My state map stands at 45%, and my country map has exactly one country on it. But I don’t have any desire to visit, say, the Dakotas.

I don’t have a burning desire to visit all 50 states, and I’m never going to have the resources to travel abroad to the extent that I’d like, so I’ll tick a few more off my list here and there (California and Oregon, when I freak out, leave work, hop a plane to San Diego, and drive the PCH up the coast, to give but one example of something I’ve been wanting to do for a while.

But Indiana wants me.

Baiting you into commenting? Ya think?

So where’s your map, Jason?

“Nothing wrong with avoiding Indiana.” You wouldn’t be trying to bait me into commenting, would you?

My U.S. map is fairly impressive (to me, at least, considering I only really started traveling in the last 3 or 4 years, notwithstanding a couplr road trips in college).

So stay out of Indiana if you like, but I don’t mind the place.

Louisville, especially in the spring, is great, and everybody needs to go to the Kentucky Derby at least once (though I haven’t yet, and won’t next year, due to a plan I have in the works for that weekend, which you already know about), if for no other reason than the ridiculous hats.

Hee. I think I would like them very much, actually, but they are apparently not on the highways I tend to travel. Silly of them.

Jamie, Idaho and Vermont called. They want to know why you hate them.

My world map is not bad, I guess–17 percent–but then again, there are whole continents I had to skip. And what’s with me having never visited Mexico? Silly.

But I’m with you: If I could go anywhere right now, it would be the U.K. Especially right before Christmas when the lights are up in Oxford Street and the Christmas trees are for sale on the corners. Ahhhhh.

My U.S. map is just ridiculous. Too much road-tripping!

A cottage on the west coast of Ireland? I’m there.

Poor Kentucky. It does look a little isolated there. It’s nothing personal, though. On the other hand, there’s nothing at all wrong with avoiding Indiana.

Are you allergic to Kentucky? It’s a sad grey island on your US map.

I hope there’s plenty of travel ahead in my future. Yours too. We should rent a cottage on the west coast of Ireland. I hear it’s very cheap.

Here are links to my country map and my state map. Looks like I’m allergic to West Virginia and Indiana.

Ooh, I didn’t even realize there was a visited states map.
Mine looks a lot better than the countries one, too.

I think you get to count the UK, btw. Northern Ireland is nothing to sneeze at.

And you’re just a whippersnapper—plenty of travel ahead in your future. Mine too, probably…someday.

My map is pitiful: visited 3 countries (1%). I guess technically I could have had four countries, but I thought checking the UK when I’ve only been to Northern Ireland would be a bit of a cheat.

My visited states map is better: visited 22 states (43%). I really wish I had travelled more. When I’ve had the time, I’ve not had the money (and vice versa). Sad.

Cool site.
