Austria
Italy {Northern}
Switzerland {train ride thru}
France {Paris-Northern Coast}

So, 10 in total.

Edit: Probably doesn't count, but ended up getting lost in Austria and driving over the border into Germany for a little bit.

Germany counts but the American states don't; they might be big and it might take a long time to travel between them but they're still not separate sovereign states.

I live in the US and I've only stayed in Germany and Mexico, but multiple times for each of them. I've also stopped in Canada, Switzerland, and England during various trips, but I don't think those count.

Not all that many, really. I've been to a fair bit of Europe: Denmark, the Netherlands, the UK, France, Belgium, Switzerland and Greece. (Also, Germany, where I live.) Born in the States (and visited once after that), and vacationed in Tunisia once. So I'd say ten distinct nations.

2 US of A, and the punta cana. (Not counting my home country)

I went to florida to go to Disney land and I remember watch cartoon network while I was their. I also lost my shoe on the tower of terror.

Punta I looked like a confused tourist. People were trying to sell me cigars and special fruit. I sorta felt bad for not taking one but it's not like I would use the cigars. Other than that the land and ocean was beautiful, so much so I based my nation's geography on it, and started it while I was away. Also you know how they say that there are dog everywhere in Peru? Well cats are everywhere, at least at night, in punta Cana. Yet my mother never saw one, but they seemed to be around ever corner there.
