I've been to all of them, including Alaska and Hawaii, except North Dakota and Nebraska, and hope to make those two eventually. I love to explore America in my RV, but my favorite is my home state of Georgia.

All 50! Took me until the past few years to get to Alaska, Hawaii and the Pacific Northwest. I can't say one or two impressed me most, but the vast range of climates and geography has been amazing.

I’ve been to 19 states. My goal is to eventually make it to all state and US territories. I do love a good road trip. Most of my travels have been on the east coast as far west as I’ve been is Missouri and as far north being New York. I have traveled outside the US several times though. My main bucket list is an Alaskan cruise and to take several excursions.

I've been to 38 of the 50 states.   The only state I have not been in East of the Mississippi River are New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine.  I would love to go there is the fall for the leaves changing color.  I also would love to get to the Northwest part of this country as well as Alaska.  That would leave New Mexico to complete my bucket list.

I have been lucky enough to travel to all 50 states!!!  I only counted it if I actually stayed in the state & did some activity there.  My favorites were Montana, CA,Alaska, NC SC. Wyoming CO, GA AL. Utah Washington state & Oregon.  I like the mountains more than beaches.  

 

I found something positive in every state, but some states are prettier than others.

 

the last state I went to was ND.  That is a flat state with few trees.   I did really enjoy the Theodore Roosevelt National Park.  The first state I went to was the state I was born in-OH.

 

another goal I have now is to go to all the National Parks.  So, I will get back to many of the States I admire.

We have been to all 50 states during the 46+ years we have been married.  A number of them we've been to multiple times.  There are always adventures to explore and new people to meet.  We are always thinking of ways to meet and visit other Jehovah's Witnesses as we're traveling.  They are all like family no matter where we go and we have made many lasting friendships.  Some of them have come to visit us in Kissimmee, Florida!!  Visiting our extended families is also one of the things we do as they're scattered from California to New York.  Our kids grew up traveling with us, they've started doing the same things with their own kids.  I guess we must have planted those seeds of traveling.

Hello Community 

I have been to 32 states plus DC & Canada & Mexico. I have lived in 5 states.

The 18 states I have not visited are all ones across top of US ...far north...I hope to one day visit the New England states in the Fall would be awesome. 

I loved Maui Hawaii and also Nigeria Falls I have enjoyed many things in all states been to. Also loved the Smithsonian in DC and Lincoln Memorial. 

I have only been to St Lucia outside of US was there when storm came didn't care much for area not like I loved Hawaii which I would love to revisit the other islands when whales come and see Pearl Harbor museum. 

I've dreamed of visiting Paris and the Pyramids 

I enjoy traveling and seeing & learning about new areas.

Wow!  This just made me think of all the states I haven't yet visited and desire to!!!  🙂  I've traveled and lived abroad so I have much catching up to do. 

 

Let's see.  I've been to 26 states and DC on vacations and for business, the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.  Still want to see Mt. Rushmore and Niagara Falls, then maybe Alaska and Hawaii after that.

 

I do love to travel.  Spent time going to school and living in the Middle East as a teen and young woman [Dad was with PanAm].  Traveled to other magical places in Europe and the Caribbean. I'm a Hungarian (Mom) and French/Italian (Dad) New Yorker and 1st generation born American [now a senior :)] and want to do more travelling.  I love air, ship, automobile and train travel.

I have been to 31 states (+Washington, D.C.) and the ones I'm missing are in the most northern middle section of the country.  I have lived in 8 of those states.  I've been in Florida about 30 years now and lived in 14 different places in 5 different cities.

All fifty of them!   That was our first major goal. 

Lol, it was fun being corrected by people after we said Alaska was our fiftieth state (“Oh no!  Hawaii is our 50th state.”).  We neglected to add “...50th state to visit.”

 

Our next goal was to set foot on every continent.  We accomplished that goal this past December.  

 

Now to see/touch the Arctic Ocean!
