Visited quite a few US States, the diversity of climate and landscapes within one country is quite amazing.

...and this explains the often quoted line about only 10% of Americans have a passport blah blah... They can experience almost any kind of environment without ever leaving their own country.

Can't disagree with that! There really is so much to see the in US.

but it doesn't even come close to the variety of cultures/languages you find in Europe.

[caziques]

Won't list them all, total appears to be 58. Some of the more out of the way ones are Botswana, Malawi, Jordan, Syria, Swaziland, and one of my favourites....Norfolk Island.

Driven a car in 48 of them.

Driving from London to Cape Town helps with the tally - and a two week trip by car round The Baltic adds another ten.

Hoping to add Gambia this year.
