A good buddy once said, "If everybody traveled the way we do, we wouldn't be able to do it anymore." Since then, I have done less of encouraging westerners to come to Asia, but of course, I still feel that travel is the best thing a person can do with one's self. So then, a survey of which countries you've experienced (and maybe any relevant notes):

In order of first arrival:

USA
Canada
Guam
Palau
Korea
Thailand
Rota
Tinian
Saipan
Bali
Taiwan
Mexico
Japan
Singapore
Vietnam
Lao
Myanmar
Cambodia

...that's about it for now.... Nepal next? Seems like a good time to go except for the coming monsoon season.

Great, now the rest of us (or at least me) feel insular and inadequate. I hope you're happy;)

You teach history in all those places? Your comute must be crazy! :eek:

Uhhhhh Southeastern USA? Oh wait... that's where I live. The Carribean's nice too though.

England
France
Germany
Belgium
Holland
Malta
Cuba
mm i might think of another one in a minuite.
ALL of them were awesome.

I've spent a total of a year and four months in Japan, and the rest of my life in the Northeastern United States. Japan's nice, although I find the Tokyo area too crammed together. I love the mountains in central Japan. I am planning on visiting England this summer and more of Europe the summer after that.

On the other hand my girlfriend has been to: Kenya, India, Colombia, Venezuela, China, England, Italy, France, and Canada. (I have to say this cause she's here telling me to) She is visiting Kenya, Canada and England this summer, and is going with me to more of Europe next summer.

mmm travelling and seeing new places is simply wonderful :)


i've been to

Portugal
France (lots)
Germany (lots)
Holland (twice)
Scotland (it counts!)
Belgium
USA (three times)
Switzerland
Canada
Greece
ummmm.... thats about it :(

Great, now the rest of us (or at least me) feel insular and inadequate. I hope you're happy;)

My travel guru, a former roommate from when we were in undergrad, is a serbian guy with a PhD from Japan at 31 and has been to nearly a hundred countries!...including Afganistan, August '01, Iraq, summer '02, and back to those countries again since, with other trips to Iran, and well, 90-some more..

China
South Korea
England
Italy
France
Germany
Peru
The Netherlands
Denmark
Austira
Belgum
Canada
Mexico

PyschoticDan, haven't you been anywhere? I mean, from what experience of the diversity of our world do you base your wisdom?

Iceland
Denmark
Sweden
Finland
Austria
UK
Luxemburg
Belgium
France (and Monaco, does that count?)
Netherlands
Germany
Switzerland
Italy
Polland
Spain

Most of those more than once, and lived in three.

How long must I have stayed in a country to count them on this list?

I, sadly, have never been in a foreign country.:(

Canada
Mexico
Parts of the US

When I get the opportunity to travel, I think I'll start with the US. It's a big place with lots to see. Of course, I'd also like to visit the UK, Germany, Italy, Japan and Mainland China.

I have been to the US and Canada.

This map shows the countries I've visited:

Canada
US
Argentina
Paraguay
Brazil
Egypt
Belgium
Germany
Hungary
Switzerland
France
Romania
Spain
Greece
Republic of Ireland
UK

Not bad for a 20 year old

Born In the USA and have been to:

Italy
Vatican City
Greece
Mexico

And all within the last 2 months! Oh, I'm 14 at the moment. Don't let the short list fool you, I'm a travel nut...just havn't had many oppertunities yet.

...that's about it for now.... Nepal next? Seems like a good time to go except for the coming monsoon season.
I wouldn't think the typhoon season would hit Nepal all that much. It's too inland, isn't it?

As for me, this year I've been to:
New Zealand, Macau, China and Tibet. And Hong Kong. I'm tossing up whether to go to Italy for Summer or just stay here, do some summer camp teaching and pay off my student loan.
decisions, decisions.

Man I've got some travelin' to do.

I've been to most of the US states (at least 46 out of 50), and Canada....

My dad can say he's been to most of the places that's listed on here (except africa I think).

All of the lower 48 states, Canada's southern provinces, Germany, Ireland, Kuwait, Qatar, Hungry, Turkey

If you haven't seen the US by bike, you don't know what your missing. I'd love to see Europe buy bike sometime.

By bike??? I'll bet thats fun. (sarcasim not intended)

I should say motorcycle, but have gone moutain biking in the Apps and the Rockies, and try to do Ragbrai (Registars Anual Bike Rike Across Iowa).

Ragbrai is mostly a mobile, weeklong drunkfest, rather than a bike ride.

I've been to:

Cook Islands
Australia
USA
UK
Ireland
France
Italy
Vatican City
Switzerland

Hmm...

Ireland.
UK.
France.
Belgium.
Holland.
West Germany.
Denmark.
Sweden.
USA.

I'm not a great one for travelling.

Pretty cool list.

From where did you get that picture? (Don't tell me you colored each an every country by hand - 'cause that's a nice picture and I wanna keep track of my own travels like that).

All over India (except Kashmir and North East states), Nepal and South-West and North-west USA.

Pretty cool list.

I've only been to Hawaii and California in the US though so its weird having alaska there..

7% down, 93% to go.

