Have you been out of the country?

    Yep. I think I've been to 25-ish countries on three continents (North America, Europe, Asia).

    I'm not living in the US so yes. Actually have been to lots of countries though...

    Yep! every continent except Australia and Antarctica so far (though, not to the middle of the Eurasian continent: I've been to Western Europe and Eastern/Southeastern Asia, but not in between, like Eastern Europe, Russia, the Middle East, India, etc)

    No, I sadly not well-traveled. I just got my passport last November.

    Hopefully that will change this year. We'd at least like to visit a friend in Canada, since we're relatively close. And tentatively planning for a trip to Belgium this fall.

    yup. I've been to every continent except Australia and Antartica. Australia I expect to be crossed of the list next year. I WILL go to Antartica one day, but it's like likely to be any time soon.

    @PurplePumps: I have travelled with them before and they're awesome! Small group travel, local guides, really great itineraries, and just a great company. They focus on the more authentic travel experience rather than a sightseeing trip, which is my preference. I also met DH on a G Adventures trip to China so I have a soft spot for them

    @loavore_mama: It is group travel but considering you need to take a ship to get there, I don't think there's any way to get around it, short of being a scientific researcher.....or a Royal on a charity mission (ie Prince Harry just recently!)

    @looch: it's actually only four days in Antarctica, the rest of the time is either in Ushuaia or en route to Antarctica whilst crossing the Drake Passage! I'm with you though, I'd love to see a good chunk of South America on the same trip!

    Ok, enough of me planning an Antarctica trip! I'm a bit obsessed with travel - is it obvious?!

    I know a ton of people who use G adventures and only heard great things!! It's for more 'independent' travelers- ie they have days with no plans so you can do your thing. Sort of a group tour for backpackers

    Yes, I used to live in another country and traveled a lot. Every month! Those were the days. We never quite pulled the trigger on our Antarctica trip. We talked about doing it a lot, though.

    I have been to over 20 countries on five continents. (I have not been to Australia or Antarctica.)

    I made a point of traveling a lot in my late 20s and early 30s. Some of my favorite trips include Peru, Japan, Guatemala, and Zimbabwe. Skiing in Austria was pretty amazing too

    Now that we are having a baby, I expect to stay local for awhile and maybe spend vacation time at rental houses or some such. I know I could take my baby on a long haul flight but it seems like a lot of hassle and I don't think it's worth the cost and effort.

    Yay, travel!

    For a while it seemed like I was spending more time abroad than at home. I studied abroad in England my junior year of college, then went back for another year for grad school.

    After a few years of being back in the states, I got the travel bug again and joined the Peace Corps, and spent almost 2.5 years living in a podunk town in Kenya. Hardest and best thing I ever did. For short term trips, I've been to southern and west Africa, and Peru, which I LOVED.

    I have been to England, France, and Mexico. DH has never been outside of the US, and he is 30. We are hoping to remedy that later this year with a trip to Italy.

    I've been to Canada, Mexico, Europe, and the Caribbean. I'd love to go back to Europe soon - it's been a while.

    Yes. I'm an American living abroad. I was also raised in a border town, so we'd often party in Mexico when I was a teen.

    Yes. Living in Asia has fortunately given me loads of great travel opportunities outside the US. I had hopped to visit 30 different countries by the time I turned 30 (in 2013) but didn't quite make it due to having a toddler, getting pregnant again, and revisiting some favorite vacation spots.

    International travel is fantastic, but I'm looking forward to being back in the US one day with my kids and checking out all the national parks. I've definitely missed out on exploring my own country to some degree and would like to fix that
