Seen everything already?

Some of my readers are surprised by how much some people travel and wonder whether these guys haven't seen most of the world yet (and thus run out of places to visit).

To give you some imagination of how big the world is, please have a look at my depressing record below:



Blue is my home country and red (not grey!) are the countries I have visited so far... Of course, I went to some of these places more than ones, but on the other hand the red-coloured US or Canada look quite impressive and in reality I only saw one tiny city in Canada and a few places in the US!

You know that I really enjoy travelling, but even though I use every free minute to do so, I so far only visited 30 out of the approximately 250 countries worldwide. So I guess I have enough places left for my entire life-time :-)

Obviously, I am not aiming to color all these countries in red as fast as possible, but I prefer to really enjoy and discover each of them. Still, I must admit that I was surprised, too, by how little I saw so far.
