Looks like a lot of traveling huh (I think that's it)? Well all of that traveling and I've only crossed the equator once. I also have circled the globe on one trip traveling over 22,400 miles and the closest I got to the equator was about 300 or 400 miles. I have been inside the arctic circle twice.

Well, Natalie. First of all, the entirety of Europe is smaller than the United States. Traveling to one state here is roughly equivalent to traveling to another country there. I would love to travel more, but, don't have the money to get me to a different continent and have a train take me to every country.

As far as this continent, I have traveled around it quite a bit, but haven't seen even half of it. I have been to eighteen of the fifty states, Canada, the Bahamas, and Mexico several times. Mexico is only a couple hours and a few hundred dollars away, so we have gone there a few times.

The only additional country I have been to is Thailand. I would absolutely love to see more of the world and even live abroad (or go to school). The problem is having the money to do it. I can't leave school even for a few months or all of my loans will go into repayment. I have looked in to study abroad and the cost is about $25-$35,000 per semester almost anywhere. Such is life here!
