Not according to Forbes magazine based on a survey of 2000 people.

[quote]The results are pretty amazing, and perhaps explain the gaps of knowledge many Americans seem to have of the world:
-- Eleven percent of survey respondents have never traveled outside of the state where they were born.
-- Over half of those surveyed (54 percent) say they’ve visited 10 states or fewer.
-- As many as 13 percent say they have never flown in an airplane.[/quote]
[quote]-- Forty percent of those questioned said they’ve never left the country.
-- Over half of respondents have never owned a passport.[/quote]
