Where's everyone been? Where would you like to go (I know where someone wants to go)? Where will you never go for reasons you will explain? Answer whichever.
First if you're comfortable, say where you live. You don't need to say city or neighborhood development. State. Province. Region. Continents even. This gives everyone perspective, and who knows it might make YOU cool.
I live smack dab in the Midwest, Illinois exactly. I've been to Canada. Was an ok trip. The best part was Nova Scotia. I then went to the UK, very fun, very interesting, wish I went over to the continent. Then recently I went to Japan. One of the things in life I always wanted to do but figured was impossible. Japan is pretty different than what you might expect.

I live in Illinois too and I've been to Canada as well . I went with my class to Montreal and Toronto on a bus. It was a short trip, but tons of fun. Montreal was espicially epic... The Food blew my mind. Toronto was alright, but felt a bit too much like the US so the magic was kinda lost. I've also been on a cruise to Mexico, it was a lot of fun, I never really left the boat though, it had everything I needed (Pool, Food, Ice Cream, Friends). Been to Las Vegas, it was pretty boring cause I can't gamble. And other places MUCH closer to Illinois.
I definately want to go back to Quebec and spend a few weeks there. Need to go somewhere in France. And I ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY NEED TO GO TO JAPAN! Is it as amazing as I dream it is, Kempff? lol

........................... PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN MY STATE, OH MY GOD. This has never happened before. XD
So yea, I live in Illinois, up in the northern area. -nodnod- I've been to Missouri, Florida, Mississippi, and Arkansas. I was supposed to go to Texas this month, but those plans unfortunately fell through. That's where I want to visit the most, when I only count where I can realistically visit.
Other than that, I'd love to visit Japan. @@

Good ole Massachusetts. I live in Boxborough, Middlesex county. It's a small town that doesn't appear on most maps. My family travels a lot and consequentially I've been dragged along a lot.
I've been to dozens of states. Maybe all of them. Not sure.
I've been to London, hated it. XD
I've been to Amsterdam, but not outside the airport.
I've been to Italy, and there was a trip I enjoyed. First to Rome, then to Venice, then through the southern parts. Beautiful landscapes, everyone is happy and friendly, food is great. The cities are just the pinnacle of creative design.

State Neighbors! Yeahp that's right, I'm from the land of corn and ... corn, Indiana. I'm from the southern most western tip bordering Kentucky and Illinois at the same time.
I've been to Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and I think that's it. I might be going to Florida in a year and plan to go to school in New York City.
I would love to go to England, Iceland, France, India, Russia, China, Japan, Romania and Australia.

Well...I've never been anywhere special. =(
And Dusty, I was born in the land of corn and...corn. =D
Now Rin lives a boring little life in North Carolina. I really don't like it though. It gets too hot. 85˚F and above is too hot for me. That may be why I don't want to go to Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and downwards. xD
Being the lame person that I am...I've only been to Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, and...Nebraska. Lived there for a year, I did.
But I want to go to Greece, Japan, Italy, Romania, Germany, England, and other places...I want to go to Austraila but I am very, very scared...of deadly spiders...and lethal snakes...

Geeze, so many Illinoisans (fellow people from Illinois know how to pronounce that all I hope ;D).
I have to agree about the closer part of Canada next to the upper part of the US Cephas. You have to go higher up, and then it's just wood and mounties. If you ever go east, you must MUST go to Nova Scotia. Most beautiful land in the world. Wonderful coast.
For those who asked (Cephas), Japan is a great place to visit. You really, REALLY need someone who speaks the language and can help you get passes on the rails and into the nicer places to stay (such as traditional inns). The only place you imagine as Anime crazed are parts of Tokyo like Shibuya, Akibahara, and maybe Shinjuku. By the way, Akibahara is really REALLY small but packed full of everything you could possibly think to find. Including maid cafes. And other cafes. And then certain underground places (you know what I mean).
I envy you Konaa, Italy is another dream trip of mine. By the way Dusty, I have nothing against you for being a Hoosier. Just letting you know that I will call you Dusty Hoosier from now on. Unless you're a Boilermaker. Does this translate?
For you real young-uns, take study abroad trips if you can. Do it. You never know when you're chance to get out there is that option presented to you that you weakly "meh" to.
Oh god HABLAH...why do you want to visit Texas? Long family history there, been to Texas a lot. Wish I never had been. Go to New Mexico. Or Cali. Avoid the Longhorn state.

My best friend lives there. I have to visit her. D: Cali I do want to visit too, though. Just once, at least. But if things turn out the way I plan, I might end up moving there. @_@

Yesss visit Cali, doo eet! @.@
Hmm, I'm not really sure where I want to visit but one thing I know is that I do want to eventually go outta state, even if only on a trip. I've never been out of state. But, I'd probably want to visit Japan, somewhere in Europe and some other state than California.

From the Sweet Ol' State of Texas, is where I reign. Japan would be awesome or Italy but alas... Just a few weeks ago was in Germany.
