I don't know how much this would throw off the OP's thesis, but I'm getting the feeling the CPers make a whole lot more money than the average American.

Any info is appreciated! Thanks!

Btw, just a little feedback from someone who has lived in both countries. I think in general, the average Canadian travels way more internationally than the Average American. However I think the average American travels way more inside their own country....probably because let's face it, there are a lot more interesting destinations in the US than Canada. It's pretty much it's own little world.

Personally, if I had the time and the means, I'd be on the road half of the year.

Not necessarily, travelling doesnt have to be super expensive. I did most of my travelling when I was in University for one reason or another.

And I know for a fact I am not in the CP 1%. Not even remotely close.

I think it has more to do with having the available free time and having the desire to do it. As ze Germans vould zay, ze vanderlust!

I think this study is actually quite worthwhile. I remember reading something when George W. Bush ((spits on floor) was elected, before being elected he'd never set foot off of American soil. Thats a cultural attitude.

Its not exclusively an American attitude mind you, I've met Europeans (looking at you England) who had never left their town or island in 20+ years.

I knew a girl in Kitimat BC in her 20s who had only ever been to Terrace and Prince Rupert! Basically, she was never more than 200km for where she lived.
