Frufra said...

30, plus the District of Columbia. But as for foreign countries, only Mexico. I was surprised when I counted - I've been more places than I realized!

Karen said...

Oh, and five countries not including the U.S. Four, if Canada doesn't count. Eh?

VIPblonde said...

@Lisa - we ARE beautiful this time of year! We're getting past peak foliage here in New Hampshire, but it's still gorgeous.

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.

Abaddon said...

SophiaB said...

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.

But I haven't gone anywhere in a few years. I need a vacation!!!

Mr. T said...

Visited 39 states + DC (not including airports only), had sex in 13, lived in 8. Visited Mexico, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Peru, Italy, Greece, had sex in all of them. Probably ate ice cream in every state & country too.

SophiaB said...

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.

abob said...

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.

SophiaB said...

Who IS THAT in your avi @Mr. T? My phone screen is too small to make it out but it is um, hilarious? Icky? Weird? All of the above? You??????

High Heels said...

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.

RowdyRodimus said...

49 states and 4 countries (not counting America)

pegd said...

14 states & 11 countries (not including US)

Evergreen said...

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

8====D KermitGossnellKnobjob said...

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.

Unknown said...

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

Topper Madison said...

All lower 48 and D.C.
Three Canadian Provinces.
Four other countries.

Lisa said...

Having been both an Army brat and a Marines wife I traveled extensively in my life lol and then also moved around a couple of times after that. I have also traveled a couple of places so I have been to 38 states and 2 countries.

Its just U said...

7 different countries. 6 in Europe. I went to New York to get engaged.
I'm Irish and I've been all over this place and Northern Ireland too. It is so nice up there. Go up as often as I can.

Count Jerkula said...

29 states. Only time I was ever off US soil was British Virgin Islands, which doesn't really count.

amused bush said...

50 states, 8 provinces and 27 countries. I LIVE to travel.

Jessie said...

I've been to 4 Australian States. 4 US states. And 9 countries. I tend to revisit places I've already been. I'm a minor Francophile.

Unknown said...

9 states (4 of which I was only in the airports) and 11 countries.

OKay said...

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

Pogue Mahone said...

I have no idea how many states. I've driven cross-country three times. Up and down both coasts. I've lived in Oregon, Florida, Mass, Rhode Island, Maryland, and DC.

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.

Orvilla Bedinbacher said...

23states. no countries YET!!!!!

Frank The Tank said...

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.

csproat said...

42 states
23 countries

April said...

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.
