Whether you’re required to be fully vaccinated to enter.What follows is a curated list of countries and territories, alphabetically organized by continent or region, where US passport holders are allowed entry for leisure travel.Ĭlick the links by each destination for crucial information on: The US State Department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provide risk assessments by country to help you decide. Nations might change their rules with little notice after you’ve made plans or you’re already on your trip. Venues and events of interest to travelers might impose restrictions. The health risks are obvious if you’re not fully vaccinated.

In the end, it’s up to you to decide whether travel to international destinations is a good idea. The sparse selection in the spring and summer of 2020 has given way to nearly worldwide access two years later. Mid-Atlantic and northeast folks may go to another state every day whereas someone that lives in Laredo TX has a pretty long drive to hit another state.Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, US passport holders have seen an ever-morphing list of international travel options and rules. The average of 8 states doesn’t sound very high but quite a few people either don’t have the extra money for even a road trip, don’t have relatives to visit that live far away, aren’t really interested in seeing cool things or perhaps live in TX where you can drive 800+ miles and still be in the same state (El Paso to Beaumont). Don’t fly (went to AK before I married non-flying wife) so Hawaii is a possibility but not until after I retire in a few years. Be it a 10 minute visit to Cadillac Ranch, or a few hours at the Alamo, once we get out of the west, we try to see something to make the trip a bit more interesting. We live in CA and when we make a trip to the E coast to see relatives/visit, we try and stop along the way to see cool things. We are going to go through there on our next trip to the E coast. I thought I was there when I was a kid but can’t confirm it. Been to all but North Dakota and Hawaii and perhaps Nebraska. Now I want to hear from you! How many US states have you visited? Do you have plans to visit more or goals to visit all 50? Leave your thoughts in the commentsĭidn’t flights from California to Europe stop in Bangor ME? Maybe that is what some folks are counting. So with a family average of 37, we’re doing our part! How about you? Looking through my family’s county spreadsheet (of COURSE I keep one!), in addition to my 49 states, my wife has been to 41. In January 2023, I visited my final state (Hawaii), but I am not content with visiting states – I am trying to visit every COUNTY in the United States – I’m about 60% of the way there

Households with no children are more likely to want to visit Alaska, but people with kids are slightly more likely to have Florida on their wish list.

I guess there’s either a LOT of cruise traffic or some Americans are really bad at geography (or both 😀 )

Somehow 15-20% of people have been to Maine, but less than 15% of people have been to New Hampshire (the only state that borders Maine).10% of Americans (!) have only been to the state they currently live in.North Dakota is the least visited states.
