I have been to 39 States
I have a vivid memory of sitting in one of my 9th grade classes and doing a goal building exercise. As I sat blankly at my paper, my thoughts drifted. The first tangible idea that came to mind was related to travel. I figured going to all 50 of the States would be a really fun goal. The next step of the assignment was to establish a time frame for your goal. I decided, let’s try to do all of them by the age of 50 & so the challenge began! Based on the 1 a year theory, I am currently behind. I’m 42 & only 39 states visited. Here is a look at my map. The red states are the ones I’m missing.
I have 11 states I need to see in the next 8 years:
North Dakota
South Carolina
North Carolina
Virginia
Rhode Island
Massachusetts
Vermont
New Hampshire
Maine
Alaska
Hawaii
If you want to get nerdy, I have included a lot of useless stats below. You will see the exact order in which I visited each State, what year it was when I first visited it & my age at the time.
