I live in Canada and I've only traveled to two countries, Italy and the USA in that order. I was born in Canada and I've lived here my whole life and have no intent to leave. Ethnically, I am half Italian. I went to Italy three times, once in 1997, once in 2001 and once in 2007. Each time, we stayed in Calabria, in a town called Bovalino at my Nonno's house. I went to Los Angeles in this past October to see an Eros Ramazzotti concert at the Greek Theater.
 
Born, educated and worked in New Zealand, and without visiting any other country when living there. Have motorcycled the length and breadth of both main islands though.

Lived and worked in Thailand a total of 15 years in three stints, during which time I have visited:

Laos - twice, about 10 days each time
Burma - 2 one day return trip visa runs, staying most of a day each time
Malaysia - several times, several days to a couple of weeks
Singapore - a few 2 - 3 day stopovers years ago)
Cambodia- a day and a few hundred metres on land also claimed by Thailand
Australia - about 8 days to do some research

Lived and worked seasonally in England alternating with New Zealand for about 8 years. I usually went motorcycle touring during July, a quite month for work. Visited:

Ireland - twice; I have dual Irish and NZ nationality
Wales
Scotland
France
Belgium
Luxembourg
Holland
Germany
Switzerland
Litchensutein
Austria
Italy

Lived and worked in Japan for two years; Tokyo for 8 dreadful months and Tokushima for 16 great months. Had one short trip to Thailand in that time.
 
yay active duty and family connections and diversity.

i have not been to antartica or australia or new zealand. i've been in the arctic circle, but not to the north pole. there are a few islands in the extreme south pacific that i've not been on, but have flow over.

everything else has been awesome and i'd go back. :)

i truly feel sorry for people who have not had the experience of travel and seeing other places/people.

if you go, eat anything that won't eat you first, and try everything else. amazing planet we live on.

EDIT; if you go nowhere else, you really should see iceland once in a lifetime. epic.

great !!!
