    So this thought has been bouncing around in my mind and I wanted to know about my fellow EC goers, so this mostly goes for our United States residents obviously, but if you're European/Asian/Caribbean/etc and have also been to a US state, I wanna know :slight_smile:


    The requirements: For a state to qualify, you have to have been there for at least 24 hours OR visited something specific to the state, so you can count it if you were passing through and stopped at a landmark, like the arch in in Missouri, but not the Golden Arches in Missouri. And for the hell of it, I'll also include US territories, such as Puerto Rico, or Guam, or the US Virgin Islands (And if you have, do share, that sounds interesting.) Home states count as well.

    So let's see who the most traveled of EC is :slight_smile: (Of America, of course :wink: )


    As for me, I've been in Florida (Ex-Home), Georgia, Maryland, Pennsylvania (New-Home), and New York :slight_smile:

    I think it's 36 I've been to? We lived in Louisiana for quite a while and my mum was always booking cheap holidays to places!

    I assume you lived in the US for a majority then? I mean.. Scotland to the US isn't what I'd consider a cheap holiday o-o

    If you don't count just passing through, probably about 6 states.

    I was born there and we stayed there for a few years until my dads contract ended then we moved back for another 2 and a bit years in '97.

    Admittedly some of the were just stopovers at airports, but it still counts! My feet (or pram wheels) touched the ground :lol:

    I visited Florida when I was 10 because of Walt Disney World. Florida is probably the most popular US state for Brazilian tourists because of Disney and Miami.

    You didn't listen to my rules! D: You have to have been there for more than 24 hours OR visited a landmark or something specific to that state.

    So where is the option for zero? I've never been out of my country, and never likely to be.
