I have hit all inhabited continents at least once, excluding Antarctica.

I won't list them all, just the highlights:

-South America is of interest because of business prospects, so I have been and will be going back and forth from Brazil...I'm gonna have to go during carnival one time!!! Been in a couple other countries too, but just in passing, not long enough to call it an experience.

-Africa (NOT A COUNTRY!!! Don't refer to it as one, especially among the names of other properly named countries. It doesn't make you look good.)

With much of my family in Nigeria, it of course makes sense that I would visit there as often as possible. Tanzania is also beautiful, it possesses one of the most beautiful shorelines I have ever seen. Egypt, blah. Too many tourists, got quite annoyed. Morocco is great too, beautiful people, great leather goods, great food also.

-Asia, I have found memories of Hong Kong, and China especially because I completed part of my university studies there. Excellent food! Tokyo (Japan) was overrated, Indonesia is the shizzle... just soooo many islands, so little time, but also great food! India... yeeeah, there are some stories to tell, but for another thread though.

I had to cut the list down... it's a little long.

Lol, I've been nowhere out of the US. I lived in WA, CA, SC and been to all the big airports except NY... I think I wanna reside in N. California or S. Oregon when we buy a house.

Ok, here are mine :

Belgium > born and raised here (eeww)

Germany > Aachen (worked there), Dusseldorf (shopping is coooool)

The Netherlands > Maastricht (good for shopping), Sittard and Eindhoven (I used to have family there)

France > Paris (love it), Marseille (love it) and St Tropez (little village, nothing to see really)

England > London (I wish I could go back, I only stayed one week end)

Morocco > Oujda= that's where my family's from, I don't go back very often but now that my parents bought a house near the beach (Saidia) I think I'm gonna have to go spend some time and tan.

Egypt > Hurghada (loved the weather, the hotel, the food and all but too "touristic")

NYC > love it for ppl and shopping, I felt like home

Raleigh NC > went to visit some friends there, beautiful

Dallas TX > went to visit friends also, nothing interesting except the Southfork Ranch. Boring city. Strange ppl obsessed with money.

I wish I could go back to London, Paris and New York. Yeah, I love big towns.

And next time I go to Egypt, I'll be doing the Nile Cruise. My parents did it and loved it : all the temples and all.

My little brother stayed one month in Shanghai and let me tell you if you want to go shopping with a little money, that's where you have to go.

I think that's it.

Europe:

Croatia, Slowenia (on vacation)

Overall I think it´s kinda sad I haven´t been to many European countries!

When I went to Australia then this site http://freshnod.com/  is really informative for me and got their behaviors are really excellent. I will again love to visit Australia because of its beauty like as Sydney opera house, Sydney harbour bridge, bondi beach, darling harbour,  Australian Zoo, Kakadu national park, luna park, national gallery of Victoria etc.

OMG It's so cool to see where everyone has gone! 
It must feel awesome to go to all of these different places. I want to travel so badly when I'm done school!

The first time I went anywhere, it was Niagara Falls. I live in New York, so my Dad and his Gf's family, my sister, my grandparents and I stayed a weekend in Ontario!

Then in October, I went on my first ever plane ride! (17 years old, so you know how late the first ride was!!) I went to visit my dad's family in Kolkata, India! It was the greatest time of my life. I got to see my grandma and a whole lot of family that I haven't met in my life before then, or haven't seen since I was really young.

Now my mom promised to send me to London, England as my graduation gift this summer! I'm going to be her first daughter (out of three; I'm the youngest) to actually complete high school without just getting a GED. It's always been my dream to go to London, so I can't wait!!!! 

Do you guys have advice on how to travel to more places? I'm not going to lie, it seems expensive and intimidating. 

Oh! Not sure if this counts because I didn't actually explore the city, but on my flight to India, my father and I had a stop over in Dubai, so I walked around their huge, beautiful airport.
