The funny thing is I have been lucky enough to travel to a few other countries and in every one of them almost every person I have met has never stepped foot outside their country.

I went to Egypt and the only person I met while there that had ever left Egypt was our tour guide who went to London once for a work trip sponsored by the tour company she worked for.

I have been to a couple of European countries and almost all of the people I have met there have either never left their country or have only gone to neighboring country. The difference is though going from France to Spain or England is kind of like going from California to Arizona or Washington to California.

So I would venture to guess most people live in a bubble
