My travels outside of Denmark have practically always been city breaks, so I don't exactly have an impressive list for this thread. I've been to all five national parks here in Denmark - Thy, Mols Bjerge, Wadden Sea, Skjoldungernes Land, and Royal North Zealand - though it's only in the former three that I've actually been out in the nature, since in the Zealand national parks, I've just visited some of the towns located inside them. I've also been to the German part of the Wadden Sea National Park. I may have been to one of the national parks in Scania when I went there as a little kid, but I'm far from sure about that.
 
My national parks:

United States
Badlands
Big Bend
Biscayne
Everglades
Grand Canyon
Great Smoky Mountains
Guadalupe Mountains
Hawaii Volcanos
Hot Springs
Mammoth Cave
Mount Rainier
North Cascades
Olympic
Rocky Mountain
Shenandoah
Virgin Islands

Plus the following National Monuments (NM), National Preserves (NP), and National Historic Parks/Sites (NHP or NHS):
Bandelier NM
Fort McHenry NM
Muir Woods NM
Virgin Islands Coral Reef NM
Waco Mammoth NM
Big Thicket NP
Boston NHP
Independence NHP
Manhattan Project NHP
San Antonio Missions NHP
Fort Davis NHS
Valley Forge NHP

San Juan NHS

And a lot of National Forests, too many to name.

Canada
Banff
Jasper

Tanzania
Serengeti
Tarangire
Lake Manyara
Kilimanjaro

Japan
Nikko
Fuji-Hakone-Izu

Mexico
Arrecifes de Cozumel
Isla Mujeres

I don't know if I've been in any national parks in Europe, but I hope to have time to hit up Nuuksio in Finland when I go back in September.

As far as seas, I guess I haven't actually traveled completely across the surface of any oceans or full seas, but I have sailed a decent portion of the Caribbean. I've sailed across West Bay (part of the Galveston Bay system) several times, and kayaked across it once.
