I was the same!
Whilst I was at school I had been to France and Belgium on school trips and that was it. Family holidays were never abroad always the New Forest or similar, although that didn't mean they weren't fun!
Since then I have been to:
Cyprus
Turkey
Egypt (for one day!)
Domican Republic x2
New York x3
Cuba
Tunisia
France
Berlin
Prague
Amsterdam
Zimbabwe x2 (can I count that when I bungee jumped at Vic Falls it was on the Zambian border and I technically went into Zambia for a beer after?!)
Namibia
It doesn't actually look like that many places when it's written down - I think I'll have to blame Zimbabwe for taking over 4 months of my time in total, love it there way too much!

Czech Republic (Prague)
China (Beijing)
America (Florida, New York, Hawaii)

Also driven though Holland, belgium and Germany and had airport stop overs at Atlanta, LA, Mineapolis and Dubai but these don't count.
