and how many states have you visited

21st Jul 2012, 10:02 AM

I was born in the city I live in, unfortunately. I've been to three states in the US, and six provinces in Canada.

timo · 21st Jul 2012, 10:06 AM

Nope, I moved for college to another city 3 years back. And number of states in the US visited? Unfortunately none, but some day I will.

Jim94 · 21st Jul 2012, 10:08 AM

Nope. I live over 1000 km away from the place I was born

vyvance · 21st Jul 2012, 10:08 AM

Was born in Sacramento, and was adopted by a family in Texas.

awesomeyodais · 21st Jul 2012, 10:11 AM

Yup born here - so far visited 6 provinces and 4 states (I won't count sitting in an airport waiting for a connecting flight but that would add 2 states and one province).

Bolin · 21st Jul 2012, 10:11 AM

I was born in the city I live in. I've been to 4 states besides the one I live in.

SkyDiver · 21st Jul 2012, 10:14 AM

Yup, I was.

I've been to 7 states and 3 provinces.

justinf · 21st Jul 2012, 10:21 AM

Nope, I was born near Chicago, but have been living in Amsterdam for 16 years now. Apart from Illinois, I've been to 7 states.

Catkin · 21st Jul 2012, 10:24 AM

I don't live in the same city as the one I was born in (I don't even live in the same country). I've never been to the US but I have lived in three different countries and visited five more.

DanA · 21st Jul 2012, 10:26 AM

I was born in Berwyn, Il.... but I live pretty close to Berwyn now. It's all Chicago-land :P

I've been to 15 states... mostly all over the Midwest or the Southeast. I've also been to 7 countries.

I do plan on doing all 50 at some point

midwestgirl89 · 21st Jul 2012, 10:32 AM

Does driving through a state count? I have visited/stayed in about 16 different states but I've driven through more states. I've also visited 1 province in Canada. I wasn't born in the city I live in now but I'm close to it. I don't live in a city though.

FJ Cruiser · 21st Jul 2012, 11:12 AM

I'm officially moving out at the end of the summer, but yes, I currently live in the city I was born in. I've been to 21 states and 2 Canadian provinces.

Kerze · 21st Jul 2012, 11:42 AM

I was born in a town Called Blackburn in Lancashire which is in the North of England. I moved to London when I was 3 months old and have lived here ever since.

secretgirlX · 21st Jul 2012, 11:59 AM

Nope, I was born in Nizhny, Russia, and now live in Long Island, New York.
Besides New York, I've been to... I think 5 states, possibly more.

Heyitsme · 21st Jul 2012, 12:39 PM

No, I was born in Spain and live in Alabama for the time being (but will soon be in Florida). I've been to 22 states (all of them being along the east coast, in the South, or in the Midwest, with the exception of Colorado) and one Canadian province (New Brunswick). And I've been to 10 countries in Europe.

Lovely · 21st Jul 2012, 12:50 PM

For 40%-ish of the year, yes, I reside in the Seattle area, where I was born.

I've been to...well, everywhere but the upper-Northeast. Let's see: Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Delaware, and I think New Jersey (though I might have driven through at some point? Not sure lol). That makes it 42 or 43 states plus DC. Who knows if I'll ever get up there to the unvisited ones...Boston would be interesting, I suppose.

I've also been to various parts of British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan; as well as England, France, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein (a brief stop between Switz. and Austria

), Italy, Germany, and Greece.

The only parts I really want to add to those international visits are the Netherlands, Scandinavia (in general), and I'd love to spend several months exploring New Zealand. I can take or leave anywhere else.

flyinhernikes · 21st Jul 2012, 01:25 PM

i was born in the worst town in england so nope.
and ive visited many towns, but only lived in about 4 or 5.

The Escapist · 21st Jul 2012, 01:48 PM

No, but close by. I've moved twice-ish, same state. Visited one other state (awesome), and across the bridge into another (hehe). I want to move all the way across the country some day.

xD I live some 16,000+ km away from where I was born... I can't say exactly where because its a HUGE giveaway to who I am if someone I knew was on here, but lets say somewhere in Africa... no I'm not African, its just thats where my dad grew up. And no, I don't know how to click >.< I always get annoyed when people ask those questions because their perception of Africa is like a jungle full of weird languages and huts...

OOO, and I've been to either 4 or 5 states, soon to be a range of 6-8 states
