    * I forgot I went to Singapore (two times), my bad guys!
    Have you ever soon those world scratch maps? I have seen them dotted around and always thought it would be fun to get one, scratch off all the countries, and then see exactly how many countries I have traveled to.
    So today I put the scratch map up on the wall and scratch off each country I have been to and tell you some cool stories along the way!

    My husband has this map, sadly he passed away in Thailand in January and he never scratched the countries off, time to get it out and start scratching.
    Love it Paddy, still so much more to explore, Merry Christmas and happy travels in 2024

  • @Wanderlust.travelandcoffee

    Paddy mate! That was super cool to scratch off with you all your adventures.
    Buddy, just wanted to say a massive thanks for reigniting my passion for travel since turning 50 in 2016 and quitting my job for a year to travel the USA and then live in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Since then I have been able to cross off Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines and Malaysia. Unfortunately my India trip was cancelled in October due to health issues but plan a bunch of destinations for 2024.
    Thanks for you inspiration and a truck load of shits and giggles along the way and of course many a sunrise and sunset.
    Cannot wait for all the new episodes to drop.
    Wishing you a cracker Christmas and New Year with your family and Miss P.
    Merry Xmas 🎄🎅 Krup 🙏

    Hiya Paddy. I love scratch maps. It is very cool.

    Love seeing the old pictures and footage.
    So many wonderful destinations and lovely memories.
    Looking forward to your new adventures.
    Wishing you the Best New Year. I hope you had a wonderful time with Family. I hope Miss P enjoyed it.

    Merry Christmas to you and yours Paddy, my friend. Enjoyed the scratching and tales shared about your adventures across the globe, Looking forward to more of your over the top Next Level Adventures yet to come that you'll share and bring us along with you as you travel through your own fun seeking and entertaining experiences. They are truly enjoyed to watch and feel right there with you from the talented way you share each place and experiences whether really fun and breathtaking, to terrifying and not for the faint hearted cliffs you fearlessly brave, and even those not so much fun for you on the misadventures you have like failing motorbikes, flat tires, leaking oils or rattles, bumps and rains you've (and we've) been through right with you in spirit. Your talents to share them, like those gas-pumping dances I do very much enjoy and chuckle at, make your channel special, top rate, Next Level fun, Paddy. Thank You for sharing all of them with me, and a blessed very Merry Christmas cheer to you. Stay Healthy, Happy and Safe, my friend, now do scratch (reveal more color) away at that map a bit more for us, please.

    Fun video Paddy. I have one of these maps too, but mine has the states/provinces for large countries like the US, China, Russia, Brazil, etc, rather than scratching the entire thing. I like it because it reminds me I’ve only scratched the surface (pun intended) of some places and gives me the urge to go back.

    By your standard of having to stay in a country at least 24 hours in order to count that country in, I have been to Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Macao, China, South Korea, Japan, India, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Australia, New Zealand, U.S.A., Canada, France, Switzerland, and Russia-21 countries/territories in 4 continents. I have also been to the following countries for a few hours: England, Germany, Myanmar (Burma), and Mexico. I have made multiple transit stops at airports in Turkey (Istanbul) and Qatar (Doha), as well as one transit stop at an airport in UAE (Abu Dhabi).

  • @johngagne986
    @johngagne986 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Interesting idea. I use a world map I mounted to a backer board and place pins in it. Of course as OCD as I am I color code the pins to reveal if just a single city or localized area (yellow) or a blue pin which means multiple visits and a bit wider a field from that specific point (ergo, France not just Paris but also Lyon and the Burgundy valley and multiple pins for the bigger cities, Places in china are many multiples of yellow city pins in many provinces, etc. And there are a few other colored pins like green and red and black etc which all have their own meanings. Confusing, too complex? Of course but that's me. By the way Strawberry Hills for ever tip of the hat to John Lennon and Newcastle is still my favorite Nutty Brown Ale. Merry Christmas to you and Miss P mate! Every blessing for you both.

    Wow, amazing traveler, and at 67 I don't travel any more but have been to many places in the World now, moving from Boulder, CO, U.S.A., you have been in Estes Park not far and observed by me because of living so close, then to Thailand for the last 24 years, I am relaxed and feeling alright.☮ Happy Holidays I have watched you from your start and you make interesting videos, I have hitched with a friend all over the U.S. and have been in different parts of Mexico, all over Europe starting from England and onward. Then Hongkong and all over Thailand and I still have a nice house on Koh Samui where I stayed 12 years after moving with 3rd wife who is Thai to Nakhon Sawan not like you though who have been really all over the World, Thank you and HAPPY HOLIDAYS🏝💖 never been to India, Africa, Australia, Russia, or inside China and a lot of the places you have been to but while living in Boulder met a lot of Indian and Tibetan spiritual teachers and learned a lot. Yes, I to really like Thailand and am glad I am here and now! Peace again!😎

    My criteria is putting feet on the ground, excluding airport transfers which in my book doesn't count. Driving through Belgium from France to the Netherlands without stopping I do not count that as having been there.
    Thailand is great and positioned so conveniently that a lot of amazing countries are a fairly short flight away.
    Most fantastic place is New Zealand, amazing nature scenery. I'd go there again and again at any opportunity. You're not talking about it now, which shows you haven't been there yet.

    I'd like a scratch map too. We made a map with pins, but I don't really like it. Do you have a link to the map? We'll need to talk about the States... Northern California I enjoy quite a bit more than Southern.

      @@PaddyDoyle. Haha downtown LA/San Fran scares Americans off too, Paddy. A few miles away in Santa Monica you'd find one of the nicest places on earth (and that is not hyperbole). Certain inner cities have been left behind by American society (and wealth); they are the product of a society hyper focused on individual freedoms, but also unwilling to provide social safety nets out of a fear of disincentivizing an imaginary work ethic. Anyhow... come back to the U.S. sometime!

    I personally think its ok to scratch off a country if you spent several hours in an airport bar talking to locals waiting for a connecting flight. Looks so much better on the map. I know you want to say it Paddy. You spent much your youth chasing a debauchery lifestyle.Many would say if you had Japanese or Russian girlfriend you can cross off that country also. Right! I also worked as a bartender in my youth in a very posh Beverly Hills bar. Great Job, made a ton of money and meet so many lovely actresses ( people). How many people can say they served Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor there favorite drinks every week. Have a great Christmas Paddy!!!!

    What year did you visit Hong Kong? It became SAR of China in July 1997 which is still its status today. Before 97 it was a British colony. Technically counts but it’s kinda like visiting Puerto Rico and saying you’ve been to the US 😂. Need to visit the mainland.

    What a great idea, I've been dying to get a huge world map for a while now.. definitely getting myself one too now!
    Not sure about GB as 3 countries haha.. there is no land border as such!
    OMG Tele text lol.. hadn't heard that for a while!
    Do 8 hour layovers in a new country count if you went outside for some sightseeing? Because that's what I have done for China, Japan, Dubai and UAE! Although I also stayed and worked in HK for 5 weeks so China is definitely IN!
    Love those image transitions from b/w to colour by the way!
    Did you forget Singapore as a country? Or have you not been?
    OMG didn't realised you have not been to Africa at all! Time for a trip to Morocco, Egypt and Jordan!!

    Interesting idea. Bit odd that you haven’t counted the countries you’ve been to already…why isn’t it productive?!
    England, Scotland and Wales are separate countries and you’re right in scratching all separately. The Uk is a political union which people incorrectly seem to think it’s a single country…
