Where I’ve Been
The List So Far
This isn't a checklist — it's a collection of places that shaped how I see the world. Some were brief encounters, some were months or years — others became favorites I returned to again and again. Each one left a mark.
The 50 States Challenge
Did you know only about 10% of Americans have visited all 50 states? This low percentage is often due to lack of time, financial limitations, and priorities. Many travelers tend to navigate to popular destinations or specific regions rather than making every state a goal. My desire is to spend time in every state and every continent. With determination and planning, we can all be in this 10% exclusive club and enjoy and experience the diverse cultures and beautiful landscapes across the United States.
