We were working to work 6 months in the States and 6 months overseas. Medical field. We make most of our money in home health Wisconsin Michigan Ohio. Among others, then provide medical services to the poor in Kenya at whatever they could afford as well as medical services in United Arab Emirates Then branch out from there. However Charity received her BSN in nursing I almost had my MSN in nursing NP in May 2017 June she went to her sisters in Ohio. By mid June came down ill. Admitted in a hospital in Columbus. ICU Cancer with Met. Died July 1st 2017. She was a strong woman and is to this day missed.

You're very right. We even have multiple states that are bigger than some European countries. And another example is in Michigan. There area around Dearborn has the largest Middle Eastern population in the country and it heavily influences the food there but drive thirty minutes north and there's a historically large Geman population and you see it everywhere, especially the food. Same thing in Texas. ~A!`f`ter `Katrina a huge amount of people moved to Texas and you can find tons of Creole food and culture right along with Mexican and what we'd consider 'cowboy' culture of BBQ and soul food. Not to mention a huge Asian population and extire sections of the DFW area that are akin to Chinatown in San Fransisco.

Grew up in Georgia near the Florida line. Ancestors were from Northern Ireland. And no, we do not need ID to cross state lines. There’s no border check or anything. It’s just the road with a sign that says “Welcome to” whatever state you’re entering.

You should acknowledge that while you don’t need travel documents to go state to state, all adults are required to carry id. Drivers license, state id, service id, I don’t know if school ids count. You have to be able to identify yourself (or be able to be identified if there is an accident or you become one of those fatalities). Why make it hard? Lying in a hospital, unconscious and alone, no way to notify your next of kin. Or in a lonely morgue, also with no way of notifying your next of kin.

We have two huge mountain ranges, Florida beaches, lakeside holidays in Michigan; you really have everything you'll ever need here. Besides, many of us can't afford international travel. I went to Canada once in 1997; that's it. Also, I own 11 guns. It's a mixture of handguns, shotguns and rifles and I can attest that these guns don't float around at night and commit crimes.

I got my passport in 1997 when I was 26, in order to relocate to the UK for work for a number of years. When I travel now, I travel mostly overseas as I find it's super expensive to vacation in the US. For example, it is less expensive for me to fly to Costa Rica than it is to fly to either US coast, and Hawaii and Alaska are ridiculously expensive. Last I priced out flights to Heathrow, it was only marginally more expensive than to fly to NY. Might as well go overseas. I've been all around Central and South America, and also most countries in Europe. Almost everyone I know has a passport, and uses it. I currently live in the middle of the county, in Iowa. I have also lived in several states in the US, including California and Texas.

Also...flying and traveling outside the country with disabilities isn't always easy or feasible, depending on what they are (my husband would have a rough time traveling...). And then...the costs...given the majority of Americans don't earn enough to take trips outside the country...well...getting a passport can be a luxury. And no, you don't need them to visit other states. We have passports but need to renew them b/c they're out of date.

Also, I just got back from the Caribbean and I didn’t even need a passport to go there, I just needed a birth certificate and an ID. And I would love to go to other countries but I simply can’t afford it.

I saw the photo of guns and the comment asking “Is it like that on America?” I live on the Midwest of the U.S. and I got a rifle for my 13th birthday. As kids we would carry our rifles through town to get to a place to shoot. Students with drivers licenses drove pickup trucks and had one or two rifles hanging in the back window of the truck, and drove them to school!!! People back then were raised around guns and had PARENTS who taught them not to shoot people!!! There are also millions of Veterans in the U.S. who are well trained with firearms of all kinds as well as explosive ordnance. Our Constitution gives us the RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS as a protection against a tyrannical government and to protect ourselves, families, and others. Unfortunately our Communist Politicians want to disarm us. It makes you wonder why doesn’t it? All dictatorships in the last century have banned guns so they can do evil things to the defenseless masses.

Hello from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania! Most people I know don’t travel internationally. There’s so much to do within our own country from mountains, deserts, forests, lakes, hot, cold, urban metropolises, coastal watersheds, islands, cultures and so much more that we can go whole lifetimes of vacations and not see everything. The bonus of staying within your own county is similar laws, same currency, same institutions, same rights(for the most part 😬). Our states are the size of European countries which is why most don’t travel ($) and which is also why we say the states we are from. Our states are defacto individual nations also functioning within a larger system. States even have their own militaries separate from the one you know of that interacts with the outside world lol

Bottom line is outside of the history of Europe you’ve got every terrain/geography available. Thousands of miles of beaches, forests, mountains, rivers, lakes, deserts, grasslands, swamps, state and national parks all over the place. Different kind of food all over the place due to the melting pot and its helluva lot cheaper to drive 9 hours to the gulf or 7 hours to the Atlantic for a week than to fly everybody to Europe.

