slo’s TUESDAY 5/20 poll - Below Average, Average or Above Average (Traveling)

[fly girl]

Above average, 20. Yet to visit Australia, South America, and Middle East. (if I am honest, no desire for Middle East)

 

[disney212]

I'm below average. Weird as I've been to over 2 dozen countries. I lived on the French border for years, went to Paris for a meeting once then back home. I'm not big on tourist spots.

16… working on a trip to Petra in the next couple years, and maybe hit 20 sooner or later.

 

[clappyclaps]

I'm on 15, and while I'd like to visit some of those I haven't seen yet, it's unlikely any time soon if I keep going to Disney instead!

 

[amcnj]

Ha! Finally something where I rate “above average”!!!

 

[tvguy]

6 currently. After by trip to New York in the fall it will be 8. Although to be honest, not sure there are many things on that list I even care to see. I finally went to the Grand Canyon 2 years ago.......and Yosemite last year. And I have lived 150 miles from Yosemite for 68 years. My kids went on school trips. I just never made it until last year.

7. It helps that I’m from NY or else my score would be very low.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I consider myself below average when it comes to traveling because I don't travel much, but I have been to London and New York. I didn't see the Empire State building, though. Did go to the top of the World Trade Center. My nephew wants to have a big family trip to London for his 40th birthday in 2028, and I would dearly love to go back. I thought London was the greatest city in the world.

 

[The Mayor]

15 so I guess I'm above average. A lot of the places I visited like the Great Wall, Taj Mahal, Buckingham Palace, were on business trips that I got there early or extended by a couple days,

 

[Turn the Page]

Above average. The list is very heavy on NYC and state!

I was just going to say something similar!!! I'm not sure that list is representative of being well travelled. Four are in or near Paris, 5 in NYC, 3 in London, and 2 in Rome. If you went to NYC or Paris for anything other than catching a connection at the airport you likely saw most of those sites.

 

[LoveDaisy]

8 for me but clearly I need to get out of the US more.

 

[BrianL]

I'm at 6, unless you want to count places that I have been "at" but not really "to." Like, I have walked by the Empire State Building, but never went up in it. I was in Tokyo and had some nice views of Mount Fuji, but I didn't climb it or anything.

 

[PrincessShmoo]

After looking at the picture below, are you below average, average or above average?

Way above average - 16 places.

 

[Praying Colonel]

I noticed you could knock out 8 of those on a London trip with a day trip to Paris, if you want to be a check-off traveler.

 

[evilmommie]

20. Interesting list.

 

[Rogue1677x]

13 on that list so not too bad.

 

[_19disnA]

List seems rather arbitrary like most things posted on social media. Wonder if the person who made up this list specifically focused on places they have been?

 

[georgina]

I have had kids living in NYC and SF, so Central Park, Times Square, Statue of Liberty, Empire State Bldg and Golden Gate bridge are easy. Went to England (niece lives there and got married there), so Big Ben, Tower bridge, and Stonehenge done. Have been to Paris (sister lived there and visited her) so Louvre, Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, and Versailles. Visited the Grand Canyon and Niagara Falls. Do not have plans to see many of the others, so 14 may be it for me.

 

[Forevermarypoppins]

Only 3 for me
Las Vegas strip. Grand Canyon and Niagra Falls

I don't feel bad about that. Some of the coolest and most beautiful places are "hidden gems".
