"my going to many countries is a proof that I’m quite a traveller" or better "my having been to many countries is a proof that I’m quite a traveller" if you travelled in the past.

Can I also say ” I've been to many countries is a proof that...” ? And ”having been to many countries is a great thing ?”

Note that "been to" in the sense of "visited" is only available in the perfect (have been, had been, will have been). You can't use it in any other tense (I will be to, or after being to for instance).

You could say 'The fact that I have been to many countries is a proof...'

More clear would be: "My having been to many countries is <del>a</del> proof that I'm quite a traveller." "Me being to" is not in perfect tense as pointed out by Colin Fine.
