This is something i have wondered about people in the USA how often do they travel to other countries for hoildays or work or study


My self I Have travelled overseas for a number of reasons ie work, hoilday, shopping and study.

I have been to Australia (Travelled, worked and studyed )
Thailand (worked and now is my home for last few years)
Malaysia (studied)
Vietnam (worked and travelled )
Cambodia (travelled )
Singapore (travelled )
Taiwan (travelled)

Thats all for me

Lets see what others have this will be interesting?

If a Frenchman travels to Germany by train, is that “travel overseas”? What if an Frenchman travels to England by train, does this count as “travel overseas”? Or would it be underseas travel?

[Specop_007]

Yep.

Might be why I'm NOT so open minded anymore.

I've been to:

Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas (and other Carribean islands), Belize, Ecuador, England, Spain, France, Italy, Corsica, Sardinia, Hong Kong and China.

Seeing how other people live and experiencing foreign cultures is the only way to truly understand those people.

Raphael is right.

People in the United States who travel to Mexico only to stay in Club Med in Cancun haven't actually been to Mexico.

You need to actually visit the cultural sites of a nation, not just hang out on the beach for a week.

But of all the places I've been, none was as interesting as Hong Kong. Everything about that place was different than what I was used to. It was simply an incredible experience.

The term "abroad" is better than "overseas".

You get a false impression of any country if you only gauge it by the people you have met who are outside their own countries.

BTW, why is this poll so pro-american?

[smallpoxgirl]

Well....I've been to Canada. I guess that's not really "overseas". Maybe "over great-lakes"?

Honestly, I really don't have much desire to travel the globe. Seems to me that most Americans are so busy running around like headless chickens that they never spend the time to really learn and grow aquainted with any place.

I'd much rather spend the rest of my life in one small town getting to know the people and the land than to be jet setting to Malaysia this week and Tanzania the next.

[lateralus]

Been to my southern neighbours...the USA and Mexico. Lived in Australia for a few years and travelled New Zealand, Fiji, Borneo etc. Kind of interested in exploring every nook and cranny of Canada now, it's a big country and there's lots to see.

I was born in Spain and live currently in the UK.

I have visited quite a few countries in Europe: Portugal, France, Monaco, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Italy and the Vatican. Also been to the USA.
