Costa Rica is the only one I really "count". I've been across the border of Canada (Niagara Falls) and Mexico (San Diego area). Also Puerto Rico if you want to count that but it doesn't really, haha. It's just not a state
Aside from the US, I have been to England, France (Cannes) and Germany (Berlin). I hope to add Scotland next year. All of these have been work trips. In the next couple years, I really want to do a just for fun international trip. But in the meantime it's been great to see these places for free!
I'm amazed at everyones travels! I haven't left the USA. I do have my passport though. I'm planning on a big 10th anniversary trip so we can use them before they expire. I still have a few years to save for that one!

We did most of our traveling in the US when I was younger. I've been to about half the states so far and want to go to more! I've seen quite a bit of the US but I want to see other countries! Wish we could afford it!

England, Scotland, Wales, Netherlands, France, Canada, Kenya, Tanzania. On cruises: St Thomas, St kitts, Grenada, US Virgin Islands. Do Bahamas and Puerto Rico count?
Next month on a cruise: Mexico, Cayman Islands, Jamaica.
I'm spoiled. All except the cruises have been traveling with my parents while growing up. Also my brother lives in London so that's why I've been to England a few times.

Mexico, Germany, and Aruba. We were actually in Aruba a couple weeks after Natalie Halloway disappeared...needless to say, my parents kept a very close eye on me. It was actually really strange because nobody there really talked about it and yet it was obviously such high publicity in the US at the time.
USA Canada (university) Aruba British Virgin Islands Iceland (layover, doesn't really count) UK (worked in London for a year) Ireland Sweden Denmark Norway (lived here most my life) Germany Netherlands France Spain Switzerland Italy Croatia Hungary Greece Turkey Bahrain Singapore (studied for a semester) Thailand Cambodia Laos Malaysia Indonesia China & Hong Kong
Only through cruises. Bermuda, Bahamas, St. Martine, St. Thomas, Haiti. I almost got to go to Trinidad to work, but thought DH was joking. Maybe next year.
Almost all of mine have been through cruises, too. Though Jamaica and Mexico (Cancun) were also vacations at resorts. Aruba, Jamaica, Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Barbados, Cayman Islands, Saint Martin, Republic of Kiribati, Mexico, Italy, Spain, France. US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, if they count.
The only time I've been out of the states was when we went to Grand Cayman for our honeymoon. Neither one of us is very good at making sure we take time out to travel. Hopefully in the next couple of years, we'll be going to Europe.
US, Canada, France, and England. France and England were in a school trip in grade 11. I want to travel more! We were going to go to Spain for our honeymoon, but went to New Orleans instead.
I feel like i'm cheating a bit, since living in Europe a lot of stuff is closer together than in the US...
Favorites though!
Best city: NYC - I'd happily go back every year
Best beach & culture combo: Thailand or Turkey
Most laid-back and relaxing experience: Laos. Beautiful country, and felt like going back in time
Most spectacular scenery: tough one! Tie between Lake Como in Italy, Montreux, Switzerland (though I would love to go to Zermatt, looks even more amazing) and Mt Kinabalu in Borneo.
