How widely travelled are you?

As a student, I lived in France (just outside of Geneva) for almost a year. While there, I visited in Switzerland a lot, Italy, and Spain. Since then, I've been in all 50 states, all of the Canadian provinces that touch the U.S. (plus Nova Scotia), most of the Mexican states (but usually just on the shore, on cruises), many of the Caribbean islands (yes, Grand Cayman is very nice), England, the Netherlands, Germany (just passing through), Colombia, Honduras (just Roatan), Belize, and...uh...San Francisco (that's a foreign country, right?).

We have an Irish friend who has promised to escort us in Ireland, if we ever go over there. For you ladies: He's good-looking, single, and was at one time the #1 salesman for Cadbury in all of Ireland.

Sold!!

Great Britain, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, France, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Canada (Toronto), Bahamas and many US states. I don't think I can pick just one favorite. I love London because there's so much to do. Paris is gorgeous. Switzerland and Austria are breathtaking. The Dominican is very interesting and beautiful tropical scenery. I love California, especially wine country and LA. Italy has amazing food! My travel wish list includes Alaska, Australia and New Zealand, Japan, China and Asian countries, India, all of Europe, the South Pacific, Hawaii, Patagonia, Africa, Southern France, the Middle East, Russia. I better stop now or I won't see my cat for years

I'd love to travel more! I did a bit when I was younger, but that's been curtailed for a while now.

I have been to: New Zealand, Australia, Fiji, New Caledonia, Cooks, Tonga, Singapore, Malayasia, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, England (and Wales & Scotland too of course!), Ireland, France, Canada, and 3 US states (NY, California & Hawaii).
Touched down in a few other countries, but that doesn't count!

I've been to the US, Canada and Japan. Within my own country I've only been to 1 other state.

Not very well traveled at all.

I've been to Canada once, St. Maarten N.A twice, St. Thomas USVI twice, Nassau, Bahamas once, Cocoa Cay once, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Indiana, off the top of my head.

I definitely would love to travel to other countries, especially ones in Europe. I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to go on a Mediterranean cruise. Since we have no kids, nor any desire to have any, hopefully we'll be able to do a lot of traveling in the future.

I've been to England and Nova Scotia. The places I've been in the US are Ky (lived there), North Carolina (live here). South Carolina, Louisiana, Maine, Oregon, Florida, Virginia, West Virginia, Hawaii, Rhode Island and New York.

I've never left Canada. I've been as far west as the Pacific Ocean, as far north as Grande Prairie, AB, as far south as some little town in SK, and as far east as Estevan, SK. So I'm not widely traveled; however I know some people that have never left Saskatchewan! I love Saskatchewan though. I could stay here forever! There is virtually every kind of landscape you can think of. In the south there are never-ending prairies and the occasional sand dune. To the north is the Canadian Shield, full of lakes and beautiful forests. It's the best of both worlds!

Not very, only The Americas, South America, Mexico and the US. I would like to change that though and would love to visit Holland and Japan!

Ive lived in four different countries and just moved back to Australia.

so this is my list, England, Scotland, France, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Austria, Russia, Estonia, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Latvia.

I can say i've been to Dubai as i had to stand outside at the airport, the air was so hot at 7 am in the morning and it had a different smell to other parts of the world.

Been to Singapore, Bangkok and Hong Kong several times but never managed to have a few days there.

Eventually id like to go to the US and to Canada.

can people tell me about Japan please, the ones that I have visited! I have always wanted to go there and I am in love with their food!

I from (and live in) Northern California... I get around the bay area and central valley quite a bit, and the Tahoe area. I've been to Reno, Vegas, Phoenix, Houston, Ann Arbor, Chicago (and Evanston), Boston (I spent a summer at Tanglewood in Lenox), NY, New Brunswick NJ... and that's about it for the US.

I've travelled in Europe a few times (for "work"). I've been to Moscow and St Petersburg, Vilnius (Lithuania), Ireland (Limerick, Cork, and Dublin), Paris, around various places in Normandy, Lyon, Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart, Villach, Vienna, Prague, Amsterdam, Zandvoort, Köln, Nuremberg.... and I know I'm forgetting a few. Given that my trips to Europe have all been on working orchestra tours, I've had varying amounts of free time to explore those places, but I've spent the most time in the more obvious places like Vienna, Paris, Dublin, and Munich.

Been traveling all my life. My dad was in the foreign service and my late husband worked for an international trading firm. I've been to most of Europe, North and South America, China, Japan, Southeast Asia, Australia and Vanuatu.

I've never really left the UK at all, only to go to France for a three day school trip when I was 12 years old...that's about it for me!

We visited Calais, and it was pretty enjoyable at the time.

I've been to the other side of the world, but I missed everywhere in-between.

I've been to the UK, but never made it to the Continent of Europe, in fact I only visited London. I'm sorry about that now, because it would have been nice to see the English Countryside. I've been to both the East and West Coasts of Canada, and I've been to Tijuana and Ensinada Mexico. In the USA, I've traveled to New York, New Jersey, Florida, Chicago IL, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada. When going by car, I've travelled through all of the states in between or enroute, but only went through those in between states. Usually I go by plane, so the only Southern State I've ever been in, was Florida.

US states: Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, North Carolina, Florida.

Canada: Ontario

Bolivia, Panama, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq.

For what it's worth, I think something like 1/4 of all Americans have never been more than 100 miles from their birthplace.

Well, I guess this makes me feel better, since I've been 20 times that far (Los Angeles/San Diego, about 2,000 miles away from Chicago.)

I've lived in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, and now New Hampshire. And I've vacationed to Maine, New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Virginia, Kentucky, and Florida.

The only place out of the United States I've been to is Canada, a couple times. I don't foresee much traveling in our future. I'd love to go to Hawaii someday, or across the ocean to Greece or Ireland. My fiance wants to go to California, but I have a wicked fear of flying. I almost had a panic attack flying to Florida, so I don't know if I'd be able to handle going to Cali or Hawaii.
