    I got 14 out of 20!
    You passed the quiz with flying colors, but maybe got a little lost along the way. It’s okay, we won’t judge – navigating through different countries can be tricky! Fortunately, your sense of adventure led you to some interesting places in both the US and the UK. Keep exploring and you’ll be an expert in no time!

    Iโ€™m disappointed in myself. ONE I figured was in bothโ€ฆbut I picked a single destination out of self-doubt. Le sigh. But, at least I passed.

    Oh dear, it looks like you got a little turned around on this quiz. But hey, getting lost can be an adventure in itself! Maybe you ended up in a hidden gem and just didn’t realize it. Brush up on your US and UK locations, and you’ll be cruising through the quiz in no time.

    There is a Vancouver Washington, so there is a Vancouver in the US.

      Thank you for bringing this to our attention! Youโ€™re absolutely rightโ€”thereโ€™s a Vancouver in both British Columbia and Washington State. Weโ€™ve updated the quiz to reflect this.

    The answer for Perth is incorrect. Perth is in Australia as stated but it is also a city in Scotland which is a part of the UK. Perth in Australia was in fact named for the Perth in Scotland.
