create your own visited countries map
I’m all about the embedded images lately, I know. Yeah, well, whatever. It’s a post.
I’m not crazy about the fact that this map boils down what I feel is at least a decent amount of travel to 9% of the world, but hey, numbers don’t lie. And it definitely makes my shortcomings obvious. I’ve basically covered the teeny tiniest continent and ignored, you know, ASIA. Not to mention Central and South America, which are, after all, practically in the backyard. Well, not really. But still. Would it kill me to go to Argentina?
quotes to go:
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”—Mark Twain
“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.”
—St. Augustine
“Don’t tell me how educated you are, tell me how much you have traveled.”
