[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have lived on four continents and outside my home country for 25 years. I have no idea how many countries I or my kids have been to. It would never occur to me to count. Why do people do that? [/quote]

People do that when their number is very low.  I’ve also lived on four continents and cannot count the countries I’ve been to since infancy.  However, for my very young child I can still count.   Makes sense, doesn’t it?    Many Americans traditionally did not travel much out of their country, due to high costs, less time off, and far distances.  It’s a much different story for someone from Europe who gets 6 weeks of paid vacation, and chooses from 6 countries all within a 4 hour drive.  You really cannot blame anyone here.[/quote]

I don't understand your answer.  You said it makes sense for your young child because of.....?

For the record, I am not European and am from a country much further flung from Europe than the US.  I did not travel outside my country until I had finished university and everything was self-funded.  So travel was never accessible or easy for me and I have never taken it for granted.  [/quote]
