How many times have you left your home country and where did you go?

I left the United States 3 times. I have gone to Canada, Australia, and  London. During each of my first 3 years of high school, I have gone to these locations for a week during Spring Break.

All of the places that I have been to were wonderful, and I hope to visit each of them again.

So where have you been?

I like how you say two country's then London, like it's a nation haha.
I had a thread like this when the travel forum existed.
Most people hadnt left the u.s
Iv been to Ireland, England(a lot), france X3, Spain X2, Belgium, Germany, Poland and Romania. I passed through the Netherlands but I never left the airport.

I've gone to the United States three times, England once, Spain once, and Ireland once.

I'm from Canada and I've only been to the States (Three Times). I really want to go to France though. I think that would be very cool. I would also like to go to Japan sometime. One of my friends is going there for a year soon.

Only been to Mexico hahah
hoping to visit more places soon, also would like a travel buddy so we can have fun together

I'm from Philippines and I've been in different countries since I used to always tag along with dad during his business trips (specially when I was still in high school). Aside from that, my family also spends vacation somewhere outside the country once in awhile. I've been to Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, China, London, Spain, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, Italy... hmm what else... lol, I can't remember all of it...

Juliet : WOW, you have been out of your country  A LOT. you must be so lucky, I would love to go to that many places. You must also be rich as well. VERY rich.

I've never left the country, but next year my family is going to go to Canada. We like it here in the USA.

Most of the places I've been to were through the military. Including short refueling stops, I've been to Ireland, Afghanistan, South Korea, Kuwait, Qatar and Germany. For vacationing I've been to Germany again and Mexico. I'm living in Washington state right now and have yet to cross into Canada, but I suppose when I stop putting off I can add that to the list.

Sadly, I've never had the opportunity to travel abroad. Hell, I've only left my own state just a few times!
I'm getting a pretty decent tax refund this year and I'm going to throw a lot of that money into my traveling savings. Dublin, Ireland tops the list of places I want to go, followed by Tokyo, Japan... Venice, Italy... Athens, Greece... Santiago, Chile... man, if I was rich, I would definitely be doing a lot more traveling! But I'm not the kind of guy who needs to stay in some kind of fancy hotel, rather, I'm fine with the Super 8 as long as there's a place to sleep at night that isn't crawling with roaches. I'd rather spend less money on the hotel and more money on the adventures!

Oh how I wish I could leave the U.S and visit other countries. I never really had the chance to do it... but! I might be able to do it next year, I would go to Germany. I'm not really sure what to expect once I am there. I take German classes but, like, what is it like? leaving your country? Wish me luck for when that time comes!

zanderlex : I'm in a pretty small country, lol, so it's always been easy to visit different countries. Hong Kong is just like an hour away, the tickets are affordable as well even for students like me (yeah, I usually go there with friends). As for the China, Japan and UK trips though, I really need dad to buy me tickets, process Visa and take care of "show moneys". I think China now requires us to have 100,000 Philippine peso in bank account per visitor Visa.

I have left my country the UK 10 times so far. 7 times I have been to Spain. I have also been to Cyprus,Turkey and France. They are 3 countries you should check out at least once especially France with the famous Eiffel Tower.

zanderlex :

Sweet, where in Canada did you go? The country is huge and the culture and landscape varies a lot depending on where in the country you are.

I have not been to Australia but I do plan to go there one day, as well as New Zealand. Those seem to be countries that have a lot to offer. I also have got to see a kangaroo at some point in my life.

I think its funny that you mentioned 2 huge countries in Canada and Australia and then mention a city in the tiny UK. Regardless of the size, London has a lot of history and would be an interesting (and expensive) place to visit.

Only left the country once, and that was just less than 2 years ago. I went to Costa Rica as a honeymoon trip. Stayed there for a week. Had an absolute blast.

My wife and I really want to go to Ireland someday.

bobq : As for Canada, I had gone on one long trip. It started in Toronto and ended in Yellowknife.

Wow, that must have been an incredible trip. Im sure it was very urban in Toronto and as you traveled out of the city, you passed through the suburbs into the more rural areas. Northern Ontario is a beautiful place to visit. Did you happen to check out Hudsons Bay or James Bay? Ive heard that fishing there is incredible and its a very peaceful place. Just dont go there in the winter time or it will be freezing, snowy and isolated.

Yellowknife is the capital of North West Territories, which is a very large landmass. My question for you is, which provinces did you travel through? I would assume that you went from Toronto through Northern Ontario to Manitoba and perhaps through Northern Saskatchewan to North West Territories?

I am assuming that you drove.

I recommend you check out the atlantic provinces in the summer time, they are beautiful and peaceful (except when there is a storm or a lot of wind).

BC and Alberta have places where you can ski and snowboard all year round, so perhaps those are two other provinces you might want to visit if you decide to travel through Canada again. Isnt Canada such a beautiful country? You need to explore it more.

I have been to the U.S.A. About five times. I went to L.A. Once and Orlando four times (I love roller coasters). I've also been the Dominican Republic twice, Cuba once (I was one when we went, so I don't really remember the trip), Serbia four times, France (Paris only) twice, and Barcelona once. I plan on visiting Iceland this summer, too.

I've never left the United States before but I have been to different states within the United States. If I could leave and visit another country for a while, I would leave and go on a trip to Japan. I would go to Japan because of the Anime and gaming culture there. 

Sadly, I have been stuck in the United States for my entire life. I have barely even left my state, and have only left primarily to visit my family, so I did not really explore the other states at all (not that there's anything particularly special about them). If I were to travel somewhere, I would go to Japan, probably go to Tokyo, and then, specifically, to Akihabara. I would probably also go to Okinawa. Other than that I'd want to travel to Dublin, Ireland. However, the odds are that I probably won't get to go anywhere for a long time...
