I'm an American and so far I've been to England, Scotland, Wales, Paris, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Switzerland<BR><BR>My parents, both Americans, have been to England & Germany. And my brother has been to France.<BR><BR>Of course it does take money to travel abroad, and there may be many Americans that are living paycheck to paycheck.

Hi Interrested, I think you'll find a pretty good assortment of international travelers on this site. As an American I've been to Canada, Mexico, Bahamas, Aruba, Jamaica, England, Ireland, France, and Italy. As you can see here most of us are die hards. It amazes me to see how many colorful places some of the others have been!

I am American and mostly dream about Europe through this website and other sources. I have been to Europe 3 times in the last 5 years - England, Italy and France. I got a late start traveling in life so I am trying to go every other year to a new country. It takes me that long to save for a new trip so I mostly dream.
<BR><BR>56 countries and counting !!!<BR><BR>Barry

Yikes, I have a lot of catching up to do! First trip overseas was as a foolish young girl - hitchhiked through Spain and Morrocco! Would shudder if my kids did that today. I have visited all the Canadian provinces and have visited many U.S. states including California, New Mexico, Florida, D.C., New York and more, Australia, Greece, Great Britain (twice), France (twice), Italy (twice), Portugal, and a European bus tour. My next trip hopefully will be to Spain!

I am both American and Suisse. I have lived in Zurich, Switzerland, Bludenz, Austria, Hamilton, Bermuda. I have pretty much covered most of Central Europe. I have not lived in Paris yet, but I am planning to. Still in the long stages of planning for China, but I will be in Japan in August and then Paris again this year.<BR><BR>After reading some of the other peoples posts I'd say you have been misinformed.

I do not know where you "heard" your information but it sounds bogus. I doubt you willbe able to get a good measurement of anything on this forum. If you want some completly unscientific input, almost every american I know or have known has been abroad at least once.
