So Much To See, So Little Time

One of life's perverse realities is that when you have time to travel, you don't have the money; when you have the money, you don't have the time! Very similar to the fact that youth is wasted on the young.

I love to travel, but have not done near enough. I ran across this cool little site that will rate you on your travel experience. Here's what mine looks like:

Your Travel Profile:

You Are Extremely Well Traveled in the Western United States (89%)
You Are Extremely Well Traveled in the Southern United States (85%)
You Are Well Traveled in the Midwestern United States (50%)
You Are Well Traveled in the Northeastern United States (43%)
You Are Somewhat Well Traveled in Scandinavia (40%)
You Are Mostly Untraveled in Canada (20%)
You Are Mostly Untraveled in the United Kingdom (13%)
You Are Mostly Untraveled in Latin America (7%)
You Are Mostly Untraveled in Southern Europe (7%)
You Are Mostly Untraveled in Western Europe (7%)
You Are Untraveled in Africa (0%)
You Are Untraveled in Asia (0%)
You Are Untraveled in Australia (0%)
You Are Untraveled in Eastern Europe (0%)
You Are Untraveled in New Zealand (0%)
You Are Untraveled in the Middle East (0%)

So, how well traveled are you?

This was a fun thing to look at, but it lacks a little in the execution. For instance, I spent some time in Sweden, but not in Stockholm, so that doesn't get counted. I have traveled over much of Eastern Oregon and Washington, but have not been to Portland or Seattle. Same with New Orleans and Louisiana, Tampa and Florida. Oh, well, it's free and easy, and I'm not being paid for the results.

Update: Ouch! This one hurts! Try this one, too, link courtesy Villainous Company. Me:
Spiteful Loner
You are 57% Rational, 14% Extroverted, 71% Brutal, and 42% Arrogant.
You are the Spiteful Loner, the personality type that is most likely to go on a shooting rampage. You are a rational person and tend to hold emotions in very low-esteem; not only that, but you are also rather introverted, meaning you probably bury any emotions you feel deep inside yourself. Combine these traits with your hatred of others and your brutality, and it seems that you would be quite likely to shoot innocent people in a rampage. Not only that, but you are also a very humble person--not a braggart at all--meaning you could possibly have low-self esteem. This is only yet one more incentive to go on a shooting rampage, because you wouldn't care if you died as a result. Granted, you probably haven't gone on a shooting rampage and probably never will, but all the motivations are there. In conclusion, your personality is defective because you are too introverted, brutal, insecure, and rather unemotional. No wonder no one hangs around you, you morbid, cold-hearted freak!
