I’m 45 and have been to 45 states. Makes me want to try to knock all 50 out before I turn 50 which appears doable.

For me, I love road trips and love America and I don’t have much interest in international travel. Only been to Mexico on my honeymoon. Just curious about others.

Not as many as I'd like. Maybe 25-30

I've been to 47 states, many for work when I used to travel. My international travel isn't very impressive either though.

Roughly 20, mostly when I was a kid. As an adult I've only been outside the South once.

I've never been to the Midwest or west of San Antonio

Most curious geographic fact about me: I've lived most of my life in MS or LA, but have never been to ARK

I’m not much of a road trip person, and being able to access Europe by plane as easily or close to as easily as many states makes going to them less appealing. I’m probably around 20-23 if I had to guess.

I'm at 39 states. Many were knocked out on trips to see all the MLB ballparks, of which I have 6 remaining.

Kansas is the only one of my remaining 11 states that's anywhere even close to where I live.

Alaska
Connecticut
Hawaii
Kansas
Maine
Michigan
Minnesota
New Hampshire
North Dakota
Oregon
Vermont

Been to all 50. Golfed on all 50. Still traveling this wonderful country of ours. Every state has it's own beauty.

Overseas travel to 5 of 7 continents, lacking only Africa and Australia. I recommend a few trips over there for an experience. Do try to visit non=typical areas of overseas countries.