I have never experienced nor have anyone I know experienced gun violence in the United States.

I'm from North Carolina, we Americans say our state first just out of habit but really it makes sense, unless you live in major cities that everyone knows then most people aren't going to know even a large regional city if you're traveling inside America, let alone internationally. For example I grew up an hour west of Charlotte. Many Americans may know or have heard of Charlotte but even those who have likely would struggle placing it on a map or even telling what state it is in unless you're from the region yourself. As a person from another country you may have never even heard of the city despite it being the 15th largest in America and one of the fastest growing. States are easier and you also have to remember the entire continent of Europe is only a hair larger than the entire United States.

I’ve had a passport for many years, in fact am in the process of renewing it, which will cost me $130.

I live in Arizona. When my daughter was young she asked me what an immigrant was. I told her an immigrant is someone who moves away from the country where they were born to live in a different country. And she said, "Oh so if my cousins moved to America they would be immigrants?" I told her that her cousins do live in America and she said, "I thought they were Idahoans?" LOL I had to explain to her that Idaho was another state in America just like Arizona is a state. And no, you don't need ID to cross borders from one state to another. They don't even usually have checkpoints. Only exception I've experienced is California. You aren't allowed to bring produce from other places into California because they don't want to introduce different insect species into their environment. So, when traveling into California they stop you and ask if you have any produce.

For the most part all of this is accessible by car, bus, train or air. It really is a spectacular place to live/visit.

South Carolina. Our country is huge with varied climates and cultures no need for a passport. Also flights are insane to Europe

Georgia here. I do have a passport-I’ve had one for years. I’m very much interested in other countries, their food and culture. Keep ‘em coming, Adam. I’m enjoying your videos a lot.

In the early 50s a cousin of my mother married a girl from New York. He brought her to live in south Texas with his family. The poor woman would not go outside between the hours of noon and one. She was convinced gun fights always broke out at high noon. Thanks hollyweird.

I’m from Massachusetts where the gun laws are extremely strict, and now I live in New Hampshire and any resident can walk into a store and purchase a gun. It’s a wild concept to me because I don’t even know how to use one yet I can purchase one legally at a store down the street from me. However I will say, I have never experienced or seen gun violence. There have been shootings in towns I’ve lived in, but mostly gang related isolated incidences so I’ve never been fearful of it.

Another thing to keep in mind is that until 9/11, you didn’t even need a passport to go between Canada and the U.S. In the same graph Laurence just showed, you can see American passport ownership spiked somewhat after 9/11, and that is a big reason why.

I currently live in the state of Maryland(USA). I'm 46 years old, have never had a passport, and would only ever need one if I decided I wanted to see the world. Our states are the size of European countries and we can freely travel to all of them without any checkpoints. We've got beaches, tropical areas, mountains and valleys, swamps, plains, deserts, hills, canyons, huge lakes, giant rivers, pine forests, hardwood forests, and have the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Atlantic to the east, and the Gulf of Mexico to the south. There is not a "NEED" for a passport.

Hello, I'm from Indiana. Just wanted to say that I love your channel and am so happy to see it grow. Congrats!

I love this, thank you!

Adam, Australia, Canada and the Irish Republic also use the term "Soccer" because they have their own national sports called "football" : Australian Rules Football; Canadian Rules Football, and Gaelic Football.

I’m from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania- it’s 3hrs to most of the major cities along the north east coast - NYC & Pittsburgh are 3hrs, DC and Philly are 2hrs, and Baltimore is an hour. It makes traveling easy and affordable!

It’s called the World Series because you have many nationalities play for US Baseball teams. Theres a bunch of not just US but, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Koreans, Japanese players etc etc that play for teams. So the best players from all over the world eventually find their way into the Show. This is one of the reasons most often cited for dubbing the championship game the “World Series”: it contains the best players in the world. Also, I have a passport. Yet why own one when you’re never gonna leave the country? Doesn’t seem crazy to me.

Pretty damn cool how Lawrence can teach even other Brits things about themselves they never knew.

I am 58 years old and have Never had a passport. Recently, my family took a cruise from Texas (Galveston) to Roatan, Honduras. Then, on to Purto Costa Maya, Mexico and last stop was in Cozunel, Mexico. We were told that we didn't need a passport if we had an Original Birth Certificate validated by the state seal we were born. If you change your name, like marriage or divorce, then you had to provide that documentation as well. Passports are easier to travel but harder to obtain. Especially after the Pandemic that closed everything. Some workers did not return and new employees had to learn the job. It is advised in the USA to apply at least 3 months before your trip. Sometimes, it can take 6 months unless you are desperate and willing to pay $$ higher fees for expedited service. Passport or Birth Certificate had to be shown to first board the ship and at every port if you got off to view the area. I was shocked when I found out my brother and his family including my nieces and nephews all had passports. Most state lines you just walk or drive across. California is the exception as you cross into the state. They are strict about only natural plants, vegetables and resources are ONLY in CA.

