How many of you have never travelled outside of your country?

[DonkeyDan]

Yes I have traveled outside of my country

No I have never traveled outside of my country

[wankiam]

when i drive to bulgaria i go through seven countries in the first day... it does show what someone else said though about being in Europe and how its not much different to driving interstate in america although we have completely different languages and quite a few border checks etc

[DonkeyDan]

Its very true, so easy to travel to different countries here in Europe.

[MTC29]

These are the places I've visited:

I've set foot on every continent, excepting Antarctica. This morning I booked a cruise which will visit Antartica in February 2023.

[htmndg183]

Where are you from?

[MTC29]

@htmndg183 I'm living in Florida, USA.

COVID really set back my travel plans. I want to fill out that map!

[htmndg183]

Good luck sir. I was wondering where you're from because i thought maybe you'd be from one of the countries not shaded on the map lol.

[htmndg183]

What countries are you looking to tick off in particular?

[MTC29]

@htmndg183
In addition to Antartica, the next trip will also include Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, The Falkland Islands, and Brazil. That will fill out the South American map quite nicely.

After that, I need to visit Russia, along with India and Pakistan. Russian visas are difficult to obtain, but far from impossible. India? I've always wanted to go there. Pakistan? If I'm in India, I might as well visit Pakistan. Americans have a reputation of never leaving the United States, and that is true to a certain extent. Even so, I enjoy travel. I like to get on buses or trains and just ride along with the locals. It's amazing how friendly people are; even having strangers buying tea or a pastry for me, when I know that it is expensive for them to do so. There are a lot of nice people in this world. I wish that I could meet them all!

[htmndg183]

Oh wow. Good luck. You are a proper traveller it seems. I'm pakistani and its not often you hear someone saying they want to come to pakistan despite more and more foreigners visiting it over the past 5 or 6 years.

I find it bizarre that a lot of Americans haven't left the US - but completely get it, there's everything to do there. I just find it exciting going to a different country, I got back from Lanzarote in December.

[TrueConfection]

Ask us how many states we've been to. The U. S. is the size of Europe. It's a lot easier to visit other countries that don't require transcontinental travel. Let's say you live in NL near the Brussels. You could probably make the drive in one day and hit 3 different nations. There's no way you could see the borders of Canada and Mexico in one day.

[acooke-13]

@TrueConfection Yeah I agree, I think it's crazy.

[DonkeyDan]

@TrueConfection
The number of states visited would be a good question and this question was nearly that, but I thought I'd be inclusive to the rest of the world this time. Next question will be that one. Considering I live in the UK I've been to a lot of states in the US.

[TrueConfection]

I've seen both questions before. I was just pointing out that Americans do travel within our continent, but we can literally drive days in a straight line and still be in the U. S. We are finally seeing school trips to other countries, but they cost thousands of dollars per student.

[DonkeyDan]

@TrueConfection yes i agree completely, and transatlantic travel is vastly expensive.

[Cherry234]

I haven't. There are definitely countries I want to visit one day (including Canada). Too bad I can't do that now because of covid.

[TrueConfection]

A. I have traveled to 5 other countries. I went through the airport of one more (several times), which I know doesn't count, but the experiences there made me feel like I have visited that country more than enough.

[purplepoppy]

It's pretty cheap and easy to here but I could see foreign travel being out of reach for many Americans

[WhiteSteve]

I guess I technically have, to Canada, as a baby. But I have no memory of it, so for experience purposes, I have not been outside of the country.

[FinalFantasyBro]

Wait a minute I remember I did travel to Mexico for a few hours when my family and I were on Carnival Cruise, shit I chose the wrong answer I guess. 😑

[Kabluie]

First left when I was 10, family went to Mexico to vacation. I still remember so much of it.

Last time I left was to Paris a year ago

[DizzyDesii]

I have not and unless its AU or Bahamas, I have no intentions to

[snowboarder720]

Not only have I travelled outside of my country, I’ve travelled to another continent 😊

[SecretYuna]

Yes I have from South Korea and moved to America plus I have visited back and forth

[menina]

Yes, I've been travelling outside my country since I was 3.

[RobT312]

Travel junkie... some for business, some for pleasure.
all continents except Antarctica

[AngelLily]

I Have not Traveled out but I Really want to and Plan To do So a lot if I Can.

[zagor]

Yes I have. About 30 countries so far. That number is on hold til Covid settles down.

[bigslab]

I have been to:Namibia, Mozambique, Australia, Bali, france, Italy, The Netherlands, USA, and Mauritius

[ewok737]

I lived in Iran for 3 years, worked for a defense contractor.
US resident.

[IncognitoBandito]

I've been to Canada and Mexico, but haven't left the continent.

[Layafell]

Many times. I'm in Europe so it's easy. I can reach 3 different countries in less than an hour

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Numerous times already

[LikeALog]

I've been to twelve at least.

[ChrisMaster69]

Yeah traveled loads places, often not by choice.

[MelonSoda]

Haven't yet, but really want to.
