Relative "on which"

"...except for a few trips on which I went to other countries"

Is this sentence correct? I know it should rather be rephrased as "...except for a few trips to other countries"

But is the first sentence right? And if it is, doesn't it sound very wierd?

Thanks in advance.

I don't think there is anything grammatically wrong with the first sentence. It doesn't sound that strange to me. And, I don't think you would necessarily need to replace it with your second version, although that is grammatically correct, as well.

Thanks again for your help, Sam

I though "on which", should it be right, sounded too formal, because you don't often get to listen to this kind of expression.
