  23. Outside of US I've only been to Canada and Mexico. We drove from SoCal to Washington DC one summer so I saw a lot of beautiful scenery throughout many states. I've been to New York and New Jersey too. Even tho I'm left coast I've never been to Oregon or Washingon.

  25. Lots of states. Lived in US & now Canada. Mexico, Philippines (dad in Navy, age 2-4), France, Germany, Switzerland (dad is Swiss born and raised til 17). Alabama, Virginia, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, DC, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Michigan, Ohio, Iowa, California, Texas, Utah, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, New Mexico, Florida, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and I am sure the minute I push the Publish button I will remember the rest of it. But for drug addled pea brained before-my-second-cup-of-coffee pain wracked and all, I am impressed how many I was able to remember.

  30. Indiana! My hobbit hubby's Mennonite spawning ground. Wonder where else my brain will resurface once I click out.

    This is why I have historically done so badly on tests. My mind plays hide and seek with the factoids, of which I retain zillions but only access at random. ADD-ALWAYS an adventure.

  31. I've only been to about 10 counties (from UK) and 2 states, but I've been to several countries many times and been to the other side of the world. Mmm, travelling.

    ReplyDelete
  32. European - been to 15 countries, some of which visited 10-20 times. So I was surprised when I started counting it wasn't more. I do travel several times a year. Also lived abroad in 4 foreign countries (9 times in total). Next weekend trip is UK, where I've lived twice and visited about 10 times.

  35. Wow I honestly cannot understand how so many people have no desire to travel outside their own country. It blows my mind that people are satisfied just puttering about their own state and their own country and never seeing the worldI have been to about 25 countries and about 25 states and even that feels like not nearly enough

  36. I'm a poor European (a PIGS) with an airport far from where I live, therefore I travel very little.
    13 countries members of the UN (including mine) all in Europe.

    ReplyDelete
  37. 32 countries not including anywhere I never made it out of the airport.

  50. I've been to eight states, if you include sitting in the Seattle airport as "being to" Washington state. The US is the only foreign country I've ever visited, sadly. And DH hates to travel! That's okay, I've got no problem leaving him at home. :D

  56. I spent a year in Iowa as an exchange student in 1981 and was astonished that some people had never left the state (even though Omaha was equidistant to Des Moines). Actually I was horrified to be more accurate - at such a lack of curiosity about other people and cultures. Weird.

  58. 34 states, two U.S. territories, three Canadian provinces. Eight countries, not counting the day I sat in the Auckland, NZ, airport on the air-side of customs/immigration or the day I sat in Shannon, Ireland; same deal.

    For most of the 1990s and early 2000s, I was platinum on American Airlines.

  60. I've been to every state save Alaska and Hawaii. My dad was a long-distance truckdriver and I used to go with him some summers so I could visit my grandparents in California. He always made sure to stop if there was something interesting or touristy en route. Kind of love him for that.
