Nothing from the poles, and nothing from Australia though I have been there. Its mostly been travel for work, and mostly to cities, so naturalising is pretty ad hoc. I do manage Europe, Africa, both Americas, the middle east. The heatmap was handy to check this - https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/map?user_id=lera - but sounds like some of you have found a way to extract a list of countries?

Just one country, Canada. All in Ontario with the exception of Temiscaming Quebec (just 46 observations out of 7842) which is just a 45 minute drive from North Bay, Ontario.

Unfortuntely, some countries where I made port while in the Navy did not result in observations. Do you know how frustrating it is to be be in Brunei, known for being (at that time) 73% forested, and not have time to leave the city?
By continent:
North America
- United States
- Costa Rica
South America
- Venezuela
- Ecuador
Caribbean
- Dominican Republic
- Trinidad and Tobago
Africa
- Namibia
Asia
- Taiwan
- Thailand
- Hong Kong and Macau
- Malaysia
- Japan
Australia
Pacific
- Federated States of Micronesia

I havenāt done a global one yet, but if anyone wants a tracking spreadsheet for observations in the US by state/territory, youāre welcome to copy mine: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qVzB-uNYvFCbyD0_ZB8uRpt2Sg3zhxUu9xeReL-rrCc/edit?gid=0#gid=0
Just globally replace my username with your own in the URLs.

Since Iām not a frequent out of country traveller Iāve been wanting to do something similar for a list of countries that Iāve helped with IDs in and this might be my final push to do that haha

This is why I have no obs from Europe - although in my case it was because these resources didnāt exist in my life yet! If only I could go back; there were so many lifers then.

As I worked an lived abroad quite a bit I got quite a number of countries as well
Living and work related are:
Germany
Denmark
South Afrika
Namibia
Ecuador
Colombia
Egypt
Austria
and one observation from Italy when I have been on a conference 
additionally I have observations from Peru and Czech Republik , the only exclusively holiday locations so far, but Czech Republik will quite probably join the living-and-work-club later this year and will then get more observations by me

Iām lucky that Iāve had a job that allowed me to travel quite a bit. I count US territories as countries. Unfortunately I did most of this traveling before I got into iNat so I really missed out on a lot of observations. My trip to Moldova and Ukraine was in the dead of winter, so not many opportunities there.
Brazil
Cuba
Puerto Rico
St. Croix
Italy
Romania
I have two novelty observations, one in Italy and one in Japan. Both were found in the broadcast or posts associated MotoGP racing event.
