    I’m US based. I’ve been to Mexico, Italy, and Ireland. I still feel like a dumb American that thanks of Europe like Disney land. Like it’s just a place to take vacations and not a place where hundreds of millions of people live and work and have complete lives.

    I don’t feel well traveled at all.

      A lot of it is perspective, especially if you know people that are very well travelled. I’ve been to the US, a couple countries in Europe, 5 countries in Asia and I don’t feel well travelled at all, but I tell people some of the places I’ve gone to and are often impressed when they are the type where traveling is going to an all inclusive in Mexico or Cuba. Just different ways of travelling and different opportunities for that type of travel (Asia’s a lot easier when your employer is paying for it).
