Wow, 36 states, Luet13.
Not bad at all.

Yeah, I've taken a couple of really intense road trips.

EDIT: Oops. And I just realized I forgot Connecticut. So bring up the count to 37.

You know, I've never kept a list of US states, so I'm not 100% certain which ones I've missed, other than Maine and Hawaii for sure. (I'm not sure if I've ever been to Alabama, North Dakota, Wisconsin or Louisiana).

Canada: Quebec, Alberta, British Columbia

Mexico: just Tijuana!

Europe: Portugal

Africa: Mozambique, South Africa

I consider it a serious blot on my travel repertoire that I have yet to visit Latin America especially as South America is the only inhabited continent I have yet to visit.

I'd really like to visit Mexico and Brazil at least once. And I'd like to hit up Antarctica just so I can say I've been to every continent.

Well, do airports count? If so, I've been to:

Ireland
England
France
Switzerland
Germany

In Paris, actually, we had an 8 hour layover, and we went into the city, so maybe that actually counts.

Israel, of course, and Canada.

In terms of states... Does driving through them count? If not:

Illinois
Wisconsin
Florida
Washington, DC
Virginia
Massachusetts
New Hampshire
California
Missouri
Kansas
Pennsylvania
New Jersey
Ohio

If driving through counts, you can add on:

I've been to pretty much everywhere in Finland and Sweden.

Also been to the northernmost Norway (the Ice Sea coast).

The Copenhagen area in Denmark.

Driven through Germany on the way from Denmark to Strasbourg, made extended stops in Lübeck, Hamburg and some small town the name of which I can't remember now (where we stayed overnight).

Been to Strasbourg, France.

Geneva, Switzerland. Actually, we stayed at CERN so that was really built on the French/Swiss border, and we also visited the French side for food shopping (they used euros so it was handier for us).

And I've been to the United States, though only to the Boston/New York area.

I was born in Pazzouli, Italy, and lived in Naples, Italy for the first five months of my life. My birth certificate is in Italian and everything. ^.^

I *think* I was in Canada at some point, but I'm not sure.

I've been to most of the US, including all the states west of the Mississippi(except one, I think). I lived in Alaska for two and a half years. I've also been to msot states east of the Mississippi, except those in the northeast.

I've also been to Jamaica, Sint Maarten, Saint Thomas, and Princess Cays.

...I think that's it. I really wanna go to Ireland, though.
