Fair enough. I hope to get mine one day, if nothing else because I live in Texas and I'm close(ish) to the Mexico border, and my boyfriend has family that lives in Mexico, so at some point we'd like to go see some of them... but it'll be a bit lol

Your poor friend hahaha. I know people like that! But in my case it's almost reasonable, because I live in Texas. You can pretty much drive all day and still be in Texas. Sometimes I think that Texas is inescapable and my presence here is a form of punishment for some atrocious sin I must have committed in a past life. Texas is suffering.

Then again, I went to Canada briefly as a child for my uncle's wedding. But I was like 3 years old and I only kinda remember it. It was in like 1999 too, so I didn't even need a passport to go. Kinda crazy looking back on it haha.

To be fair - it's really only super uncommon only in lower income households. Ya know, people who can't afford to travel and whatnot.

I say that, of course, by at 27 years old I still don't have a passport and my baby sister got hers at 17 after saving up for a year to plan a summer trip to visit a friend who lived in Italy. Pretty sure my mom doesn't have one either, tbh.
