I am curious whether it's just my brain that doesn't work right

You're describing your travel experience to someone... which of these sentences would you SAY? As in, speaking, not as in writing an email/etc -- you're at the office or somewhere talking to somebody. Assume that you actually have the experience of travelling to France and Spain at some point in your life, and someone's asking you about what countries you have the experience of travelling to or plan to travel to.

(oh, and assume appropriate abbreviation, ie, "I've" instead of "I have", if that helps.)

[Poll #1413618]

And a better question: does it change if you are writing a report or article rather than just speaking?

I might even go so far as to say "I went to _____" -- especially in the last sentence. "On my trip to Europe, I went to France and Spain." Yeah. Visit? Maybe in a job application essay.

What she said. "Visit" is written English, not spoken.
