    Sadly one. It’s my own, and it’s one that I wanna get out of so bad.

    And tourists LIKE this place?? I mean, good for them, but I just don’t see how. Some have even moved here.

    And no, it’s not Japan. It’s actually its polar opposite (not literally). If Japan is known as the “land of the rising sun”, my country is the land of the setting sun. It would make more sense before the discovery of the New World.

    Give up? It’s Morocco.

        I can’t get enough of it. The people are so friendly. You pretty much can’t get into trouble there - I forgot my camera equipment in a hotel lobby one time and it was still in the same spot 12 hours later untouched. Nobody even locks their cars.

        I just rent a car and bring my backpacking equipment and just wing it every time. Aside from Reykjavik 101 the entire country is just amazing. I Iove not having an itinerary and just planning my adventure as the weather permits since that changes daily.

        If you get a 4x4 you can travel via F roads (aka fucked up roads) and completely avoid the tourist crowd. Offroading in thorsmork in particular is just the most glorious thing a guy can do.

          sounds like a cool getaway to rent a hut warm and scenic on a cliff or mountain just to enjoy yourself and focus on your stuff

    • People’s Republic of China - I was born there, not much of a choice. Was there for approximately the first 10 years of my existence. Most of the time was spent around the Guandong Province. Went to Hong Kong (under PRC control) like once, or so I’m told, very fuzzy memories… [How was it: Serious Economic and Political issues at the time I left, so… not good 0/10]

    • Seoul, South Korea (ROK) - Stayed for a few hours, at the airport, waiting for the connecting flight. Never entered into the country. I saw some noodles on the menu at a restaurant at the airport, and it was like 10,000 Korea Won or more, I was a kid that didn’t underatand different currencies and exchange rates, shocked me lol. (Probably like $10 to $30 USD) Other than that, don’t remember much happening) [How was it: Don’t remember much, the airport looked nice, so… 7/10 I guess, but I didn’t technically enter the country]

    • United States of America - Been here ever since like I was around 10-ish. Here via Immigration Visa, I have since acquired citizenship. Lived at NYC and Philly, traveled around the NY/PA/NJ tri-state area when going back and forth between NYC and Philly. And went to DC once for a school trip. [How was it: Used to be like 6/10, now it’s 2/10]

    Does it even count if you never went through customs? Also, depending on the flight paths, I might have also flew over Japan/Russia/Canada’s Airspaces… if that also counts 🤷‍♂️

    (What does a flightpath from Seoul to JFK look like, anyways?)

    I wanna to go to Canada, I’ve always heard it was a nice and friendly place, even friendlier than the US. But don’t wanna face customs issues when returning since… ahem fascist administration, so I guess it’ll have to wait 4 years… or more… 👀

    Somewhere between 17-19, but only on the Northern hemisphere.

    One thing I’ve learned is that humans are very much alike everywhere, both good and bad, but mostly in a good way. I will never understand racism or patriotism. Borders are artificial.

    • 2 decades: Netherlands
    • 2 years: Belgium
    • 2 months: Finland
    • 2 weeks: Iceland
    • 2 days: United Kingdom
    • 2 hours: Switzerland
    • Somewhere between 2 minutes and 2 seconds: Netherlands, Germany, Belgium all at once

    • 6 years: Germany
    • 6 months: France
    • 6 weeks… this is getting tricky, Luxembourg is probably closest but not close enough to claim this tier
    • 6 days: Poland
    • 6 hours: Sweden
    • 6 minutes: I give up

    I didn’t realise it was a life goal of mine to spend 6 minutes in a country until this post, but now I’m not sure I can unsee this list. Maybe the Vatican is a good candidate for that? Italy can go in the 2 days slot, bumping UK up to 6 weeks another time. Germany will exceed the 6 years slot soon though, maybe I’ll need to visit all sixers to get bingo on a row of sevens instead. And where are we going for 7 seconds? Another tripoint, does that count?

    I refuse to answer, since “what is the first country you traveled to” is a recovery question used by at least one online service I’ve used, and I don’t want to risk letting someone else have a better chance at guessing the answer I used.

      Tip: if you trust yourself to keep track of stuff, you can just use another password for these fields. I know this is pretty common knowelege in the privacy space, but a lot of people never think of it.

    I’m American, so predictably I’ve never been out of the country. If money weren’t an issue I’d love to travel to Germany, Japan, and China to start.

        I’ve got some German heritage, and I’ve always wanted to see the Black Forest. Plus there’s the Brandenburg gate and castle Neuschwanstein.

          Oof, you’d be on the road a lot. Black forest - in the very south west, Neuschwanstein - pretty south east, Berlin - very north east.

          I might suggest going to the black forest, visiting all the historical castles in the Mittelrheintal (middle Rhine valley), and instead of Brandenburg gate maybe Stuttgarter Schloss etc. Neuschwanstein is basically castle-cosplay. I think in the middle Rhine valley you’ll find cooler things and it’s closer .

            Thanks for the suggestions! I am slowly setting aside money to try to travel there someday and planning at least helps it feel closer.
