Traveling, just for fun

I like to travel. Going to different countries, taking in the different cultures, and even struggling to learn the different languages, are all activities that I simply enjoy doing when I have the time. As a result, I’ve created this page, which lists all of the countries I’ve visited, US states I’ve visited, Canadian provinces I’ve visited, and European countries I’ve visited.

Here’s my ‘visited countries’ map of Europe, for example:

Some quick stats that I’ve discovered after finishing up the maps:

  • I’ve visited 28 countries, or 12% of the world.
  • I’ve visited 10 states, or 19% of the United States.
  • I’ve visited 2 provinces, or 15% of Canada.
  • I’ve visited 19 countries, or 37% of Europe.

I notice that I’m really lacking in the ‘number of provinces that I’ve visited’ category. I know that I’ve barely scratched the surface of my great country, but on the flip side, there’s a lot to see in northern Ontario, and that’s where I usually go if I’m sightseeing in Canada!

I’ll keep this maps continuously updated as I go to different countries, states, and provinces. As I always go on my mandatory yearly vacation (the stress really piles up, you know!), I’ll have at least three more countries to add to the list once this summer’s over. I’m nearing my ever-so-close goal of visiting every (okay, maybe half is more likely) European country before I graduate from university.

    Dude, how north is Northern Ontario, because I could hook you up!

    Huhh?! Do you go alone or something? Seems like a good goal you have set there though, I’d love to do that if I had the money!

    Gary, that is not Northern Ontario! :P Ok well maybe it is, but to me, those places are southern!

    I know, that’s why I mentioned them :D But seriously, that’s probably the farthest north I’ve gone in Ontario :)
