Incredible to think that something like 65% of Americans have NEVER left the country, not even to Canada or Mexico. More impressive, even, is that like 40% have left their home STATE.
The state statistic is more daming and informative I think. For someone without big travel money/time, America does have enough natural beauty (or whats left of it in this world) for most of a lifetime of travel and experince. Someone can be decently traveled, and have some corresponding broad ass horizons without having left the US.

How many live paycheck to paycheck
I imagine that’s a large part of it, yes, but how many don’t, and just CHOOSE to stay in like, Oklahoma or something?
Oklahoma sucks so hard it keeps Texas from falling into the Gulf of Mexico.
I mean, it’s a big country. I assume “Europeans who never left Europe” would be a similar percentage. I’m saying this as someone living in the EU.
