It amuses me that there are lots of towns in America and Europe, but when they get to the Middle East just 4. None of which were in the two countries I've been to. They could have at least put in one per country.

Yes, ditto. Africa is even worse-represented, and Asia is almost entirely East Asia. Central Asia has disappeared.

Slightly skewed, though interesting. It gives me as most well-travelled in Australia, which is reasonable, but overlooks the fact that the cities it names in Australia are literally the only cities there, whereas Britain has a lot more than it's put on the list.

Yes, bizarrely my distribution didn't seem too far off (except for that I'm far better travelled in the Eastern US than it believes), but that's partially because I compromised with some cities (oh, Frankfurt? Well, I haven't been there precisely, but I've certainly been to Mainz and Mannheim and Heidelberg, all of which are not ridiculously distant from Frankfurt, so tick!). I'd love to see a map of Canada with only four provinces.

In fact, I'd love to see this meme turned into a Map Of The World. ;) (Your mission, should you choose to accept it....)

Also serious bias towards western europe. As such having been to Moscow and St Petersburg makes me well travelled in eastern europe but having been to Florence and Athens makes me mostly untravelled in southern europe.

The two countries I've been to in Asia (Israel and Armenia) have nothing anywhere near them at all, as far as I can see.

Not only unrespresentative, but monumentally ignorant: give the author a geography lesson! Four random cities make up the "Middle East" -- one of which is Istanbul??!!!?? Istanbul is and always has been in EUROPE, dipshit!!!!

On the other hand, most Israelis, or Syrians, Lebanese, Jordanians etc. (even those who've made the Hajj), would be "Untraveled [sic; why I am unsurprised that an American wrote this?] in the Middle East"? And let's not get started on Africa...