Bruh love the content keep it pushing from pacific northwest usa much love

Missouri resident here. The reasons we don't hold many passports differs from person to person. We have a continent's worth of stuff to see within our borders (which we can traverse with relative ease) that we don't necessarily need to leave the country. Though it is generally a good thing to travel abroad. It is expensive to leave this hemisphere. We don't get a lot of vacation time so a good chunk of the time is devoted to getting there and back again. I've had a passport since I was 18 for a trip to Spain put together by our high school Spanish teacher. I haven't used it since and I am in my 40s.

I’m from Michigan originally and currently live in Georgia. I also lived briefly in Ohio. I do have a passport (since 1976 when I went to school in Italy )and I mainly use it to travel there. Lawrence is right about the reasons many Americans do not have a passport. Unlike Europe, where you can be in a different country in a few hours by relatively inexpensive trains, I remember traveling to California by train on a family vacation to visit relatives in 1960 when I was 5. The trip from Detroit to San Francisco took 3 or 4 days. In fact, when I was young, air travel was still a luxury that only the wealthy and business travelers could afford with any regularity. For most Americans, a trip to Europe would probably mean travel by ship. Also Lawrence was right that many Americans don’t see the need to travel abroad when you can’t see everything in the U.S. in a lifetime. My father was like that although his view of international travel may have been jaded by the fact that his only experience of it was going to North Africa and Italy during WWII.

Ok, so our country, just like Lawrence said, is huge. We have quite a few different cultures within the U.S. so there is definitely differentiation and diversity. In addition to that,the cost of an international flight can add up to a rather large expense. As well, since we can drive most places within the U.S. and don't need passports for interstate travel, for many, it makes sense not to have a passport. One additional fun fact - its the same driving distance from Houston, TX to Orlando, FL as it is from Houston, TX to El Paso, TX - 16 hours. For yall to travel anywhere within Europe, you must have a passport because there are so many countries within Europe. Also, regarding favorite sandwich, I'm the most basic - peanut butter. It always does the trick. Love your videos dude. Keep it going!

Hello 👋Colorado here! I've actually travelled pretty extensively. (Brazil multiple times, a summer in Rome, a summer in India, a trip backpacking across 13 European countries) but that's more the exception than the rule 😁 It sounds unbelievably pretentious saying that, but trust me they were NOT glamorous trips. I ate almost nothing but oatmeal and slept in a tent for weeks and weeks 😂

Went on an out of country trip once because it's so expensive. Been as far west as Ohio and as far south as Florida in this country. Alot of fun. I could go two counties in either direction of the compass where i live and just run into culture and language shock. The funniest one i ever had was the before mentioned overseas trip where we were waiting for a flight in Newark. Stopped at fast food place in the airport and asked the guy "What kind of pop do you have?" This guy just stared at me dumbfounded. So there we were just standing there staring at each other ..and i realized my mistake and told him listen dude i'm not asking about your dad. Do you sell Coke or Pepsi?"

TEXAS! Born and raised! Now military retired, and living in the Philippines. So now I'm a "World" player!

1:20 The reason Arkansas and Kansas are spelled like they are is because they come from the same native language. The reason they are pronounced differently is because people stopped pronouncing Kansas correctly a very long time ago.

Bro, more reactions from this guy. We need more of this. This was great. Born and raised in FL. Stayed in NC after exiting the Marine Corps. I own a passport. Had to have one while in the Marines so if you need to fly home commercially (emergency reasons) you can without issues.

Football is called football because the length of the ball is a foot = 12 inches. A foot length ball is therefore a football. And the game of football is obviously played with a football.

I'm from New Mexico. Got my passport when I was 17 so me and my friends could take a trip to England for spring break our Senior year of high school (so much fun!). Got plenty more use of it in college by going down to Juarez, Mexico for the "Drink n Drown Bar Crawls" on Thursdays. The passport was good for 10 years but by the time it was up for renewal Juarez had become a much more dangerous place for American's and I had no plans on flying anywhere any time soon. I decided to skip the $50 renewal fee and let it lapse. Edit: Drink n Drown Thursdays was where you could pay $10 to get in to a bar or club on the border strip and get free drinks all night. Or you could buy a $30(sometimes $40) wristband that gave you Drink n Drown access to all 5 bars/clubs on the border strip.

