Americas: Canada, Mexico, Belize, Honduras, Chile

Caribbean/Atlantic: the Dominican Republic, USVI, BVI, Netherlands Antilles, Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua and Anguilla, Bahamas, Bermuda

Europe: Ireland, UK (England, Scotland, Northern Ireland), France, Germany, Italy, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Hungary

And also: Turkey, Oman, South Africa

I may have missed a couple.

I've been quite lucky to travel, I haven't visited many cities in my home country of the UK as I stick around London mostly.

I have however travelled to many places in Europe such as - Ireland, France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Italy and even the Vatican.

I have also travelled outside of Europe to Mexico & Barbados

Quite interesting places.

I have never been out of Spain (not even in Portugal).

I have traveled Galicia intensively, and I have lived in Ferrol, Ares, A Coruña, and Madrid (Las Rozas).

I have been also in several cities in Spain (outside Galicia, obviously).

In 2022 I visited Norway for the first time, and it was so cool. I even tried to grab the opportunity for learning some Norwegian, and I started watching series in the language, like Ragnarok on Netflix. I am still just a beginner, but I am hoping to continue and to be able to visit Oslo and Bergen again, and next time to be able to speak a little in Norwegian.

US:
Tracking cities here is going to be too long...so states:
New York
Maryland
Pennsylvania
Washington, D.C. (okay, not a state, sue me)
Virginia
North Carolina
South Carolina
Tennessee
Georgia
Iowa
Alabama
Mississippi (driving through)
Louisiana
Florida
Texas
Oklahoma
Nevada
Arizona

I'd like to do a road trip through Europe one day. I feel like you get to know the character of a place better driving through than you do just flying in and seeing a few cities...


So I suppose I should update this. Also probably my log, I haven't posted in months, but I've been traveling a good bit since I posted this so:

US:
Puerto Rico
Colorado
Minnesota
Others I've been to before but not worth rehashing

International:
France - Paris again, twice
Mexico - Mexico City
Spain - Barcelona
Costa Rica - Liberia (and surrounding areas)
UK - Edinburgh, Scotland

I work for an airline so I have more opportunities to travel than most. Hoping to do a bunch of trips this year (and maybe post some recaps in my log for the trips above). Also FYI--there's a cool app called "Been" that I like for tracking places I've visited, highly recommend it (I'm not affiliated in any way and it's free).
