How well do you know your country?

1 Answer

Answer :

I really want to do a cross country trip, but haven’t had the opportunity yet. Hopefully I’ll be able to take at least 2 or 3 weeks off one of these days to do it, although ideally I’d like to take 2 months, really see some sights and hit all the territories, too. The only provinces/states I’ve been to so far are BC (although I’ve explored that quite a bit), Alberta, Saskatchewan, the Yukon, Alaska and Washington. Overseas, I’ve been to England.
