Where I've BeenAs a person that loves lists, this has got to be my ultimate. A list of all of the wonderful places I have been to, along with how long I have spent there in total. I may be a tad OCD…

This list reminds me of the epic journey I have taken in the past twenty years since I started traveling, and it gets me excited about what the future holds, travel-wise, as well.

It isn’t my desire to visit every country in the world, but there are still so many places I want to experience and many more that I will return to.

As of February 2024, I have been to 68 countries (87 for the Traveler’s Century Club), including 7 Canadian Provinces, 47 US States, and 44 out of 63 US National Parks.

It’s definitely been an adventure so far!

Map of the World

So there you have it folks. Some places I have only spent a short amount of time in and others I have been back to multiple times.

As I have only been blogging about my travels since 2014, there are a lot of places on this list that I haven’t written about. If you would like to know about my experiences in any of these destinations, please contact me and I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

I also wrote this massive post outlining all of my travels chronologically over the past 18 years including the jobs I did to sustain this crazy lifestyle of mine.

Happy travels!

  1. Tell me about Egypt! I lived there for 3 months and taught English, and I’m always curious what other people think of it, especially foreign women. I loved it, but it was a relationship that took time to grow…

    • Hi Jesse, I only spent 16 days in Egypt and I was on a tour as I wasn’t comfortable travelling there by myself. I was shocked by the pollution but loved visiting the ancient sites and diving in Dahab. I did struggle a bit with the constant hassles from Egyptian men, especially in Luxor, but I didn’t have any scary or overly aggressive experiences
