We know you’ve traveled around North America these last few years, but we’re wondering if you’ve traveled outside North America within the last 10 years? One time? Three times? 10 times?
If you have, did you go somewhere where you could RV or did you travel other ways? We hear RVing around Iceland is pretty spectacular (in fact, Chuck has done it!).

2 cruises to the Bahamas. Took side trips on both.
I traveled to Germany & Austria’s Kriskringle markets. Went on a trip ran by a nun, it was great. Almost eleven years ago I went to Australia to visit my cousin. A beautiful clean country.
Not since the border between Canada and the US became stricter. Use to go to Canada every other year or so, not anymore.
Are you not aware that Canada is in North America?
Apparently many “Americans” are not.
Mexico is also in North America. And when you fly into many South American airports there are welcome signs that say “Welcome to America”.
What is stricter? A vaccine certificate? Yeah, all that does is keep you and others safe.
Yes. Hawaii, Italy and, Greece,
No. And never will. Hawaii, Canada- that’s just too funny.
Along the former southern border it’s not necessary to travel outside the USA to get the sense you’re the foreigner.
Wow. Sounds like you should stay in your cocoon. Much more to the world than the U.S. or North America. As a Canadian I feel traveling around the world gives you a much better perspective on other cultures. It doesn’t have to be a scary world out there, IMHO.
Agree about how actually seeing and understanding other cultures gives so much more perspective. Working nearly 40 years for a large international company had me working with colleagues and traveling on five different continents. The major lesson was that people are pretty much the same all over the world as far as the basics of what we want and need. Day to day activities or how we celebrate or worship, or what we eat may vary, but the basic elements of human needs are the same.
Spike, I agree with you wholeheartedly. Sadly too many Americans are fearful of what they don’t understand and are unwilling to experience or learn.
I went to Ireland 3 years ago. Loved it!
Cruises take you all over! Mediterranean cruise had us in parts of Europe, then there was Central America and always the Caribbean area.
Too much to see in this great United States!!
We’ve started to travel to Europe twice before COVID as our winter holidays. Once to Portugal, and once to Portugal and Canary Islands.
Such a vastly different experience compared to sitting on a resort and beach for a week or two, which is what we did for years in the Caribbean
Our travels include renting a vehicle ,and explore the country we are in, which we did.
Travel advisors mostly advise against this, but we are always careful and figure that we may as well stay home if we have to stay on a resort, now since we have done this type of traveling.
We plan our own itinerary, and so far it has worked out great.
Can’t wait to do it again.
On our last trip we invited our friends to experience what we have decided was the way we wanted to holiday, and they loved it and want to join us again
A few short weeks ago we were in Ogdenburg NY on the banks of the St Lawrence looking across to Canada and a bridge less than a mile away. Felt strange looking out across the water thinking how it’s not people that separate us, but governments. Decades ago I visited Canada pulling a camper up to the furthest roads North in Ontario. We stopped at the border and were asked if we had anything to declare and the purpose of our visit. Less than a minute conversation and we were off to explore. In the decades to come will it get better or worse crossing our borders of flying off to distant lands. Formation of the EUROPEAN Union improved trust and cooperation between countries. Will we ever see something like this for the U.S. Government and its relationship with the world or will we continue as a country along a path of further isolationism?
Agent traveled outside the states since the Marine Corps sent me to Vietnam in 1968. Don’t plan on going out now.
Yup, most every year for the past 24+ years for 3 to 5 months. And mostly to South/Southeast Asia . Warm!! Will be leaving for Malaysia first week in November this year and back first week in April. Combining travel and birding, keeps me busy.
….except the past two years.
Belieze, Peru, Bali, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam and Japan. We also went to South Africa and rented a small motorhome and toured South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe for 55 days, then flew to Uganda and with a guide toured for 3 weeks.
RVed to Canada. Cruised to Australia, New Zealand, Galapagos Islands, Brazil and Amazon River. Toured in Peru. Just completed cruise to Pribilof and Aleutian Islands, Alaska and down Inside Passage to Vancouver. Took seaplane from Vancouver to Victoria on Vancouver Island. Planning next trip to Antarctica in 2023.
We traveled to China…10 days, and had a great time…was treated very well, found the country friendly and clean.
of course this was before the current political environment.
We traveled to Ecuador twice and spent 6 months each time.
No desire or need to travel outside North America. Too much beauty here. Plus, not into crowds at airports and disruptive Karen’s and their broods on airplanes.
We went to Greece, in the northern part where Macedonia is in 2015. My wife’s cousin lives there.
Sweepstakes is a hobby for me, I won 10 day trip to Sydney, Australia. Other than that, our travels are within North America.
We joined w\ our adult kids at a Domican Republic resort in 2017, and just returned from a Caribbean cruise to Honduras and Mexico.
Joined our Daughter, Her Husband and 2 granddaughters in the Dominican Republic in 2017. 2 Mexico cruises!
We went on a cruise to Egypt, Greece and Italy 6 or 7 yrs ago but do not plan to ever leave North America again. Don’t want to ever fly commercial again to go anywhere since flying is such a big hassle with poor service and crowded planes!!!
In April flew to England, spent 10 days. Seven in Cornwall. Such a beautiful country, soooo clean. My grandson is attending University of Exeter. He loves it. It was so nice to spend the week with him. Had a rental car & no problem driving on the left.
In 2016 took the Danube River cruise starting in Budapest & ending in Germany.
In 2015 took a cruise to Barbados, St. Croix, St. Lucia, etc., a typical Caribbean cruise.
In 2013 flew to Moscow & took river cruise on the Volga River all the way to St. Petersburg. Each day was a different excursion on shore in a unique town. Very interesting.
We haven’t in the past 10 years but will be doing it in December of this year. I am also working on the DW to go to Australia and New Zealand in the future.
My wife and I have traveled outside the U.S. too many times to count in the past 10 years (actually 12 +). We lived in our Arctic Fox 5th wheel 8 Years, volunteered at National Parks/National Forests, we delivered RV trailers from Elkhart, Indiana for 2 years (numerous Canadian trips) and have taken 28 cruises together to/from Europe, the Caribbean, South/Central America. Currently on the Enchanted Princess enroute from Belfast to Cobh, Ireland.
To quote Rick Steves “Keep on Traveling”.
You should ask if people have traveled outside the US since the lockdowns began.
In the last 10 years we have been to Mexico and Peru in South America; and Portugal, Belgium, and Netherlands in Europe.
Definitely prefer Europe.
Jamaica, Canada
Bahamas, Ireland, St Lucia…life is too short, be cautious but go
