I feel like this post should also clarify that islands should count because aside from having visited 4 countries I also did stuff like visiting my aunt at the Dutch Carribean who lives there. (I was that one European kid in class who has relatives scattered on almost every continent, people like my old racist teacher when I was 14 would make salty remarks like, 'well it must be nice to have a place to stay almost everywhere you go.' )

*can be niece/nephew through sibling or cousin

**parents and siblings

#I am not super well travelled but I have went to 4 countries and two islands #Whilst I don't remember it I actually am one of the few Gen Zs who saw the twin towers when they still stood #I had a 'chosen' relative in New Jersey- may he rest in peace #I would always get birthday cards with 20 or 30 dollars that I would exchange for euros #I still want to go back to New York so I can go visit his grave and put some flowers as the granddaughter he cherished me to be #Also I met Patricia Paay once #Godzilla fans might remember the girl group she was in as she was one of the Star Sisters members who made that decades old hit #She was carrying around her dog in Amsterdam and we had a conversation about her pet without me realizing I was talking to THE Paay #She is one of those old media figures who remains relevant through drama #Similar to Patty Brard- who she often has a feud with #Imagine the likes of Camilla Cabello and Jade Thirlwall having frenemy drama 40 years from now and you get a gist of Patty vs Patricia
