So what continent do they die on? Where do immigrants come from? What about military personal? Are you “thinking” just about North America? Many people in Europe move around.
Don’t be most people
well, I think we didn’t leave the continents, they separated themselves over millions of years
No one has died on another Astro body uet
We should quietly move to a new continent every five years or so. Learn a new language, change your name and appearance to blend in with the locals.
Except for a long weekend in the UK at 32, I had never left the Americas before I went to work in the Middle East at 43.
I am on my second continent. I was born in another one.
Europe โ North America โ Africa โ
Maybe South America, Asia and Australia at some point. South pole is doubtful.
Most people have never left their country
I have, several times. Being poor is a choice I refuse to make.
What about islands?
They’re not per se part of the continent and I’ve been on plenty.
Me who lives on an island:
For people who live in/visited Istanbul and it is 30 mins ride to change continents
Going on your jolidays does not a philosopher make.
I know people who never left their block. Just sitting on the stoop at most going to the Bodega/market for food and supplies. They never learned to ride a bike, get a job, never picked up hobby or sport much less travel. No ambition or motivation.
Most people have never left the planet they were born on.
Are you American? I’ve been to four continents not including travelling around my own.
Glad to be not most people, then.
I was born and raised in North America but I’ve visited Asia and Europe, so I feel decently well traveled for an American
Nobody, except for a handful of people, have left the planet they were born on
Plenty of people rarely travel or not very far. Continents tend to be big. For Europeans is might be the easiest. Small continent near others. Australia/Oceania is a bit further from the others.
As an European I’ve visited three others, Asia (Turkey), Africa (Tunesia) and North America (USA). Plenty of the world left to see.
North and South America are seperate continents. I know some people see them as one, but that is just inaccurate. Only a small land bridge connects them and there are not even any roads between them. Seperate continental plates as well. Europe really only is one culturally, Eurasia is more one continent than the Americas are. With Africa connected as well.
I read about a decade ago that 80% of all humans will never travel further than 50 miles from where they were born.
Have left the continent several times but just visited another country in my home continent for the first time last month.
I landed at SAW istanbul airport, technically asia, so i ticked visiting asia off my bucket list.
Been there, done thatโฆ
(I live in the uk)
This sub has been taken over by middle schoolers bored in social studies class
and die less than a miles/1,5km from the place they are born
Shit most people live their entire lives with 25 miles of their birthplace.
I’ve left my continent while never stepping foot in another country.
Also everyone that goes the coast and swims in the ocean technically leaves their continent. So I’m betting more people than you think have left their continent and done so as a young child… based on a technicality
A guy in my hallway my freshman year of college had never left the state (Indiana).
I feel very lucky to be well travelled. I know full grown adults that have barely left my city. Theyโre like a different breed, itโs kind of fascinating how it manifests in their personalities.
