Check out a map of all the U.S. counties I’ve visited (map graphic courtesy Marty O’Brien)

Over the 47 years I’ve been alive, I’ve traveled in all 48 contiguous United States (and the District of Columbia). I’ve also been to Puerto Rico, nine of the ten Canadian provinces, one Mexican state, and seven European countries.

Want to know how close I might have come to your home town? If you’re in the United States, select your state and I’ll show you a list of the counties I’ve traveled in, complete with the last day I was there. I’ll also show a few facts about your state, and tell you some of my favorite places I’ve visited there.

Note: Population data on the individual pages is from the 2000 U.S. Census (unadjusted numbers used for apportionment of U.S. Representatives). Land area is from the Rand McNally Road Atlas.
