Where the HECK have you been?
 
How many countries have you visited (actually left the airport, flight connections don’t count)?

How many states have you visited (actually left the airport)?

If you’ve been to Canada, how many provinces have you visited (actually left the airport)?

unclebilly 10-23-2025 06:35 AM

I will start.


16 countries (that I can recall).

25 or 26 states.

6 provinces and 2 territories.

id10t 10-23-2025 06:37 AM

Countries? US, Canada, Bahamas

States? Most of CONUS plus Alaska. Missing a bit of the Western US (Idaho, Wyoming, Montana) and the SW (Arizona, New Mexico, Texas). Have driven thru all of the rest.

For about 14 years, my wife and I were able to travel. We made 5 trips to the UK spending a total of just over 7 weeks. Our last trip had us in the south of France for two weeks and there were a few days in Iceland. We have done the drive to Southern Ontario and a few drives through the Rockies from Calgary to Vancouver Island. In all, three countries and seven provinces.

More than 15 countries, maybe close to 20, off the top of my head. Would have to sit down with a map to define it. Lived in 3.

More than 35 states. Would have to sit down with a map... Lived in 3.

Two Canadian provinces, Ontario and Quebec.

Seahawk 10-23-2025 08:19 AM

So far...
35 countries
46 States
3 Canadian Provinces (Alberta, BC, Ontario)
6 continents
4 oceans (Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern)

My impression is that the world and it's people are pretty amazing.

masraum 10-23-2025 11:06 AM

I'm a lightweight.

Japan, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Mexico, Brazil, Scotland < edit > I almost forgot Gibraltar. I guess you could call that "England"? < /edit >

and 30 states if you include Wash DC. (I think I may have missed a couple, but not sure)

And that's excluding places that I've landed, but not left the airport which would probably add a few countries and several states.

5 of the continents (only missing Antarctica).

Only the Atlantic and Pacific, but both "sides" of each (Cali & Japan for the Pacific, several states, Scotland & Spain for the Atlantic).

matthewb0051 10-23-2025 11:19 AM

Italy
Germany
Czech Republic
Austria
France
Belgium
Poland

Egypt
Kenya

Does Canada count?

I would say Gander Newfoundland but didn't leave airport. BTW: they are 30 minutes time zone ahead of east coast USA. One of a few places like that.

33 states (I think)

During my Officer time in the Army (15 years) moved 9 times. Two were self inflicted moves between houses at same location within a two year span. My 7 years enlisted I only lived in 3 places.

Every state except for Hawaii.

Canada, just Quebec and Ontario on a regular basis
England a few times
France a few times
Germany
Greece
New Zealand

Not as much travel as I would like. If I could get a special lobotomy to tone down the car addiction, I could double+ the country list. And would really like to.

Gogar 10-23-2025 11:43 AM

15 countries
50 states over and over and over forever
3 provinces

Perfect.

After my first tour in San Diego, I had over a month of basket leave and didn't need, per my PCS orders, to hurry to NAS Patuxent River so I did a tight sinusoidal wave across the country in my '68 912.
