Where have y'all traveled to? Could be to another country or a city you wouldn't normally go to.

WITHIN THE PROVINCE

Niagara Falls
Have gone countless times with family.

WITHIN NORWAY
I have been to Norway twice during winter (2016 and 2017), and once during summer (2019).

Oslo
The city life. Fucking Tesla and electric car capital of the entire planet.

Skullerud
Technically still within Oslo, but it's so far south-east that it's kind of in the middle of nowhere. I'm only listing this here as a special exception because I went to the world famous Oslo Klatresenter, which is the home gym of legendary Norwegian rock climber Magnus Midtbø (I met him too!). Magnus is the most followed person on social media in Norway and has the biggest following for rock climbing content on YouTube.

Drammen
My girlfriend's hometown.

Austbygdi
A tiny, quiet village nestled in the mountains. My girlfriend's cabin is just north of here.

Kongsberg
A little town that my girlfriend and I always go through when we head up to the cabin in the mountains. Basically, the only major town to stop by for gas and groceries on the way.

Rjukan
A quiet little town in the valley between two mountains. Hitched a ride on a cable car up the mountain and went hiking in an area called Krossobanen.

Rødberg
A city my girlfriend and I drove through on the way to the Langedrag Nature Park.

Sandvika
Went to an IKEA here.

keep in mind some of these places i've only been like two days, most of europe was a tour through. imo the one valuable thing i've learned from these travels is that the french, japanese and italians have the best cuisine in the world.

I think the only significant places I have left to cover in Ontario are Sudbury, Thunder Bay and Windsor, although I did pass by Sudbury on the way to Sault Ste. Marie. For what it's worth, I also passed through a township of 300 people called Plumbing Additional. I wish I could find it on Google Maps or Wikipedia or anywhere really but it's so small nothing bothers to acknowledge it.

[Cheesemaster VI]

I've been to a bunch of places in Ontario, but don't remember/am too lazy to list them all.
In Canada outside of Ontario, I've been to Montreal.
In North America outside of Canada, I've been to New York, Pennsylvania, and California.
Outside of North America, I've been to England.

[Duvet]

Same. I just stole your format.

Is IKEA any different there? Chick-fil-A in Atlanta is pretty special.

IKEA is pretty much the same in Scandinavia as it is here.

I am fod of traveling and have already visited many asian countries. Now I have plan to explore the Thailand. I have already bought walkie talkies for it on amazon. I think it is useful tool during traveling and camping.

Thailand's nice, but I would watch out with buying radios here as FRS/GMRS is not legal in Thailand, they generally use CB band equipment.
