Been App
How many countries have you visited? How many states have you seen? What is your ratio of countries to states? This exercise may take a little time to determine, but it is a rough approximation of one's exploration of America versus the rest of the world. The best way to keep track of this is with the Been app, introduced to me by my daughter and fellow Louper Avery V. As you can see above, I have been to 67 countries and 41 states (82%!), a ratio 1.6x. I have a lot of ground to still cover through the middle of the United States, as well as South America, Africa, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East. I could probably accomplish it with one long road trip from North Dakota down to New Mexico and be mostly done in the US. Idaho is an easy fix, but Alaska is a little harder, but definitely on my list. I certainly have my work cut out for me, but this is a pretty good start! Loupers, write to me and let me know your stats!
