I'm hardly more than 10 miles away from the hospital I was born.

---

I've been to 25 states and Canada
---

Whole East coast up to Mass, I think all states as west as Iowa (not any higher, no Wisconsin or Milwaukee), and California.
---

Live in a different state than I was born.

Visited 5 US states and 8 countries in 2 continents.
---

Live in Rochester, NY. Been to...

England
Scotland
Italy
Croatia
Egypt
Turkey
Greece

and probably a few others.
---

Not well at all. I've been to maybe 6 states my entire life.

Err and Canada, forgot I went there when I visited Michigan.
---

I've been in most states in the US and to a few cities in Canada. So, I'm not very well traveled at all.
---

Have set foot on three continents (Asia, NA, Europe). One of my goals is to go in six (dunno if I ever wanna go to Antarctica).
---

Currently living in the town I was born in

But I lived in 2 other cities, 1 in another country (of which I am a legal citizen but still)

I've visited every continent (well besides Antarctica)

Visited 41 countries
---

Been to most of the States, and one other country.
---

Still live in the same town where I was born in Ohio.

I've been to France for an 11-day trip when I was 14. Great experience.
I've also traveled to probably about 20 other states for vacations and stuff, as well as a couple places in Canada. I usually travel out of state at least once or twice a year for bowling tournaments, which is mostly why I've been to Reno and Las Vegas 5 or 6 times each. My family also went on a 2-week trip to San Francisco, Oakland, and Seattle for my dad's 50th birthday, so I've seen both coasts.

I'd really love to travel around Europe more. I'd like to at least see London and Amsterdam at some point. And going back to spend more time in Paris has always been one of my life goals. No idea how I would ever manage that at this point in my life, though. :-/
---

California
Florida
The Philippines
Washington
---

I spent 3 years on the trot wandering and working through Europe. 3 years is a long time to be living out of a bag.

Besides that stint, I'm woefully under traveled. Being focusing on exploring more of my own country, so moved cities as soon as I got home.
---

Farthest East: Washington D.C.
Farthest West: Los Angeles.
---

I have never left my home country, but I have travelled around it a lot (Australia)

One day I would like to go to a different country. New Zealand would be a nice start. I would like to go to japan too, but not without someone that can read/speak japanese
---

I've never left my home state. Farthest I've been was about 500 miles north.
---

Lived in 5 states in Mexico, visited New York, Houston, San Antonio, McAllen, Brownsville, Orlando, Nassau, Los Angeles, Toronto, Ottawa and Rome. Though half of the cities in the states I visited when I was a kid so I don't remember them that well.

North America:
I've been to every province/territory in Canada except Nunavit.
I've been to New York, Washington, Colorado and California.

Central America:
Just Mexico so far but Central and South America are on my to do list.

South America:
Haven't been, yet.

Europe:
London when I was a child. My wife and I are currently planning a trip to Greece and Italy.

Africa:
Haven't been, doubt I'll ever make it there but would like to visit.

Asia:
Travelled Asia extensively. Been to China, Japan, Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Multiple years spent travelling to/visiting these places. Currently living in Thailand.

Australia:
I'll visit at some point. Flights aren't too bad from Thailand compared to the insane prices from Canada.
---

I'm in a different city most every night.
---

I've lived in

UAE
Qatar
Trinidad and Tobago
England
Australia

visited more than I remember
---

Always lived in California but been to Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, and Mexico and Sweden for a minute. Much more down the pipeline. In the US only been to CA, NV, and OR (layover in WA and DC but that doesn't count)

Would love to live in Italy for a few months. Could see myself moving to Germany or Washington State if I stay in the US.
---

Not far, I live about 5 minutes from the house we lived in when I was born. Lived here my whole life. Never been more than about 20 miles away on my own. Live about 30 minutes from West Va, Tennessee, and North Carolina, but have barely set foot in any if them. I did go to Dollywood late last year though, that's the furthest I've been from home, it was like a 4 hour drive iirc.

Same, but I've been to about twelve states and one other country. (Only counting actual visits, not just driving through/layovers.)
---

I still live like a mile away from the hospital I was born.
My elementary school and high school are right next to each other (just a coincidence, there's 10 of each in my city).
My college building is like 200 meters from those two.

As for travelling, I've been in most European countries.
All the way to the west except for Portugal, all the way to the east but I haven't been to Russia. Haven't been to Norway either. South has been well explored.

Never went outside of Europe, tho.
And I haven't been to UK, either.

Fairly well traveled.

United States
Canada
Mexico
St. Kitts and Nevis
Ireland
UK
France
Belgium
Netherlands
Germany
Switzerland
Austria
Italy
Kuwait
UAE
Qatar (this was only for connecting flights, though)

Only ever lived in Illinois and Indiana, though.
---

I've been to aboutt a half dozen states, and to Canada.

Tennesse (I've lived here for a year)

California (visited family)
New Jersey (visited family)
Nevada (two trips to vegas)
Wyoming (dude ranch vacation)
New York (We visited NYC while seeing our family in NJ)

Texas (if being a coma for three weeks counts)

Georgia
South Carolina
North Carolina
Alabama
Lousiana
Illinois
Indiana
Ohio
Kentucky
Minnesota
Mississippi
Arkansas
Pennsylvania
West Virginia

States I can't remember if I've been to (either way, they're obviously going to be in the passed through category if I have)
Delaware
Maryland
North Dakota
South Dakota
Iowa
Kansas
Oklahoma
Nebraska

Colorado (most likely moving there soon though)
Hawaii
Alaska
Rhode Island

Additionally, I've been out of the country to visit Mexico, Jamaica and the Bahamas on cruises.

@PMarth2002 if you don't mind me asking, which area of VA did you live in, and which area of Tennessee are you in now? I just find interesting to see how far I am from people in nearby states. If you don't want to answer, that's fine too.
---

I've lived in two states/towns. I've traveled across the south, from TX to FL, drove through Arkansas, visited Tennessee, then eventually moved to he west (but I flew, so going over doesn't count).

Basically, I'm not well traveled, at all. Every time I fly, they treat me like shit at the airport and single me out, so I really don't like to travel. Each to his own.
---

Never left the mainland US, but I've been on the ground in 45+ states.
---

I've spent time in (not just passed over or through):

Illinois
Wisconsin
Texas
Indiana
California
Washington (state)
Tennessee
Virginia
Florida
Ohio
Kentucky
Nevada
Minnesota
Michigan

that's the US

for the rest of the world, I've spent time in (not just passed over or through):

Canada
Mexico
Australia
New Zealand

Europe and Australia. Would like to see the tourist parts of Egypt one day (the great pyramids, the sphinx etc) and maybe do the inner-geek holiday to Japan with my wife!

Only been in 7 states including my home state. I love traveling when it's by car. I'd love to see NYC and DC someday. But I'm not about to fly. I'll do it by car and hit a ton of states along the way. Bucket list thing.
I'm only 5 miles away from the hospital I was born in. My mother too. My grandmother was born in a home the freeway now occupies like half a mile from me. My family goes back over 110 years now in this dump of a town.
---

Born in California, lived in Mississippi, grew up in Georgia, went to school in Alabama and Indiana (and visited Chicago a lot), live in Maryland/DC, have family in Tennessee, visited Florida a few times, and for conferences I've been to Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Washington, Oregon, Texas, Ireland, a few cities in England, Germany, and Japan.

Stayed in North Carolina for a little while for a work trip at a military base, and I've gone to CE meetups in Virginia (though also DC area) and New York/New Jersey

I'm a stereotypical American who doesn't own a passport.
