Title: Where have you been around the world?

I honestly haven't really left the United States (and SW Canada).  Yellow is where I've lived, and blue is where I've visited.  I currently live in Seattle, but I filled this map in a few months ago.

all 50.  

All Canadian "areas" (provinces, territories, whatever the fuck they want to call them these days) except Northwest Territories, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan.  

Many European countries, including some that no longer exist.

I once set foot in the Soviet Union!

otherwise, never been away from those two continents.  Sad panda!

You've even been to Nuwait?

where is Nuwait?  I am quite sure such a place does not exist (and, therefore, I have not been there).

In abbreviations:  CAN (BC, AB, ON, QC), USA (all fifty states except HI, WI, AL, GA, LA), MEX (Chih. & Son. only), IRL, GB, S, E, F, NL, D, A, CZ, SK, H, CH, I, P, GR, TR.  I don't count microstates or airport touchdowns.  I am only fractionally less of a sad panda than Jake since the only part of Asia I have been to touches Europe.

My bad.  I based it off of memory.  I meant Nunavut.

I've never been outside Europe. I never have set a foot on a commercial airliner, so everywhere I've been was by car. I do have a lot of fun exploring Europe.

I've been in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Slovenia, Croatia, Italy, France, Andorra and Spain.

I usually visit a number of countries per year, for example this year I've been to Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland and Italy.

We had a discussion about this here (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=613.0). Anyway, I've been to a few more states since then so here's (http://www.travbuddy.com/widget_map_display.php?id=4875193) an update of where I've been.

barely.  Since its territorial waters are defined to extend all the way up to the Quebec mainland boundary at James Bay, I've jumped across to the first rock in water off the Quebec shore and, therefore, been in Nunavut.  This was at low tide, so I may have even been in Nunavut 50 feet earlier.

This hasn't been updated in a while (there are a number of counties in Texas and a couple in Virginia that I've been to since then). As for international travel, I've been to Ontario, and I'm traveling to Brazil next month. (http://www.mob-rule.com/counties/user-gifs/algorerhythms.gif)

I've been to 44 states(all except AK, HI, ME, MA, NH and VT), and Baja California in Mexico. One of these days I'm going to get around to doing one of those county maps. I've also been to 10 states total in Venezuela on two different mission trips(I'd be interested and a little surprised if anybody else on here has been there).

No. Mormons aren't the only religious group that does foreign missions.
