A 2019 article by @thehill sited a survey conducte A 2019 article by @thehill sited a survey conducted by One Poll which found that 11% of Respondents have never left their home state . Another 54% of respondents have traveled to 10 states or less! 😱 We’ve personally seen in our family how the older generation grew comfortable staying in their birth state and never desired to travel or leave for good  but our time in the Military and passion for travel has encouraged us to change the mold and explore all 50 states and beyond .  ———————-
When we started traveling with our son and writing out our travel bucket list , International travel Was for sure on our list but we’ve never forced it . We’ve learned to not only be content but excited about exploring our own home country . The goal is to let the trip choose us and go where the deal is . One of my absolute favorite things about the United States is how diverse an experience you can have within the 50 states and territories.  ————
The point that I’m getting at is even though travel restrictions are growing and discouraging , don’t let it make you complacent in your travel journey . Don’t miss the opportunity for a new and exciting experience just because it’s not International. You’ll be surprised at the beauty you discover and how a city or state that wasn’t on your radar gives you the most memorable experience.  —————-
How old were you when you first traveled outside of your home state ? Also, what state/ city surprised you the most ? Leave it in the comments below !  •
