Have been to about 7 countries.
Have been to these US states:

Montana, Washington State, Idaho, California, New York, Florida, Louisiana.

Not counting a few states I've just passed through in the airport.

I found NYC when I visited in 2020 to be very eye opening in many ways.

Forgot Sweden for my big brother's wedding and a side trip to Norway.

I still can't get used to the American spelling for travelling.
In English the thread title would be pronounced tray-veling.

I went to Ikea and purchased 3 towels. The elderly lady helping with self check out neglected to ring up more than one towel, so I got 3 for the price of 1. I thought that was a very good deal.

idk, always unusual as usual
:nerdy:

even buying some jeans/clothes in belgium armydump, they had tanks and rockets and all sorts,
but sometimes you couldn't get out of belgium, driving in circles, or finding freeways that have no destination,

cities? london ('70s) paris, berlin, munchen, birmingham, nurnberg, milan, glarus(alps), prüm, avignon, orange, nancy, becanson, verdun, etc, idk 8)

Orange? city in france, and Avignon, i got the deja vu-s,
from probably something else and got a twitch from the pastis
and first time seeing cockroaches, and first time being chased from a property for a jalous wife who claimed i was flirting with the hub, that was wild
they didn't live there, they lived on their farmhouse
but the workers, we and a moroccan, were housed on a wine-property, in sidehouses/holidayhouses
that was an interesting place idk exactly where, in steep mountains area
we had a look around, the winecellars and old stuff there, even the old graves in the chapel
owners likely living in a city
