So Where Have You Been In The World?

Let me know where you have been, earn your own Featured Lens Module to tell your story.

From the lens I've Been There.

Would you like to have your own section on this lens to tell the world about some of the places that you have been to? If you would, then just write a paragraph or two to say something about some special places that you have been to, and then up to 5 lenses about those places. The lenses can be yours or someone else's, it doesn't matter.

If you are going to list someone else's lens, why not let them know that you listed it here. They will hopefully link back to this lens, and also visit some of your lenses too, so everyone wins.

Just one rule - don't add any HTML - just list the addresses of the lenses.


You won't be able to leave a comment here unless you are a member of Squidoo, so if you would like to add your own section, just CLICK HERE to join Squidoo and create your own first lens. What to make a lens about? How about YOU! A short biography of yourself is always a good way to start as a lensmaster. That should take about 5 minutes - you can come back to it and improve it time and time again.

    What a nifty idea. I'll send you my list. It's fun to see where people have been and what they've seen.

    360 degrees around the world! I wish -ha! But I've been to a lot of places myself and some that I would never forget would have to be Paris and Sydney just to name a few. I'd love to add more places on my must-travel list. Fantastic lens! Sundae ;-)

    Wow!!!! Talk about been around the world!!! I've been to Mexico, Canada (of course), Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Iraq (that wasn't fun), Dubai, Kuwait (where I live), Holland (briefly) , England (briefly), India, Malaysia.... Um.. I think that's it :)

    what a great concept and a great lens. I will get to work on some lenses as I have been everywhere too. 5*

    Thank you for mentioning my lens, Short Stay in Bangkok? on this fantastic lens you've made! I've lensrolled you on Short Stay in Bangkok? and gave you 5***. I love to travel and cannot wait to get out again for another grand adventure. You've had some interesting journeys. Well done!

    I love this lens because to me it represents the fantastic Community spirit on Squidoo. I have some places I have been and must sort out some lenses or tell you about other people's, so save a place for me.

    But in the meantime here is a little sprinkle of Angel Dust to a great Community minded lensmaster on Squidoo - sprinkle, sprinkle.....

    OK -- it is high time that I check in and let you know that YES, I've been there -- I've been to Costa del Sol, Spain -- more specifically -- Malaga, Marbella, Puerto Banus, Ronda, Casares, Gaucin, Jubrique, Nerja, Mijas, Jerez, Cadiz, Tarifa, Antequera, Granada -- the Alhambra, and Benalmadena Costa! We flew over Portugal and saw Gibraltar and Tanger from a distance.
  • Ramkitten Apr 9, 2009 @ 11:48 am | delete
    Great idea! I love lenses like this, that share lenses by other squids in some creative way. I've found so many great lenses this way, as well as lensmasters I'd never seen before. I'd love to share some of my own here. Thanks for doing this! (I also added this to a plexo on my Squidoo Lenses That Don't Sell A Thing. I know you'd stopped by, but I didn't see this one listed, so I took the liberty under "Adventurous Lenses."
  • dc64 Mar 25, 2009 @ 2:36 pm | delete
    Wow, this is a cool idea! I've lived in many beautiful places: Gettysburg, San Antonio, Savannah, El Paso, Monterey, Chesapeake, Quantico, Countries of Panama and Germany, and I've visited many more. I haven't done a lens on them, though, except perhaps Living in Bavaria. I've done the Castles of Germany, but I haven't been to all of them, so that doesn't count. Still, it's cool to see where people have been, so this is awesome.
  • JaguarJulie Mar 15, 2009 @ 9:36 am | delete
    Oh Oh -- we are getting ready for another 'I've been there' experience! Soon, off to Southern Spain. Can't wait to fill you in on the details. And, we will just miss fellow lensmaster Gordon Hamilton by 3 days. May have to leave him a present for pick-up?
  • poddys Mar 8, 2009 @ 10:54 am | delete
    Looking forward to receiving your additions AJ. I have a few more to add for people, just a bit behind right now.
  • janices7 Mar 3, 2009 @ 1:19 pm | delete
    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this lens. My true passion is traveling so thank you so much for stopping by my Claude Monet Giverny lens and leaving such nice comments (including a heads up about this lens). I really appreciate it:) I'm going to try and put something together to send over to you. I just have such a hard time choosing 5 lenses from my travels because I love just about everywhere that I've been. I can't wait to get a bit more adventurous and go to places like Nepal and Machu Picchu. All of the featured people have been some great places and I'm looking forward to reading about all of their adventures. 5*****!!
  • aj2008 Feb 27, 2009 @ 10:57 am | delete
    Back for another vsisit to see how the lens is getting on. I really ought to do you some blurb about a couple of places I have been to & add the lenses. Back soon!
  • Tipi Dec 29, 2008 @ 1:11 pm | delete
    What a wonderful idea for a lens Tony! I will have to come back and explore the world we live in some more. I really enjoy lenses like this...5*"s
    All my best wishes in 2009!

