Hard to phrase this, but bear with me.

Living in the US, and occasionally I think about what other countries I would travel to if I had the money and ambition to do so.

Realistically though, I have a hard time justifying leaving the US. Sure, I have some interest in European history and places of interest, but other than that I can find all sorts of adventure here. If I wanted to explore different cultures and civilizations, they're already here. If I want a change of scenery or terrain, I can find what I'm looking for. If I want to be left the hell alone, I can make it happen (though I may go through hell to do so).

Damn near inifinite possibilities, and I don't even need a passport.

Why leave?

I think I've only been to and through 25 states in my lifetime. And I still would rather keep revisiting western South Dakota. Paradise.

...western South Dakota. Paradise.

I could easily see myself living there if the wife didn't enjoy the beach so much.

Find a lake, there's your beach. Small window for good weather, but meh
