Current Events > Have you ever left your country?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Technically once, but it wasnt much.
I do plan to leave many times in the future though.

Farthest you all have gone?

Never

Yeah, quite a few times.

Yes, a couple of times even by foot (US-Canadian border, before the happening).
The farthest I've gone from home is 4,000 miles.
The farthest I have traveled in the country is 2,000 miles (to the west coast). I plan to visit Denali within the next year and a half, which should take me a little farther out than 3,000 miles.

went to cancun when i was a kid, had a really bad blister in my mouth, got severely sunburned holding on for dear life on jetskis, got seasick riding in a B.O.B.

so yeah it was my best vacation ever

Twice, haven't left my province since 2005. I really want to take a trip, I just can't afford it. I finish college this year, so hopefully I get a job that will let me start saving so I can take a proper trip in 2024.

North: Copenhagen, Denmark
East: Famagusta, Cyprus
South: Castro, Chile
West: Hawaii (don't remember it, as I was only two years old at the time) / Chichicastenango, Guatemala

Been to Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, New Zealand, England, Scotland, Spain, Austria, and insignificant amount in Mexico, Sweden, Belgium, France, Ireland either on layovers, day trips or passing through.

Yes but until I was in my 20s I never went anywhere else but Canada

I've since visited

UK
France
Germany
Italy
Czech Republic
China
Japan

But those all happened within the span of like 10 years. And since then I haven't done much traveling

I haven't even left my state in almost 5 years (which is when I got here)

I crossed into Mexico on foot because going by car is annoying as hell.

Been to Sweden, Norway, Latvia, Portugal, and Canada. Germany, too, but that was just a stop-over in Frankfurt.

North: Kittil, Finland.
East: Imatra, Finland.
South: Faro, Portugal.
West: Jasper, Alberta, Canada.

Nope. Might be nice to someday but Im a little wary of flying so it might have to be limited to places I could feasibly go to by train/car.

I've been across the border to Mexico a few times.

Wait, are we counting layovers or no?

Never have and probably never will.

You bet, kid.

Yes on a cruise trip years ago.

Usually travel out of the country a couple of times a year. Once to visit family in Canada and once to the Caribbean. Havent since Covid though. Farthest Ive been is Egypt.

Yup, and I plan to leave much more. Maybe even for good in the future.

I went to London for 2 weeks in 2014.

I've been to both Canada and Mexico, but have never left North America.

I left the country I was born in at five months old and rarely go back.

Canada a bunch of times, Mexico once, and France once.

Ive gone way farther in my own country than I have to another country. Pretty close to the US border. I've gone down there a lot.

yeah

different places in mexico too

so like when people talk about mexico as a whole

they're pretty wrong

its like thinking everyone in the USA thinks the same

yeah u can narrow it down to states or cities
for the most part

but cities are huge and the majority is there but the rest is spread out in 32 states

I've lived most of my life in Alaska close to the Canadian border, so been there many times.
Mexico and Costa Rica once each.

The only time I've ever been outside the US was when my family and I went to Wheels Inn in Canada. However I was so young at the time, I can only vaguely remember. The only memory I have was my dad taking me on the water slide.

No. Hell I can't even leave my town for long

Spent a year in Austria. Went to a bunch of other countries during that time. Hungary, Italy, Sweden, France, Germany. Also been on a couple cruises to different places.

I haven't yet.

Yes, plenty of times. It helps that I can cross the borders to the east and south by just driving for 20 minutes. I haven't been to a lot of different places though since I refuse to go to any shithole that requires 5+ vaccinations before even getting on the plane.

Farthest north I've been is probably Vancouver. Farthest west is Los Angeles (or also Vancouver). Farthest east is Warsaw, Poland. Farthest south is Curaao.

Yes but I'm half Canadian.

More times than I can count

Malaysia (1 week), Philippines (about 3 years and 6 months total, maybe?), USA (10 years),Japan (about 12 years), South Korea (3 weeks), Hong Kong (10 days), Singapore (3 weeks total).

been to Taiwan too but only stayed in a hotel for one night in Taipei for a layover.

The furthest journey for me has to be from Japan all the way to Texas and then South Carolina =]

Yeah, I've been on a few cruises. Mexico and some carribean islands. Never been to another continent.

I have even moved countries; USA to U.K. Farthest Ive traveled from Wisconsin is the Maldives.

No, and I probably never will. There are places I'd love to see at least once, but I'm afraid of flying, and didn't have much fun the few times I got on a plane.

I've been to Kuwait and I made a pitstop in Germany when flying to and out of Kuwait.

No, but I would like to.

I'd also like to see more of the US. Only been to 23 of the 48 continental states.

Not since Covid hit but I'm looking to start travelling again more this year.

I genuinely don't understand the mindset of somebody who never wants to leave their own country.

Nope, but my brother has a destination wedding in October in Iceland, so I'll be making my first overseas trip in 8 months. >_>

I have no particular interest in visiting other countries or seeing sights and everything I do want to do, I don't have to even leave my house for so (besides driving)

<_<

Been to Canada like 3 or 4 times and Mexico once.

Does Juarez count?

Week in norway, week in sweden, and aproximately 2 hours in Germany.

Thats all.

Farthest you all have gone?

As I said earlier, I've been to mexico and some carribean islands, but the furthest i've ever traveled from where I was living was to california from Tampa, Florida. Mexico/Carribean aren't that far away when you live in Florida and travel by ship.

Lots of times, been to 15 countries, some more than once.

Furthest from home would be Sydney, Australia which is about 10k miles away.
