Ahhh I was so excited to see this! That's so amazing that you're hitting 60 countries - definitely an inspiration since I've only been to 21 (which is still a lot haha). Love Iceland too, it was my first solo trip and I would go back any chance I get. I know you mentioned wanting to return to a couple of places, but what's a country you've been to that's top on your list to visit again? Hope you're having an absolutely amazing time down in Chile and Argentina! :)
Thank you! I’m excited that you’re excited 😆 honestly Iceland would be top of my list along with Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, Australia, Russia, and Scandinavia in general. So lots of places 😂
I know this is a 2 month old video, but regardless I wanted to leave a comment here. I can't believe you've already been to so many countries! I've traveled a bit and I've only been to like, 13 outside of the US. Would love to double that list by 2030! (giving myself a little bit of leeway on the years there lol) I do hope that eventually that Russia will be safe to come back to again. I've been there several times (Russian background here as well, have family there, used to go frequently to see them and took some tours with some American friends a few times who wanted to see it years ago, though it wasn't anything special - Moscow and St. Petersburg only. But for first timers, it's beautiful and the white nights are gorgeous in St.Petersburg) and I can't go back now due to the unfortunate ongoing current situation, though I'd like to when it stops and places (tour agencies, etc) and people are open to going there again. It is beautiful, despite the government and how they act. Outside of that, do you have any recommendations for people who don't quality for Ultimate Break or Contiki because they might not be in that advertised age range? / have you taken tours with any other companies?
Hello! Thank you for the kind comment! I’ve also travelled with Top Deck a little and liked them but as for tours for all ranges EF actually had a branch called EF Go Ahead and I plan on traveling with them once I age out of Ultimate Break. I’m sure they are just as good since it’s under the same company!
I will be excited for the day that traveling to Russia will be safer again! With you traveling to 60+ countries, are you the type of traveler that has a desire to go back to the majority of them, or are you more of a "one and done" traveler that (save for a few special ones, maybe like Japan) would rather spend the time visiting a new country, rather than going back to one you have been to?
I like to have a mix of traveling to new places, but then also revisiting places. Places like Japan, Russia, etc. are ones that are particularly interesting to me whether it’s because my family is there or because I find that country particularly interesting. So I guess it is a bit of both!
I love your maps so much!!! Why do we find them so inspiring??
