>"And no it's not travel if you are in the same country" This is true of most places in the world but I strongly feel that travelling between regions of the USA is very similar to travelling to different countries. The northeast corridor, for instance, is HUGELY different from the southeast "bible belt". The cultures are distinct: food, architecture, dialect, history; I'm not sure how it doesn't count as travel! Getting from South Carolina to New York is at least 700 miles. You can get from Berlin to Belgrade in that distance. And that's just on the same coast of the states! The west-coast culture is a beast of its own, to say nothing of the vast center of the country. Suffice to say: seeing your own country can indeed be travel.
