I’ve only been to about 30 states
I’d say that we’re able to travel freely among all the states within the North America region.
I’ve had trips organized to where I’d stay in one state technically just to go into another.
Some of the most traveling I did was when I’d stay as a student athlete in Dubuque Iowa.

I’m already someone that’s from Illinois, so going to Iowa was already interstate travel for me, but it only got amplified once I attended college there.
On a regular basis I’d find myself switching among 2 other states while living there. Wisconsin and Illinois. There would be plenty of different reasons for doing so. A good majority of it was for sports. It didn’t stay there though, it was a hub since my program was fortunate enough to book more events outside of just those 3 states. There were stories of where my teammates would do trips to Florida and even Canada!
My personal experience outside of the 3 states I mentioned would be going to Indiana and Las Vegas Nevada! What’s funny is that my experiences were more on the lighter side of things, but it got me in the habit of getting used to what traveling to different states was like.
I felt safe and free because I got the chance to gain experience with what it takes to feel welcomed during my stay in another area, and gain benefits from making those trips.
I could reference trips during my youth like when I’d attend family reunions and such, but that felt less intentional than what I’d like you all to feel when learning from me.
It’s a large task
Having a challenge that separates the boys from the men (for lack of better terms) is one of the realistic scenarios in doing this.
I wanna ask you what does it feel like when someone tells you that something is “a lot” to do before you even start, or while you’re doing it?
My point is that it’s a mindset adjustment you’re supposed to challenge and answer to the response of being able to handle it.
I don’t want you to get this confused though. There’s limits to what we as people can do. Realizing that makes your time moving forward even better spent. You’re not gonna get put in a position where you’re fighting a dead mission essentially. You’re gonna know yourself in a way at that you’re gonna be moving so in your purpose that it’ll feel euphoric in a way.
You have to think about how challenging it is to make it to one state coming from another. I think someone shared something that was like it takes 300 miles just to go from Utah to California. Some people can’t even run a mile comfortably. The point is (if we stick to mile markers) every distance earned was exactly how we got there— it was earned.

If I want to cross the Canada-US border (leave Canada and enter the US) can Canadian officials prevent me at the border?
Everything Goes Well Leaving One Country (specifically Canada) to Enter Another With Your Passport According to a Well Traveled Lady From The Southside of Chicago
I’d like to share some knowledge I got enlightened with thanks to a lady that gained experienced that I’d do anything for.
She travels frequently without any disasters or anything along those lines.
She’s someone that started from humble beginnings and got her shot with seeing the world for what it really is.
Getting involved with leadership groups and community programs was what I got out of that led her to get this opportunity.
One story she shared with me that I feel you’d appreciate most is her time entering and exiting Canada from the states.
She put me on to game in a sense of sharing that her team went with a Travel Agency which smoothed out her process completely.
From how it sounded, she only needed to have her passport ready and then it was as simple as catching the plane and spotting her chauffeur.
So having that knowledge alone should be enough to at least gain confidence to eventually travel such a far distance.
She’s clutch for being able to share just a small staple of her life and assist with my own message. She deserves a thank you. And if you’re wondering who that lady is, it’s my grandmother.
