My wife and I have visited every State in the US except for those 6 New England States. We’re planning a road trip to finish this bucket list item.

I’ve lived in 8 States. Cruised to Alaska and Hawaii. Drove through the others. We lived in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico for 2 winters and Destin Florida for 4 winters. We took different routes to and from each. I don’t know anyone who has visited all 50.

How about you?

Everything west of the Mississippi , except AK.
Lived in 6

Missing North Dakota and Hawaii. I got a whole bunch of them the summer of 1979 when I did a two month cross country hitch hiking trip. I think I've lived in 7.

Haven't been to Maine, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Alaska, and Hawaii.
Have lived in MS, TN, AL, and VA.

I’ve lived in 8 states, been to every one except Washington, Oregon, Maine, Arkansas and Mississippi. All spread out so I can’t get them all in one trip.

I have been through, may not have stopped for the night though every state aside from Oregon, Washington, Alaska, North Dakota and Minnesota. A lot of the states we passed through on our way to our destination.

Have lived in OH,CA,TN,AZ,MI and very briefly in NC,NY, and MO. I've been to all but AK,HI,OR,ID,MT,ND and MN-(unless Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport counts).

I’m at 46 and should be at 48 this year.

Right now, for the contiguous U.S., I need Mississippi and N. Dakota. I have plans to get to both of them this year.

But, I won’t get jabbed and refuse to wear a mask. So, I don’t know if I’ll ever get to Alaska and Hawaii.

My "rule" is that airports don't count. I actually have to step on the ground of the state/ country to count it.

38, I believe, but several of those (WI, IN, ID, MT) are places I've really only driven through on my way somewhere else or maybe stopped for gas/food.

There are a few states in there that I've only visited because of attending conferences, so my time there was limited to hotels (GA, TX, CA, WA)

Haven't been to, in any form: AL, MI, AR, MO, IA, OK, KS, NE, ND, OR, AK or HI.

Lived in 4 states.

I've been everywhere, man.
I've been everywhere.

Made it to all 50 (Montana was #50) by the time I turned 49 in 1999. OK, I had some help: Spent 1.5 years in Alaska (Army) right after high school, much later I got a job with lots of travel.

49: each except Louisiana. Lived in 11.

Hawaii
Nevada
Washington
Arizona

Been to a lot more than i realized until making this list and, one state less than the number of countries I’ve been to.

This summer should also knock Idaho and Wyoming off the list.

I was basing my list on, spent at least one night in." Driving through wasn’t counted for me.

I have two friends that have visited all 50 states and most if not all the provinces of Canada. (and many many countries now). They sort of had a competition. Their rules at the time (trying to get all 50, almost thirty years ago now) was that you had to eat a sit down meal in the state for it to count, not just drive through. I know this because I was camping in Maine with one and he decided me needed to drive to New Brunswick to eat dinner, otherwise it wouldn't count. lol


I've 27? No idea on meals or just driving through, I suppose I could figure it out, but why? lol

40 for me; lived in four.

Hope to do a lot of road tripping in retirement and get the remaining 10.

I don’t if there’s rules, but I feel the same. You got to have boots on the ground or it doesn’t count.

I spent half a day at Narita airport in Tokyo, but never left the terminal. So, I don’t say I’ve been to Japan.

I used to have a printed out map in which I crossed out a state I had visited, which I counted a visit as actually going somewhere and doing something in the state. Having previously worked in the private sector, I made it to a whole lot of states. I no longer have a clue where my map is as I packed it when I thought I was moving and haven’t unpacked everything. Obviously I could look at a map of the US and do an actual count right now, but just not feeling that motivated. Easier to count on a physical map with x’ s through them.

Honestly most of the states I haven’t been to are ones I really don’t care to, however; I have also been to several I would never live in but did enjoy the visit. If I had to take an off the head guess, I would say I have visited 40+ states.

Now that I am in the public sector, my travel is limited to Texas only. I need to make a map of all the counties I have been to in Texas as there are 254 counties and I have been to a majority of them.

All but Maine, Alaska and Hawaii. Some due to work, some due to a motorcycle habit. Retired now and plan to eventually get them all. Frankly having a hard time getting excited about Hawaii. Too many stories of how the locals hate on outsiders.

All but Hawaii..