    Just poppin' back in for a visit -- a forum post I recently read got me to thinkin' -- howz about another lens about lensmasters we've met? The Bard and AndyPo for example; Poddys and Debnet for another; we could be startin' something!
  • lisadh Dec 8, 2008 @ 1:19 am | delete
    The most exotic places I've been are China and India, but would love to go more places, so it's fun to read about all the great places other lensmasters have been.
  • Dec 2, 2008 @ 8:26 pm | delete
    Excellent lens! I haven't traveled near as much as I've wanted to. I enjoy reading about other people's travels.

    Greetings from Barbados! I am an American and grew up with an airline pilot father. My best memories as a child were our travels to the (I realize now) rather cilche places Americans go: Disneyland, Hawaii, Montreal, Miami, and Orlando. Those were enough to get the travel bug, though. When I graduated college I went to Egypt, where I'd wanted to go since we studied it in the 4th grade. Since then, I've been through Western Europe (my favorite places being Paris, Provence, the Algarve in Portugal, anywhere in Italy, London -- oh, wait, those sound a bit cliche, too, don't they?) More exotic travel includes Bali (a magical place for me), Oman (loved it and hope it never becomes Dubai or Abu Dhabi), Dubai, Abu Dhabi (holy moly, Disneyland/Las Vegas on steroids), southern India. I had been living in San Francisco for 12 years when I happened to meet a man from Barbados. Love it. My lens: http://www.squidoo.com/PlanetBarbados. Come visit!

    Great idea for a lens, Tony! I haven't traveled much out of the USA - just England. But hubby has been all around Europe. 5*s.
  • CherylK Nov 21, 2008 @ 5:59 am | delete
    What a good idea for a lens! I love to travel but pretty much limit it to the USA and Canada. Am not a fan of airplanes :-)...will let you know when I've done a travel lens or two.

    Oh, this is fantastic. I don't get out much so I will just have to travel through all these great lenses. Thank you.

    Welcome to All Things Travel... I'll get this featured next time I update. It will be fun to monitor your progress (I see some of my favorite travel lenses highlighted here already!)

    Great lens! I have been thinking of doing some travel lenses! Guess I'll be joining you in the future. 5*'s.

    Yes, I've traveled a lot but have never made a lens about my travels. Wonderful idea for a fun, Squidoo lensmaster interactive lens!
  • Valery504 Nov 16, 2008 @ 2:13 pm | delete
    Great idea! I've made a lens Interesting Places to Visit - to share the places that are worth to visit, so your experience will be very useful to my readers:)
    Lensrolled and added to recommendation links:)
    Thanks again for sharing your experience!

    I had the amazing good fortune to spend nearly three years living in Rome. I was studying at the time at the Pontifical Gregorian University. From my term time home the popular Rome attractions of Campo Di Fiori, Piazza Navona, St Peter's Basilica and many more became very familiar to me on a daily basis. Which is why I have created a number of lenses about Rome - with more to come! I aslso cannot fail to mention somewhere I visit frequently which is London our capital!

    Poddys, this is a gem of a lens! What a creative idea! I suspect a lot more will be adding to it in the months ahead.

    I've traveled the U.S. to every state but five or six. I grew up in a family of 8, and my dad worked an extra job so we could afford summer roadtrips. We lived in California, so most of the trips took us thousands of miles east. My sixteenth summer, we spent several days in D.C. exploring our nation's capitol.

    Spent my tenth wedding anniversary in Paris. What a fabulous memory! Husband was in the military then, and we lived in Germany. Went to Italy, Luxembourg, Austria...but ran out of steam & money, so never made it to Spain or England. Would love to go to Ireland someday.

    Traveling is a wonderful experience. It looks like you've had your share! Thanks for such a fun lens!

    I really haven't been anywhere in like forever, but I did build a lens on where I live.

    Awesome idea for a lens! Thanks for joining Mexico Travel - The Best of the Best. We're glad to have you. Let's see...where have I been? I've been to Madagascar. That's pretty special I think!

    Excellent idea for a lens. I've been to a few places and I have made lenses on the following:
    Namibia, Botswana, Egypt, Morocco, India (x2), Borneo, Indonesia (Komodo), China, USA (national Parks), Canada (x2), Mexico, Peru (Inca Trail), Brazil (Rio, Salvador, Amazon, Iguacu) France (Loire valley and Brittany) Australia, London (Richmond) and Gibraltar and of course lots of other countries in Europe, but I haven't made the lenses yet.

    Super idea for a lens..Im one the travel bug bit too...or maybe I have gypsy blood in me.

Was good for a start...dont plan to stop now :-))))

    Where have I been? Ah, my favorite places -- Hungary [Heviz, Lake Balaton, Budapest], Romania [Satu Mare], Czech Republic [Prague, Czeske Krumlov], Venice, Paris, Kauai, Costa Rica, the British Virgin Islands and Mexico. Some of my great places that I've been to were captured on film, not digital cameras. So, as I've been creating my lenses, I'll take some time to scan some of my pictures. Great idea for a lens! Love it.
