where i've been
create your own visited country map
according to this map (and my memory) i've apparently visited 31 countries. this is only 13% of possible destinations! clearly, i have a lot more global adventuring to do.
it's true -- despite my reputation as a "traveller," when i look at this map i see not the red (visited), but the grey (unvisited) parts. it makes me think: there's so much more to see!
but i also think: even though there are whole sections of the world my little hadashis have not yet touched, at least i've vicariously experienced them through others close to me who either now live or have lived there. if i could turn those countries, say, purple, there'd be a lot more color on this map. i could claim the Middle East, most of Europe, much more of Africa and Southeast Asia, and even some former Soviet republics (the "-stans"). it makes me remember that no matter how many places i've been to, it is the personal relationships and interactions that truly show me how rich and textured my life is.
but i still can't wait to fill in more spaces with red.
thanks to Jamie's blog for this link.
