What moving away from the midwest will do for you.....
Besides the obvious opportunity to, you know, see stuff, getting out of the midwest opens up a lot of opportunities for us middle-class or less types.
Prior to job seeking, and ultimately moving out to California, my "visited states" map was much more polar:
Now, after living here for a while, and a ton of weddings last summer, it's more like this:
create your own visited states map
Alright, well, it'd be much more drastic if I did it county-by-county, or number of visits to each, or something. Outside of the intersection of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and the two satellite cities I'd visited a lot (Chicago, and St. Louis), all of the rest of the states were touched mostly at borders.