Before 9/11, Americans did not need a passport to visit Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. I went on 8 international trips before getting my first passport. Now that I have one I have travel all over the world and I also lived overseas as well.

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia!

Love the Aussies ❤👏❤️👏

THANKS for the reaction, Adam!! 😃 YOU are CRACKIN' ME UP, MAN!!! ..and, HEY: Don't kick my SOCCER BALL with THOSE FEET...after that dog walk!! NOW: go change your socks!! 🤣🤣 I do NOT have a passport....but: my daughter does! Hugs: from TEXAS!!!

I’m from Kentucky, the Bluegrass State. 🏇🐎 I just found your channel and quickly subscribed - i love your reactions!

Hello Adam! I'm from just outside St. Louis, Missouri. I didn't get a passport until I was 28, right before I took my first international vacation in Italy. I've also been to the UK three times since then. This actually reminded me I need to get my passport renewed soon!

Fun video, I'm in Tennessee and no passport, there's so much here that I have no need to leave the country. I laughed out loud when you said you were getting into our head, bet you wouldn't stay in mine long, hahaha. Try to keep in mind that a very large percentage of gun crimes in America are committed by criminals with illegal guns, the stats rarely show that.

When he was talking about states, it remanded me of the time you took the quiz about the states 😂

I'm in Washington state, born and raised. I've traveled within the country, and way back in the day I checked out Vancouver, BC, Canada. I don't have a passport. When I was younger I couldn't afford to travel abroad. Now that I have disposable income (kids grown and gone and larger income) I have 5 large dogs. The amount I would have to pay just in boarding them for a vacation is crazy. So I still don't travel. Not even within the country. Hell, I can barely go to the store without getting mean mugged by the dogs when I return. *shrug* it is what it is.

Big fan from Central Florida!! Looking forward to your visit to Disney in October. ❤

The passport\travel id question is an interesting one. I had one at 14 because my Father's profession included 6-18 month on site trips to other countries, and the company allowed for a family stipend... imagine a Texan, speaking broken Japanese, with a north Texan drawl As for travel IN country, by the constitution, there can be no impediments to such free travel. Distance and cultural impact are the main reasons folks just don't leave this country. Unless you are on a boarder of course, then, cross border travel is much more prevalent. Until the last few years, an American citizen did NOT require a passport or visa, to move between the US and Canada or Mexico. Unless there is personal interest, there is little reason to think some rando in Kansas(just as an example due to geography) will ever leave the country for personal reasons... they would spend the same amount of money on a trip to Florida to hit Disney World(and or the Universal parks)as you are going to spend on your trip later this year. ( you are flying 6500 KM, they would be flying 2500 KM, but your $ per mile cost is actually cheaper)

Two more bits: I collect college t-shirts. I attended one for undergrad and one for seminary, but have over 450 different college t-shirts from around the world. It's a hard collection because they take up space. But I can wear my collection every day of the year and not repeat! Also, until 2009, an American could travel to Canada and Mexico without a passport. Just needed ID (driver's license, etc). You did have to go through customs, of course. But imagine all the scenery, all the beauty, that you can find if you add Mexico and Canada to the "you-don't-need-a-passport" list! Now passports are required, so maybe there's a bump up in applications?

Hello, Adam. I've lived most of my life in Georgia, but my early childhood was spent in Tennessee, and I was born in Michigan. Americans do tend to live their entire lives close to where they were born, but some also tend to move around a lot. I got my first passport in 2010 so that I could accompany my British wife back home to attend her father's funeral. In 2011, we went back, just for fun this time. After that, my passport has been stored in a lockbox/safe, unused. Those trips to England and back cost me $2000 for round-trip tickets each trip, plus another $3000 in spending money, again, each time. So, $5000 per trip isn't exactly small change, even for the 2010s. My wife however, has three passports: 1 because she was born while her parents were living in Venezuela, South America, 1 because her family were born in England and they moved back there around the time she was 5 years old, and 1 because she moved to the US and applied for citizenship here. I once had to fly out to New Mexico--just Northeast of Texas, and drive a small moving van/rental truck back here to Georgia. I crossed 6 states, and never needed a passport. That trip took 4 days, although the actual driving time was about 28 hours. Imagine you had a way to drive Eastward for 28 hours on a perfectly flat, straight motorway at 60-70 miles per hour without needing to stop for food, fuel, or loo breaks. What European country would you wind up in after that time? How many times would you have needed to show your passport at a checkpoint? It's sometimes easiest to think of US states as different countries--even though they aren't--just to visualize the sheer size of the country. --Dan

No need for a passport here. We can visit the ocean, mountains, and deserts whenever we want. Why pay airfare for something we already have? 😜
