you are an exception in that though. Most people (well educated) have no idea how big the US actually is and how long of a flight it is from one coast to the other. Most people cannot point to the state of Nevada if you give them a blank map or any other not so popular state (everybody knows where California or Florida is).
I really don't think people in Europe are more worldly than people in the US --- it's just that everybody knows 'their home' better than places on the other side of the globe. I remember a girl in school who at 16 years old believed that all Americans were black (she is German).
