With the big social media platforms all feeling less and less appealing, I’ve been checking out Micro.Blog for a bit. I’m not sure I’ll be there long term, as it feels like a tough group to break into. But I have enjoyed some of the micro-projects they have tried. The latest was based on a post the site’s creator did asking, “Where have I been?” I thought I would put my list together as well.
A couple of notes.
- Places where I have only been in the airport (Germany & South Korea, Colorado and Nevada) don’t count.
- In many places I have travelled to, I have only ever been there for ministry/church conferences. Sometimes been able to stay for a few days beyond the work commitment, but not always. They are indicated with an asterisk.
- I cheated a bit and broke the UK into four countries (England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland).
- Ireland is still not in the UK.
Here are my lists

So, 20 countries and 29 States. I used to have a goal of getting to all 50 states, but no longer living there makes that unlikely.
And finally, the number one place I’d like to visit: Country: Greece. State: Alaska.
How about you? Where have you been?
