Done a fair bit of travel in my time. I've covered 49 of the 50 states, Hawaii being the only exception. I've been to Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, Finland, UK, France, Spain and Austria as well as Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

Egypt is next on the itinerary. Then we'll probably work a bit on South America.

Hey Shane,

I've done my fair share of travelling & I think doing the Trans -Siberian would be awesome. I was in Moscow a year or two back and it was, ermm, interesting!

Next up - Madrid in July.

Very cool stories so far :P

I haven't travelled a whole lot. I've been to several Carribean countries and about 15 US states. 2 friends and I are hitting Europe next summer. We plan to see Germany, Austria, Italy, Poland + Czech Republic at least. Can't wait

I grew up in California and now live in Nevada....

Back when I was a teenager I used to go to Off Road Races and go to Mexico with my uncle and his friends.

When I was 20/21 I traveled to and lived in South Africa for a year. We had an 8 hour lay over in Holland and I got to ride the canals while there.

When I was 24 I went to Canada to attend a World's Fair.

When I was 27 I hitched hiked around the United States for 3 months from the West Coast were I lived all the way to New York, Florida and through the midwest. Along the way I hiked the Grand Canyon, Stayed a week in Ohio, and went and found Axl Rose's home town in Indiana (I was majorly obsessed with the man at the time, being that Appatite had just come out and GnR went from a band I followed around the Hollywood Bar scene to a huge arena band). Except for Florida I avoided the South being told they don't take too highly to hitchikers through those states.

When I was 29 I moved to Hawaii and lived there for 6 years!

Throughout my 20s, 30s and now into my 40s I've been to several different states: Arizona, Texas, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Alabama and of course I've been to our capital Washington DC.

My soon to be fiance and I would love to travel Europe together. We are saving our pennies to make that dream come true.
