Where in the world have you been?

Whether it's visiting family somewhere far away, relaxing and vacationing, or enjoying a backpacking trip far and wide, many Wiki travelers have been to some interesting places throughout their lives.

• Davis can seem to shorten horizons, in the spirit of busting out, herewith some inspiration: "Song Of the Open Road" by Walt Whitman -WilyFerret
  

Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road, 

    Healthy, free, the world before me,

    The long brown path before me leading wherever I choose.

    Henceforth I ask not good-fortune, I myself am good-fortune,

    Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need

    nothing,

    Done with indoor complaints, libraries, querulous criticisms,

    Strong and content, I travel the open road.

    The earth, that is sufficient

    ...

    You road I enter upon and look around, I believe you

    are not all that is here,

    I believe that much unseen is also here.

    Here the profound lesson of reception, nor preference nor

    denial.

    ...

    You air that serves me with breath to speak!

    You objects that call from diffusion my meanings and give

    them shape!

    You light that wraps me and all things in delicate equable

    showers!

    You paths worn in the irregular hollows by the roadsides!

    I believe you are latent with unseen existences, you are so dear

    to me...

    From the living and the dead you have peopled your impassive

    surfaces, and the spirits thereof would be evident and

    amicable with me...
