1 year, 365 places to reminisce or discover


My dad had given me for last year’s new year, a calender with for every day (well almost, Saturday and Sunday were combined) a wonderful place to discover in the world (and then he complains I travel too much ;-). We have been keeping track of them, dividing them into 4 categories:
  1. Neither Thomas nor me visited the place: unfortunately still over half: 203 places (though with our upcoming trip to Russia, another 5 would shift categories ;-). 
  2. Both Thomas and me visited: total of 47 places (yes, we need to work on this). Some highlights: Bahia (Brasil), Etosha (Namibia), Madagascar, Bruges (yep, we’re in there), Marrakech (Morocco), Kenya. Strangely enough, of the collection, only 1 in Asia (and it’s even the Middle East), 3 are in South America,  6 in Canada, 15 in Africa and a whooping 22 in Europe.
  3. Only myself visited: 42 places. Some that stuck out: Evora (Portugal), Antartica (of course), Great Barrier Reef (Australia), Rio and 4 other spots (Brasil), Andalucia (Spain) and the Carribean (5 spots). 
  4. Only Thomas has been: 23 places (not that we are in any way competiting of course ;-)
It’s sort of nice during one of our last evenings in Zimbabwe, to look back on where we have been, and also dream of all the places we can still discover.
