I have been talking with some of my peers that are here with me in kuwait and I have concluded that I am well traveled for someone of my my means and my age. none of my family has alot of money and I have never had alot of money but somehow my life has taken me to eight countries in the last five years. I have spent 2 months various parts of Peru, I was stationed in Belgium for 10 months where I had the chance to travel to Spain, France, Germany, Netherlands, and Luxenberg. I have now been deployed for a short time to Kuwait. I will not include all the places in the US I have been. (That really doesn't count)
Now I know there are alot of peaple out there nowdays that have been to many more places than I in that short of time but you must remember that I am not a trust fund baby nor do I have a high paying job as a matter of fact I had a wife and a kid for much of my travel. I am not trying to bragg or make myself out to be some kind of travel guru but when I think of what I will be able to use my expeirences of my travel is this; my kids. I will be able to teach them things and tell stories of things that they may never get to see and hopefully I can inspire them to get out of their world that they know and go see the rest of it. I can't explain what kind of things have happened to me in my travels but I do know that no one can ever be worse off for expanding their horizons.

Holy cow, Chris! I didn't realize you've been so many places. That is so cool! I am jealous. The only place I've been outside the US is Canada (the 51st State). I have though, been EVERYWHERE within the continental United States... not as cool but as least I have seen some stuff.
