Lauren:

I am guessing that you mean area in a geographic sense, in which case there is no specific area that we are limited to. Because we use telephone, email, and snail mail, we are able to interrupt people around the world. For in-person visits however, we are limited to the spots where our agents are located, which include Buffalo, NYC, Ohio, West Virginia, Australia, and a few others. Also, we all travel, which gives us other opportunities to create live interruptions wherever we are.
