I am interested in hearing of iNatters who lodged observations from many different parts of the World? Has anyone lodged an observation from all the continents? My tally is pretty modest. I have obs from my home country Australia and a few each from Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan. Also an observation from Vanuatu courtesy of my daughter. I am envious of people who can travel the World collecting photos of organisms.

Currently, I have observations from Australia, Fiji, Iceland and Europe. By the end of the year I will have added New Zealand and North America to that list. I have family in Iceland, UK, USA and NZ. it helps!

I have observations in Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho, eSwatini (Swaziland), Zimbabwe, and South Africa.
I’m not sure if I have taken pictures of any organisms on the Zambian side of the border with Zim (this was before I joined iNat), and I have a couple of physical photos from the 90s when I was a small kid visiting Switzerland, which I have yet to upload as I still need to ascertain the general location (I just am not sure which exact canton it was).

I have lived in a lot of different countries for work. I also worked on a sailing vessel for a while which helped the country count because I could take some pictures at all the ports we put in at!
My observations are from the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Taiwan from my time in SE Asia. The UK, Hungary, Italy, Sicily, Spain, Vatican City and Gibraltar from Europe. And finally, the Azores, Saba and St. Maarten (both Dutch Antilles), Antigua, the British Virgin Islands, Honduras, Panama, USA and Canada.
It’s a lot of places but a few of them are just the few observations I could get while passing through. And looking at the overall map it is striking just how much of the world there is.
I love visiting new places and ‘collecting’ as many species as I can in a new environment (having a partner from another country also helps). Having said that, living in a location year-round, learning the species and knowing where to find things is also very rewarding. I’ve been fortunate to travel a lot and live in a lot of places but over a quarter of my observations and nearly a third of my species count is from the Cayman Islands. And just when I’m struggling to record new (to me) species on the island I realise that the observer above me on the region’s leaderboard has double my species count on the island. Still lots to find!

I have observations from South Africa, UAE, Ireland, The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. 10 countries, I am pleasantly surprised! Some with only a few observations while passing through, others more. By far the most obs in my home country South Africa though.
The dream is to visit Australia in the next year or two, but I will have to save, and try to make contact with spider/insect people there before I go. Of course I’d like to search for spiders in every country in the world, but alas - age and money are factors!

I have obs from several countries because we mostly live on a cruising yacht.
But today, I was going through my Dashboard for the recent IDs and found one by @tgosliner. I hope he doesn’t mind me adding him here but I was astounded to look at the map of his observations (something I often do with new identifiers) - every continent including Antarctica plus lots of remote islands! Wow!!!

A relatively modest (for the thread so far) four – South Korea, Taiwan, the USA, and Canada.
Two of those (South Korea and the USA) feature observations made after I joined iNaturalist; the other two (Taiwan and Canada) are older photos that I uploaded after joining.

Hard to tell, because I went to Michigan, and then I would say I have observation from USA, but it is far from that, I just touched the 0,000001% of the surface of a whole country, but yeah, following a weird criteria, I been in several american countries, from USA to Punta Arena in south Chile, almost always following the pacific coast, and never in other continent.

I’ve been lucky to go to a lot of countries and get some observations including the U.K. (England and Scotland), Norway, the U.S.A, Canada, Ecuador (including the Galapagos), Hong Kong, and the U.A.E. That’s a total of three continents! I also have an observation from the Philippines, but it’s a pinned specimen and I haven’t actually been there yet. Next year I’ll get to add Italy and Greece to my list!

Only two (the UK and France), or four if you count the UK nations as their own countries (I have observations in England, Scotland, and Wales) 
I’ll be adding the US to that list later this year, but I really wish I had the ability to travel more and see wildlife in more countries!

Unfortunately i never digitlized the Letland and Litouwen observations, in those days there was not wrn.nl or inaturalist.
