I was bored while on google earth and started tracing where'd I'd been in the last year with the path/ruler tool. Then I traced most of the major trips I've gone on in my lifetime.

anyone else want to post up where they've been? I find this cooler than those facebook things that just name states or countries you've been too and lets you see how much/or little you've actually been to. Straight lines are mostly flights and curvy ones are usually roadtrips. (I have a lot of flights to CO and MI)

I don't know how to do that on google earth then post it, so I'll just say where I've been.

This last year I've just been around BC. From Vancouver up to Revelstoke, to Nelson, Rossland, Vernon, Kelowna, etc... (See a trend?)

But over my life I've been to Australia twice (once to the east and tropics, once to Perth), Hawaii, Hong Kong, Thailand (such a cool experience), England (road trip around the southeast areas), Sweden, Denmark.
And obviously tours through the western US and some trips out to eastern Canada as well (Ontario and Quebec) and through the rockies from BC to Saskatchewan.


I feel like I've seen a bunch, and I'm stoked on all the memories.

i don't want to cover where i've been in my life because im about to sleep

but in the last year i've been all over the west coast of canada.  heli skiing in the caribous and monashees
and fishing albacore tuna the whole summer on the pacific ocean.

here is a map that i used while i was on the trip.  it shows my exact location when i check in with the Spot satellite messenger beacon.

go to google earth

on the toolbar there is a ruler lookin thing. click it
there is a tab for path, click that, then you just connect the different places you've been on the map. Its all one line to.

to save an image, go to file, save image I think, it could be under export or something like that, save as jpg and upload.

you poor ignant bastard. your probably one of those people who thinks the middle east and afghanistan are all the same thing, and that the U.S. should just nuke it all & turn it into a lake. go get learned son, geography is important. as is history, and cuba plays a huge role in the history of the U.S. so if you think any damn island in that area is cuba you are a fool.

Impressive- that's a lot of flying around for a year.

Since the beginning of 2009: Morocco, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, the Vatican, France, U.S., Canada, Poland.

Includes Oktoberfest, the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

And other random stats- highest elevation, 11823', lowest elevation, sea level.

Number of currencies in my wallet right now- 4.

International borders crossed on a snowboard- France into Italy and vice versa.

Furthest north - around 62 N
Furthest south- 31 N.
