I've been to Albania, Macedonia, Greece and of course Canada since I live in Washington state and it's so close. Growing up poor, though, the only places I went were in my stepdad's 18 wheeler as a long haul truck driver.
When I went to a private university it was total culture shock being around people who took international travel for granted. I'd never really planned for it, so when the opportunity came up to visit the poorest country in Europe it seemed like a perfect opportunity to expand my horizons while staying true to my white trash roots.
I do think it's very important to get out of your bubble and see what life is like outside of North America (or wherever you grew up and still live). My travels made me more proud (and interestingly enough, more ashamed) than I ever was before of my country.
