Looks like she is at least aware of the states that border her state of NC. That tells me she probably has not traveled far from home. Sadly, a lot of Americans have never traveled far from home and have no clue about other states.
She needs to get out further, although that's harder because of the economy now.
I’ve heard the majority of Americans don’t travel more than thirty miles from home. I don’t know if that figure is accurate. I can’t imagine staying in my hick area all my life! Yes, it’s very nice to have the peace & quiet l but I love adventure and getting to know how others live.
I have encountered A LOT of people who are like that. When I lived at Ft Hood in the late 1980s there were a lot of town folk (and even quite a few military family members) who had never been to Dallas. And very few had gone to Austin. In Germany I was the weirdo who said to my fellow American wives, "Hey, I have a map and a German-English dictionary, let's go!" So even people who were forced to frequently move around still wouldn't travel outside their current little bubble.
Thanks for your service. Its great you were able to explore. I’ve heard it’s a beautiful country. My mom’s cousin was in the Army based in Germany. My mom & grandma visited her in either 79 or 80. I’m 55 & probably started traveling around three years old. My grandparents always took me with them on trips. My mom’s entire family always took trips together. I don’t know many people that grew up like we did. We were not rich but back then you could travel on a budget.
Oh, I wasn't the military member, I was the tag along spouse (although back in those days even when you had a full time job A LOT of volunteer hours were required of the spouse for the military member to get ahead).
Ah, your mom and grandma got to visit Germany when the exchange rate was good :) Did they go into East Germany? I went the summer before the wall fell. Drove the Marienborn Autobahn so I got to experience the real life "Papers, please" with the Soviet checkpoints.
