I'm 29, never left the country. My bucket list is visiting Japan at the very top. I have no idea what you do or if you have to go through travel agencies, how much money you should bring etc

Even the yanks need a visa for most countries; Japan being an exception not the norm. Just pointing that out because I have seen multiple USians confused by thinking they have the ability to travel everywhere without a visa.

"Most countries" is a hell of a stretch in my opinion. I've traveled to something close to 20 popular countries and only needed a visa for China when visiting, Singapore when studying, and Germany when moving there.

Here's the official list and I'd wager a guess that more than 75% of native US Tourist Traffic goes to these countries.