Oh man! That looks so pathetic. And I thought I was "well travelled". There's some really nices places in there though.

in no order whatsoever:
New Zealand (both islands, mostly south though and particularly otago. i love nz, i really want to go back)
Canada (nova scotia and prince edward island, going to quebec this summer cuz my mum's running the quebec marathon)
US (LA and san fransisco, may be going to boston as part of quebec trip)
Germany (all over, i particularly liked dresden, munich, cologne and berlin)
France (many times and all over, especially loire valley and brittany. also like the limousin area, and nice)
Cyprus (paphos area, village called Lemba doing archaeological work on a neolithic site about 10km in land from there. i would love to live in cyprus)
Potugal (mainly monchique in the hills of the algarve - really nice place and i love the food mmmm... piri piri chicken and fresh bbq sardines)
Fiji (saw nothing outside the resort and the coral was brown - i hate resort holidays)
been all over britain, my favourite places are the lake district, scottish highlands, edinburgh and devon.

edit: oo and i've been to holland and predictably went up in smoke for a week.

ok if we're including places we've just set foot in i can add malaysia (kuala lumpar) and australia (brisbane) to my list.

USA - fairly extensively travelled - my US map from Nadkor's cool link http://www.world66.com/myworld66/visitedStates/statemap?visited=ALAKAZARCACODCFLGAILINIAKSKYLAMDMSMOMTNMNCOKSCTNTXUTVAWVWY (Good one, thanks.)

My international travel is quite a bit less, but deceptive in that I've travelled quite a bit in the two of the three foreign countries I've visited. I've lived in Japan 15 years and travelled extensively (more than half the prefectures). I've visited Mexico numerous times (more than I can count, including a 1 month homestay as a university student) and have seen about 1/3 of the states. I also spent two weeks in South Korea (not extensive).

Canada
Mexico
USA
France
England
Wales (sort of I just barely set foot on it because I was right there)
Venezuela
Curacao
Palau
Trinidad
Tobago

My global travels

I've been to most of western Europe, and parts of the Middle East. Also, quite a bit of time in Ontario, and not so much time in Quebéc.

Europe (http://www.world66.com/myworld66/visitedEurope/countrymap?visited=AUBECZFRGEITLUNLSPSWTU)

Global (http://www.world66.com/myworld66/visitedCountries/worldmap?visited=CAUSATBECZDKFRDEITLUNLESCHIQKWQATR)

My US travels

Mostly in the Great Lakes and the Great Plains.

US (http://www.world66.com/myworld66/visitedStates/statemap?visited=COILINIAKSKYMEMDMIMNMONEOHWI)

Let's see...

Most of the USA
Canada
Germany (for less than a day)
Sweden
Estonia
Finland

If I weren't dirt-poor, that list would be much longer. Ah, well - someday...

I, sadly, have never been in a foreign country.:(
I'm pretty close, I've only been in the British Virgin Islands...it was nice there...sigh.

Well, I couldn't figure out how long I'd have to visit someplace to say I've "been there", so I qualified my answers. In no particular order:

Places I've lived: USA, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Malaysia, Botswana, Italy, Belgium, Zambia, France.

Places I've visited for one week (or more) at a time: Morocco, the Seychelles, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Egypt, Namibia, Germany, Switzerland, England, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Singapore.

Places I've visited for less than one week at a time: Mexico, Cote d'Ivoire, Tunisia, Liberia, Malawi, Tanzania, Mozambique, Denmark, Spain, Vatican City, Austria, Ireland, Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia.

I don't know if I would really say I've been to a country when I've only been to a select few cities in it. I'm more likely to actually name the cities, in all honesty.

USA, England, Ireland, Australia, Singapore, Vanuatu, Rarotonga.

*sigh* One of the advantages/disadvantages of being a teacher... fantastic summer vacations; no money to go anywhere during them.

1. US (home; various states)
2. Canada
3. UK

In my own defense, where I live in the US right now is still without flush plumbing in 95% of homes, so it's kinda like being in a foreign country...

America.. and Canada.. so.. East coast north america.. to sum it up.

Canada
USA
Ireland
England
Scotland
Wales
France
Belgium
Holland
Switzerland
Italy
Austria
Germany
Hong Kong
Thailand
Phillipines

Going to Japan in August.

Been USA, England, Scotland, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, Czech Republic, Egypt and Thailand.

I'm going to China at the end of the year... Anyone been to Shanghai?

Matamoros
Progresso


Well, I obviously haven't been very many places. I'd like to go to Australia, Japan, and Hong Kong in about two years, when I'll most likely have the money to do so. A trip through Europe would be nice, too, but I'd rather learn a few of the languages first.

( and a few others I don't care to mention )

Why?

A trip through Europe would be nice, too, but I'd rather learn a few of the languages first.
Most people (I have met, anyways) speak english. How good is a different matter :p

Been to California, Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Illinois and New York State in the USA, Ontario in Canada, mainland Spain as well as Lanzarote and Menorca, Portugal, Scotland, England and the Republic of Ireland.

Is there some rule of nature that requires everyone to use either the upyours, sniper, mp5, or gunge smiley in their first post? I never did it, so I'm worried about the universe punishing me for it.

So far, only Canada, The United States and Mexico, but i'm hoping to get to Europe one day and travel around there.

I've been... well, all over the place really. Some 26 countries I believe? A decent start.

Only continent I'm missing is Australia - if you're not counting Antartica, of course.

I finally got the time to punch in the countries I've visited so far:
