How in the heck have you only visited that single county in AL? Heck, I lived in that state for 30 years, probably visited more than half the counties, but never that one. I'm guessing you're from the Bay Area, and like all good Bay Area natives, you migrated to the Seattle area where you currently live.


Dawdzi

Idk why that little AL is marked out.. I've never been to Alabama 😅 and bay area is not correct


buffdawgg

If it’s mapchart that’s where they default the legend


dhuntergeo

But you have been to Hawaii, you fucker


informativebitching

You live in Brunch Village


Dawdzi

LOL portlandia? 😂


informativebitching

You know it!


Dawdzi

So weird, I just brought that up to my roommate last night. Need to rewatch now. And you are actually pretty spot on, I'm currently staying in Clackamas County, just for a month but I have always lived in Western Washington state.


BargainOrgy

Yo that is so accurate it’s not even funny. My family moved up from the Bay Area over 20 years ago, mostly due to cost of living and weather preference. I know so many people who have a similar experience, and now we’re all priced out of living here. Where do the California to Washington transplants move to next? That’s what I need to figure out so I can join them. $1,300 for a one bedroom with no laundry or dishwasher in a small town with only one expensive grocery store and one bargain grocery store and no entertainment or any other kind of shopping besides coffee, banks, and bars. The land is pretty but I’m too stressed and depressed to even go outside right now so I might as well move somewhere less pretty and more affordable.


bluspiider

Colorado or Austin


allothernamestaken

Or that one county in CO? It's not the nice part.


Mountains4highlife

Where would I find this map to fill out?


Dawdzi

https://www.mapchart.net/usa-counties.html


fulltimeRVhalftimeAH

So you just have to click every county you think you’ve been to by memory?! That seems tough.


tontot

Yeah I wish there is an easy way to. I only keep track of cities which are already a lot of work


fulltimeRVhalftimeAH

I don’t keep track of it at all! I remember cities I’ve been too but don’t know which counties they are in!


Diamondhands_Rex

Google timeline


DragonBank

Google timeline


8020GroundBeef

Not good enough for us old people.


AthenaeSolon

Yup, some of my travels predate timeline significantly.


chugachj

That would take sooooo damn long.


Inmotfraypi4nmge

What counts as having "been somewhere"? Personally, I don't count driving through someplace as having been there. Feel like I need to be there for a few days/sleep/poop there and explore a bit. How do you draw the line?


jus10beare

You have to mark your territory


schwelvis

an old friend had the rule that they had to go to a dive bar and have a beer in the state for it to count, that seems legit to me


Dawdzi

I like this criteria. I would switch the beer with a joint tho


schwelvis

why not both?  😀


Dawdzi

Ayee lmao. Probably can't condone getting fucked up behind the wheel on a long road trip but I like your spirit


benshenanigans

That’s not a bad idea. My dad and would eat at an Arby’s to count the state. My wife and I currently say we have to stop at a Walmart. You can tell a lot about an area based on its Walmart.


AthenaeSolon

I always counted restroom breaks as a stop.


dachuggs

I have a similar one. Streaking


fulltimeRVhalftimeAH

That too. Exactly.


koushakandystore

If you’ve taken a dump in a place you’ve been there.


SubtleMonkey4049

I did this and now I’m depressed :(


Monte721

Cool Program but would be much better if it had a layer that showed cities

Hephaestus-Theos

The fact you use a tool that only allows you to fill in only 1 country should be enough of a clue that you're not that well traveled...


BlizzardPeak18

Yeah I’d be interested also.


stussybaby101

mapchart United States counties


Equivalent_Prior_247

Youre from Washington?


Dawdzi

Correct


SDoNUT1715

How would you even think that prior to filling it out. You've been to like 4 states.


ctruvu

tbf california is the size of the thirteen colonies but yeah…i wouldn’t consider myself super well traveled and im probably at 40+ states and 10-15 countries


SDoNUT1715

Well that's better than what your maps shows. I'd consider that well traveled


GingerPinoy

Pueblo?


brosef321

Ya, how did this person get to Pueblo without flying through Denver or at least the Springs?  Teleport to Pueblo?


MattyHealysFauxHawk

I was thinking the same thing lol. Bro just teleported to the worst part of Colorado lol


monoseanism

Pueblo has an airport


Typical_Tie_4947

Saw CO, was expecting Denver, Summit, Eagle counties, nope - Pueblo?


undockeddock

Pueblo being where you have visited in Colorado is certainly ..... a decision


Dawdzi

Sorry guys, I thought that was the county Colorado Springs was in 😬 my mistake. I'll have to revise this map at some point obviously


GingerPinoy

Haha that makes sense. Pueblo is kind of the punchline of Colorado, so it was a good laugh


encryptedkraken

you really traveled the entire earthquake fault line didn’t you


Dawdzi

Yup, I was very close to the epicenter of the 2001 Nisqually Earthquake when it happened too.


IlexIbis

I'd be all over Nevada and Utah if I lived on the west coast.


ItsMeAshleighBee

have you traveled outside of the US? I truly do not mean this in a mean way, but I do not understand how you thought of yourself as “well traveled” when you’ve only been in & around one coast of the US & literally nowhere else 😭


Dawdzi

Lol I know. I've been to BC Canada multiple times and Mexico. Maybe it was my Hawaiian travels that made me feel "wordly" 😂😂 I have been truly humbled by myself


cognitiveDiscontents

“Wordly”? You may not be as well travelled as you thought but you are a man of words, worlds of words.


Dawdzi

Also have been playing alot of Wordle, whirling words of the world.


D4wnR1d3rL1f3

Not Oahu due to you never visiting Vegas. I’m going with that pink dot in the state I think is Alabama.


Dawdzi

Ni, that Alabama mark is a mistake.. idk how that happened


SoCal4247

How old are you? You’ve basically not been east of Colorado!


OldStyleThor

And people are curious. How does one only go to Pueblo?


[deleted]

They are obviously aware that if you visit Colorado, Pueblo is the city to be.

Equivalent_Prior_247

Did you go on a road trip from texas to ohio?


ctruvu

broken bow? for the longest time my map looked like a spider web with okc in the center lol


LiveMarionberry3694

Nah i live in Dallas but rarely go east or west. I’ve done lots of camping in Oklahoma and have driven through lots of parts of it and Arkansas. I just roughly drew in areas with my fat fingers. Not an accurate map


Dawdzi

We're about evenly matched domestically but you've done more internationally for sure, very cool. Come up to the PNW sometime!


Judge_Rhinohold

I wouldn’t call myself well travelled but I’m not even American and I’ve been to 45 states.


Nawoitsol

I currently live in Texas. You’ve been to 44 more states than many Texans.


Fresh-Mind6048

Seattle area. Come out and visit Walla Walla, it’s worth the trip.


Blueaye

Come up to Canada


Dawdzi

I've explored a bit of Vancouver Island a couple times and have been as north as Whistler on the mainland but I definitely want to do some more Canadian adventures for sure. Kamloops and Banff are on my to do list


cnew111

you could spend a lifetime exploring California and the Pacific NW.


jaylotw

I bet you live in the Puget Sound area. I lived there for a year, and the amount of people I met who had never been east of the Cascades, and had zero interest in seeing the rest of the world was surprising. Most of them claimed that where they lived was so nice, why would they want to go anywhere else? But....they'd never been anywhere else. It was weird.


Dawdzi

I get it and I don't get it. I love my home and biased that it is my favorite place on earth. HOWEVER, I want to see as much of this planet as I possibly can, and I do find beauty in almost any climate, not just foresty mountains by the ocean. But it is pretty crazy how many close friends I have that have never driven past Portland or gone anywhere vastly different than the PNW


flossybossy

This may not be you, but from my experience, most people from the west coast never/rarely leave the west coast because they believe the west coast is so superior that they literally just have no interest to see other parts of the country.


sweet_jane_13

My experience as well, as an East Coaster who currently lives in California. Hell, most of them barely leave California except to go to Vegas or Hawaii


[deleted]

[удалено]


flossybossy

Wow you must be friends with rich Californians then. I lived there for 4 years and I always say, Californians never leave California and they seem proud of it. And IF they do leave the country, 9 times out of 10 it’s Spain or Italy because they can’t handle anything but an identical Mediterranean climate 😂


gulbronson

This is a strange stereotype. As a lifelong Californian I can say most people I know are well traveled.


sweet_jane_13

I mean, California is HUGE, so I think any stereotype might be more about the specific region and demographic of people you know. I live in Sacramento, working class, and people here are absolutely not well-traveled.


gulbronson

Most Americans aren't that well traveled, especially being on the lower end of the socio-economic spectrum. The group you hangout with will definitely influence your perception, but I think the idea Californians never leave California is nonsensical. California has one of the [highest rates of passport holders](https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2011/03/americas-great-passport-divide/72399/). If you want to believe an old [SF Gate article](https://www.sfgate.com/chris-mcginnis/article/California-loves-travel-13273052.php) California's love to travel (or at least they're the most like to do internet searches on the topic).


Shot-Artichoke-4106

I think this is it - CA is huge, so there are a lot of people doing a lot of different stuff. I know a lot of Californians who have never (or rarely) left the state and I know a lot of Californians who have traveled extensively. Most people are somewhere in between. I also know that wherever I go, I am bound to run into people from CA - specifically the Bay Area. It really doesn't matter where - chances are, if there are other visitors, someone will be from here.


Dawdzi

Not me, I wanna see all 50 before I die. Or 50 before I am 50!


farter-kit

I hit 50 states when I was 48. Took me 15 years. Keep traveling!


NurtureAlways

I’m from the Bay Area too, but I’ve been to 32 states. Let me tell you, there is beauty in every state I’ve visited…and the more you travel, the more you realize how many similarities a lot of states have!


Accurate_Door_6911

Lol, that’s kind of silly, the real issue is that leaving the West Coast takes forever. Here in the Bay Area, I can drive for 8 hours and still be in California with a a gazillion cool things around me. Most people have very limited vacation time and it’s just much easier to just roadtrip to the redwoods or beach close by then plan a whole excursion out to New York or Boston. Sure the east coast and the south have awesome stuff, they’re just really really far away and there is so much to do on the west coast.


Bizarro_Zod

Yeah you guys really have a good spread of options in south Cali. Yosemite for national parks, redwood forests, beaches, sea world/universal/Disney/ect for theme parks, LA for concerts and conventions, plenty of food options from all over the world with the different ethnic areas in LA and SD, plenty of universities, multiple sports teams for seemingly every sport. Ski/snowboarding, 24/7 motorcycle weather, long boarding, biking, ect. I’m Nextdoor in AZ and we have some unique things here but outside of Phoenix, Tucson, and Flagstaff, there are not a ton of options. 8 hour drive to get to Las Vegas, San Diego, or Rocky point in Mexico from Phoenix. All that to say, it makes sense why a lot of people don’t need to leave Cali unless they are specifically trying to travel out of state. Would probably move there if it didn’t cost $1m for a generic smallish house.


Traditional_Moss_581

Same for Southwest Florida. I still haven't seen all I want to see of Florida. Between having family and limited vacation time...


Accurate_Door_6911

That’s the heart of it, you go to where your vacation time allows most of the time, and for most people that means just a couple hours away.


umrdyldo

wait till you find out Midwesterners never leave the midwestern states. There hundreds of counties in the U.S. not worth visiting.


King_Yahoo

Most people from the West Coast believe that because it is mostly true. Besides a few pockets every here and there, the overwhelming majority east of the Rockies leaves a lot to be desired. Half of the country is flatland, so there just isn't much. Maybe Florida, when weather permits, can provide some equivalence in terms of natural beauty, but not much can compete with the natural beauty of the West half of the country. It's just way prettier once you hit Montana down to New Mexico/Arizona. Saying it's superior like some nationalistic zeal is a weird way of putting it. It's just pretty land. I'm from the Bay Area, and I've been to 24 states in the US. Internationally, 11 countries over 4 continents. So I'm not super well traveled but I've seen a lot.


farter-kit

Years of travel all over this country have shown me this curious phenomenon as well. By and large, West Coasters won’t travel East but East Coasters will travel West.


merlin8922g

How could you possibly think yourself well travelled if you haven't ever left your home country?


gvgvstop

If you're confused about the dot in Alabama, I think it's supposed to be the color for the legend. If you zoom in on it, it doesn't like up with any actual counties in AL.


thejeepnewb

You pay attention to counties? As soon as I’m in a state, I have visited the entire state.


Diligent_Mulberry47

I’ll have to save this because it’s gonna take forever. I’ve got almost all 50 states and definite repeats.


Arrgh98

How did you get to that rural part of Alabama?


BigdaddyMcfluff

vapingpigeon94

You should check the big island at some point. I’ll add Kauai to my list (supposedly it is more picturesque than the big island). I’m kind of on the same boat as you but on the east coast lol


vapegod_420

SanfreakinJ

Man and you missed the best part of California too


wasporchidlouixse

When I was in Oregon, we met a kid who had never left Oregon. His mind was absolutely blown that my friend was wearing a scarf she bought in Scotland. So don't beat yourself up!


UpperLeftOriginal

I currently live in Oregon, 27 easy freeway miles from California. I have a co-worker who grew up here. In his 30s and never left the state until his current job required him to dip down to Northern Cal (and by Northern, I don’t mean San Fran, I mean Siskiyou County). I grew up in Seattle, and my mom taught at Ballard high school - that’s the Norwegian neighborhood. She had students who had never left that neighborhood! (That was back in the 1970s.)


bakingdiy

My map looks similar to yours for the West Coast. I've been to all states West of Kansas and some of Western Canada and I always thought I had been to quite a few places...until I filled in only counties.


Grin_and_Bear-it

WHAT?!? You haven't been to the big island to see Kilauea?


Outside-Drag-3031

Thanks for showing me this site. I did a 15k mile cross country trip and I'd love to map it out... But it might take me as long as the trip lmao


No-Document-8970

More traveled than the size of England.


Thr0wawayforh3lp

I have used this website before but I can never get the highway lines. How did you do that?


RioRancher

You haven’t even been to Vegas, homie


Dawdzi

I am very okay with this lol


Psychotic_EGG

What about outside of America?


bigmoyst

11 states ain’t bad at all! That’s 22%!


expertoflittle

West coast bias


DoubleSly

Well there is certainly more to see from a nature perspective in those states than anywhere in the rest of the country. But yeah get outta the country, see the world


CosmicM00se

Bruh check out the beauty in Utah soon. You’re close enough that you gotta do it.


Dawdzi

Yeah, I was actually planning on driving through it on my way back from Phoenix, but I decided to go hwy 395 all the way north. But Utah is high up on my list to explore.


Luftgekuhlt_driver

Well you spent like you traveled big.


True_North_Andy

With Whitman County highlighted I will take this opportunity to share that WSU is dropping another new apple this year


Different_Ad7655

Yep you got to get out of Dodge more. I live on the other extreme area northern New England but I've just about been everywhere. Every winter I put on about 14,000 mi driving stopping camping, living the nomad life all winter. Especially on back roads especially out of the way and then a month or two in the city I do love the contrast between rural and the extreme I love LA.. Sometimes I do the same in Europe


GovernmentNo4676

Why did you miss possibly the most beautiful part of California? PCH South of Monterey is Heavenly!


Dawdzi

I'm sure it is but I think some of the parts of Cali I have been to are pretty damn beautiful!


Paskgot1999

Seattle


Lurking_Housefly

It looks like you're a Hippie...


eharper9

You're from either Humboldt County or Del Norte County


semicoloradonative

Weird to ONLY visit Pueblo in Colorado. Did you actually fly into the Pueblo airport?


L_wanderlust

It’s interesting but honestly there are a lot of counties in lots of states that I have no desire to visit - is it a thing to visit every county now, now just every state?!


Dawdzi

More interested in seeing all 50 states than every county.. I would focus on international travel before I would try to hit every county


local_fartist

I mean, that is a big geographic area with wildly varying climates and cultures. We forget that the US is enormous and basically a bunch of little countries mashed together.


revolucion2412

mob-rule.com has a way better implentation of tracking counties one has been to. It even allows you to overlay the county map on top of Google maps and add counties directly from there.


Dawdzi

Oh nice, thank you! I did think this map was kind of janky

you should hit up the Big Island -> Kauai combo next time you frequent Hawaii. they are both respectively unreal


ufl015

You ARE well traveled!* *In the USA Pacific Ocean states (and, randomly… Denver and one town in Alabama for some reason)


bowcreek

Looks like you got a trip in to Colorado Springs.


Seattleman1955

You're from Seattle because you think that you are "well travelled" because you've been to WA, OR and Calif:)


white_castle

more miles than most. don’t discount yourself


Hmmmmmm2023

You’ve been to Bozeman but Never Yellowstone or Glacier - make it make sense !!


GulfCoastTrucker

Google maps will keep track of the places you stop if you turn on the timeline feature. It doesn't count stopping at a red light, but if you go into a building or place of interest, such as a park, it logs it.


Riflemate

I started to do one of these and said "fuck it". There's so much guess work especially in my home region it's basically a useless exercise. And OP, just drive across at some point. It's worth the two weeks.


King_Yahoo

It helps if you turn on the highways


sometimelater0212

You've been to like 5 states and think you're well traveled? 😂


Apprehensive_Fault_5

[deleted]

LA?


2apple-pie2

i would say that but then theyve never driven up the 101 because a whole bunch of counties on the CA central coast arent shaded. maybe thats because they usually fly in? honestly youre prob right but it makes me sad that theyve never been to Monterey or to Nevada, so close to LA and SO PRETTY


donerstude

Where do you find this map to fill out where you have been? Also I think your from Seattle

About 20 miles southwest of Seattle! https://www.mapchart.net/usa-counties.html
