Which countries or States have you been to, work or pleasure?
Was lucky enough to have parents who were adventurous in that we first went abroad in 1956. Since then always had the travel bug and during the late 60s visited a lot of Europe using my thumb to hitch lifts.
So here's my list. France Spain Portugal Canary Islands Belgium Holland Denmark Germany Austria Switzerland Italy Vatican, yes it's a different country LOL Cyprus Crete Greece Turkey Romania Bulgaria Russia India Thailand Philippines Pennsylvania Maryland W. Virginia Virginia Kentucky Tennessee Arkansas Oklahoma Texas New Mexico Arizona Utah Colorado Nevada California Florida Canada Mexico Only places I would love to go and haven't would be Peru and Brazil. Still time though. So what's your list? |
I've hardly been anywhere.
I was born in 1975 and didn't leave the UK until 1989 when I went on a school day trip to France in 1989. Shortly after that my family moved to Ireland. We lived in County Cork mostly, but did spend six months or so in Limerick. Came back to the UK in 1994 and aside from one brief return trip to Ireland didn't leave these shores again until a year ago when I went to the US. Spent three weeks in San Diego, Las Vegas, San Francisco and Los Angeles. |
Maui: (basically another country in practice) work & play
Mexico: play UK: work Saudi Arabia: work Iraq: work Kuwait: work Bahrain: work Germany: work Spain: play France: play Denmark: play Canadia: work Every US State except Alaska: work that's all i can think of this morning before coffee. |
Nice list Paul!
Here's mine, cities included where I can remember them all Most recent (since i've moved to Canada) US Boston, Mass Bangor, Maine Old Town, Maine Canada Halifax, NS Montreal, PQ Cornwall, ON Toronto, ON Niagara Falls, ON While in europe Holland: Amsterdam England: (most visited included, driven all over) London Brighton France: Calais Paris Lyon Loads of other small town in normandy. and others on the way down to spain. Spain: Figures Barcelona Pals Lots of coastal town like l'estartit and tossa der mar A city on the costa blanca I cant remember the name of :P Italy: Milan Venice Lake Garda (done a tour round the whole thing one day, lots of nice towns! Scotland west coast, places like loch lomond and loch ness, plus a bunch of little town round the area Been to cornwall quite a few times, and devon Driven through the following countries with family France, Belgium, Luxemborg, Switzerland, Italy, Spain Seen tons of scenery on driving trips! One of the best being Mont Blanc and the Mont Blanc tunnel when entering italy from france. Really impressive! Thats about it for now :) Still haven't been south of the equator yet :1orglaugh |
US.... Too many states to list. Still haven't visited Hawaii, but it's on my list. In fact, I'd move there if I could sell my house here (which I can't). I was even looking at house prices there yesterday.
Europe... Germany, France, Iceland, Greenland, Belgium, Luxemburg, Switzerland. For the most part, Europe disappointed me. This was a long time ago, but you can see the American influence everywhere. The TV played American shows (in other languages), and the music was all American too. At the restaurants we drank Coca Cola. The one thing that killed me was the skiing - Went skiing in Switzerland, came back home to the states, went skiing once, and then never again. Once you've gone skiing in Switzerland, the US is a waste of your time. In Switzerland it was two hours uphill in a train at dawn, skiing downhill was an all day event with restaurants along the way. In the US it's fifteen minutes in line, ten minutes up hill, for five minutes of downhill skiing. I've also been to Canada and Mexico. Mexico is like a third world country, and Canada is lot like the US except for cleaner and the people are nicer. |
29 countries, some 6-7 states

It was in 1956 or 7 and you could see the shell craters and bullet holes everywhere. A division of Germans had decided to make a stand there. :Oh crap Quote:

Ive been all over the country. I had a job that required a lot of traveling.
The worst is Oklahoma. There's not a whole lot and the majority of people I came across were less than bright. The best being Hawaii. Perfect all the way around. clubs , girls, beaches, weather and everything is laid back. Second best is Austin Texas. Hot babes all over! 6th Street is a nice central location with tons of clubs. Third is Chicago. Great house scene with a cool house radio station that starts every night @ 7pm. |

Austin is my favorite place in TX, but it is still TX, so can not be on my best list. I hear people mention Chicago all the time and I just do not get it. NYC would get my nod over Chicago any time. San Francisco beats Chicago too. |
