Where have I been

A random conversation today made me curious about what countries I’ve visited in Europe. I got lost looking at maps and thought I might as well try to make a list.

Apparently 9 countries in the world:

  • United States 🇺🇸
  • Canada 🇨🇦
  • Mexico 🇲🇽
  • England 🇬🇧
  • France 🇫🇷
  • Germany 🇩🇪
  • Italy 🇮🇹
  • Greece 🇬🇷
  • Switzerland 🇨🇭

And 29 states:

  • Texas
  • Louisiana
  • Oklahoma
  • New Mexico
  • Arizona
  • California
  • Oregon
  • Washington
  • Idaho
  • Utah
  • Wyoming
  • Colorado
  • Mississippi
  • Alabama
  • Arkansas
  • Georgia
  • Florida
  • North Carolina
  • Virginia
  • Maryland
  • New Jersey
  • New York
  • Massachusetts
  • Vermont
  • Tennessee
  • Indiana
  • Illinois
  • Missouri
  • Alaska

Not counting cities I’ve just flown through without leaving the airport. Might’ve missed some, but still feels kind of low. As anyone who has followed my 30 days lists knows, I like collecting visits to places. Now a little inspired to finish seeing all 50 states.

How do you define visiting a state? Overnight stay? Obviously, you may be not counting driving through.

@pratik Not an exact science. I think if you spend actual time there seeing something, even if not overnight, it counts.

I've visited a place that no longer exists. However, this was long ago and I remember little to nothing about it. I do remember watching photos of the trip, but that's not the same as being there in person. So does it count if you need archival material to recall the experience? If so, you could just as well use Google Earth to travel to other places and save some expenses.
