General Chat / NE's Great Travel Survey

Time for another survey! This time it's about travel. How much does NE travel? And how does NE travel? What are the differences in travel behaviour between different nationalities? Lots of semi-interesting questions.

Because NE's polls don't include the option for open answers, we're going to do it partially in a poll, and partially in the comments. Vote in the poll, and if you want, post a list of all countries you've visited below.

I wanted to open a topic about 'What countries have you visited in your life?', as a spin-off from the coolest cities topic. But I thought, I might as well make it a Great Survey...

Previous Great Surveys
NE's Great Sexuality Survey (May 2011)
NE's Great Residential Survey (October 2012)
NE's not-so-great phone survey (March 2013)
NE's Great Shower Survey (January 2015)

Countries I've visited:

- Netherlands (home country)
- Belgium
- Germany
- Luxembourg
- Switzerland (passing through)
- Italy
- France
- Spain
- Greece
- Turkey
- Norway
- Denmark
- United Kingdom
- Curaçao
- South Africa

(Definition of visited: literally set a foot on the ground and inhaled the air. Disqualifies countries you've flown over, countries you drived through by car do probably qualify)

I'm such a lame traveller

 

- Lived in the US [California] for a year

- Visited the Netherlands multiple times for family

- Crossed over into Germany I think once or twice

- Live in Australia

 

Not sure if I should include my place of birth, Canada...have never 'visited' per se because I was just born there and have unfortunately not travelled there since.

"MFG"

Outside of the U.S. I've only been to Haiti, Grand Cayman, Jamaica, and Cozumel, Mexico. All of which were okay really, nothing too special from what I can remember. Although it was really cool in Mexico because I was at a bar there when they beat Cameroon in the world cup last year, and boy they really know how to celebrate!

US
Grand Cayman (not sure if sovereign, too lazy to research)
Mexico
Canada
Belize

Haven't really left the continent, unfortunately. I want to visit all over Europe, and Australia.

Born and raised in the US. And I think I spent an hour in Canada once just to say I've been there. I'm not much of a flyer because it costs money and I prefer driving places anyways. 

Netherlands

Belgium

Luxembourg

Germany

Austria

France

Spain

Italy

Portugal

Czech Republic

United Kingdom

Turkey

Tunesia

United States (Arizona and Nevada, excluding airports)

i'm glad to have never left the glorious united states of america for a second in my life

Why have you never left the US?

because i can't afford to

I feel like listing US states I've visited too.

Washington

Oregon
California
New York

New Jersey

Massachusetts

Idaho

Wisconsin

Minnesota

Illinois

Wyoming

Maryland

Virginia

Ohio

Texas

Alaska

Hawaii
Indiana

Connecticut

 

Including airports:

Utah

Colorado

Arizona

North Carolina

Missouri

 

Everything I'm missing is in the south or southwest, barring a few northeastern states.

Yeah it's a pretty bad representation. Travelling to other countries from the USA is much more of an ordeal than in Europe, and some states are similar in size to or larger than European countries. If I counted states I think I'd be well over 22.

Let's see, I've been to:

 

Indiana

Illinois

Ohio

Michigan

Wisconsin

Minnesota

Kentucky

Tennessee

North Carolina

Virginia

Maryland

Pennsylvania

West Virginia

Georgia

Florida

Missouri

Iowa

Kansas

Oklahoma

Colorado

Arkansas

 

21/50.

Washington

Nevada

North-Holland

South-Holland

Utrecht

Gelderland

Overijssel

Noord-Brabant

All counties/Parishes in the lower 48 I've been through either via car or train. 

 

I've been to Victoria, British Columbia and several small towns in Alaska as well (took a cruise in HS)

 

Green are planned trips, dark red is my home counties.

 

The NOLA trip is a fresh add. 

 

The trip along California and Nevada was flying in and taking a rental, took AMTRAK in most of the Pac-NW trip and NE trip after flying in. The isolated counties were just flying in (Orlando, Tampa, Chicago, etc) Everywhere else has been hit via road trips.
