America on a couple of occasions (USA when I was younger and then again in transit to South America)

South America once (Ecuador)

Africa once (RSA) (soon twice (Egypt))

Asia just about once. Went to Turkey but I only spent a day there so I haven't really explored it properly.

3. Born and raised in North America, was stationed in Europe and went to war in Asia. I've got no desire to leave North America again... hell, I have no desire to leave Cascadia again (Northwestern US and British Colombia)... not that I'm for mutual secession or anything.
