List of geographic areas
Geographic areas ranging from countries, states, and towns have been mentioned by Chris.
Chris and the rest of Virginia
Back when the Chandlers were still on speaking terms with their relatives outside of Ruckersville, they would make occasional trips to Barb's hometown of Red Oak (or, as Chris tends to spell it, "Redoak"), a backwoods settlement in the Southside region of Virginia, to visit Barb's sister Corrina and her family. It was here that the Chandlers picked Patti out of Corrina's litter. After her death in February 2009, they came to Red Oak to take part in her funeral.[1] In a 2013 video, Chris claims that everyone living in Red Oak after Corrina's death hates the Chandlers.
Despite his later claims about being hated after Corrina's death, Chris visited Red Oak again over the weekend of 27-28 June 2009 to attend the wedding of his cousin Jonathan Carey. This happened to be the same weekend on which BILLY MAYS tragically passed away, hours after being hit on the head during a rough airplane landing.[2] In a July 2009 interview with Guru Larry, Chris mentions this trip as an alibi to prove that he could not have been the one piloting the plane Billy was on shortly before his death.
Chris and Barb visited Red Oak in April 2012 (shortly after Chris lost his virginity) to plant flowers at her father's and Corrina's graves, but they did not visit their living family members as they were all "busy". Instead Chris and Barb stayed at a hotel in nearby Clarksville.[3][4]
Chris once claimed in a conversation with a fan from the city of Fredericksburg, Virginia that he had passed through his hometown on the way to Corrina's house "a few times".[5] Chris has also mentioned Fredericksburg as the place where he bought Clover and Snoopy in 2012, and he has stated that the city of CWCville is located "to the north to north-east" of Fredericksburg.[6] It is not clear why Chris would have had to pass through Fredericksburg on the way to Corrina's, as that city is north of Richmond and nowhere near Red Oak.
Other Virginia cities outside of the Richmond and Charlottesville areas which Chris has visited include Arlington, Bedford, Goochland, Harrisonburg, Mount Sidney, Newport News, Roanoke, Staunton and Williamsburg.
Chris and the rest of the United States
For most of his life, Chris rarely left Virginia, save for a trip to San Francisco, California for his half-brother's birthday circa July 1989,[7][8] his ill-fated road trip to Ohio to visit Julie in 2009 and the occasional day trip to Washington, D.C. Since 2017, however, he has attended several conventions outside of his home state, including BronyCon and MAGfest in Maryland and TooManyGames in Pennsylvania. He also drove to Pennsylvania on a separate occasion to deliver a package to a fan and attempt to visit emgo316, a popular YouTuber.
Barb described the 1989 California flight as "painful",[9] but it is not clear if she was referring to the ordinary discomforts of air travel or if Chris's autism presented additional difficulties. Chris expressed an interest in returning to the San Francisco Bay Area for BABSCon, but financial circumstances and the COVID-19 pandemic prevented him from doing so. He had a real chance of getting to go to the Everfree Northwest convention near Seattle, Washington in August 2021, but he was banned from attending after news of his incestuous relationship with his mother came to light. In January 2024, Chris attended the Animate! Raleigh convention in Raleigh, North Carolina.
In May 2024, Chris was spotted alone outside of a boarding gate at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport in Dallas, Texas. It is currently unknown what he was doing there or if Dallas was even the final destination of his trip.[10]
Chris and the rest of the world
For the first 42 years of his life, Chris never set foot outside of the United States. He did ship items internationally, and he once sent a lock of his hair to a fan in Mexico, but that was the closest he had ever gotten to traveling abroad. When asked which countries he would most like to visit in 2008, he mentioned Japan, England and France.[11] When asked the same question again in 2019, his answer had changed to England, Japan, Canada and "maybe Germany, Scotland and Ireland".[12] In a November 2023 livestream, in response to a fan's question on where he would like to travel, he named London, England.[13] Except for Japan, all the countries Chris has expressed an interest in visiting are places he has ancestors from (or at least believes he does).
Chris was spotted with Flutter in Helsinki, Finland in April 2024[14] and again in September 2024, his first known trips to a foreign country.[15][16] The fact that Chris was able to enter Finland indicates that he is in possession of a United States passport, something he has never previously mentioned.
