Like all of us, I cannot wait to be able to travel freely again. A few months ago, I approached possible future international travel with a methodological approach:

1. I obtained the list of all countries as detailed on WorldoMeter.
2. Using a spreadsheet, I sorted out countries I had already visited.
3. I used Google Travel to source flights from a Midwest US city (Kansas City) to all the locations I had not yet traveled.
4. I mapped them out and color coded them based on categories.

I chose April due to my birthday month; however, I don’t anticipate we will be able to travel anywhere by then.

A few other comments: I checked prices now to just establish a baseline. Most of my previous travels have been multi-country trips, so I definitely understand that if I fly to South Africa, I can easily visit the other southern African countries easily and cheaply.

One can dream.

Why not visit a place with more pyramids? One problem: Its Sudan.

I’m a strong proponent of user reviews, as long as they are representative of the services. For instance, I often review Yelp or other sites before visiting a certain restaurant.

For the last six years, I have posted reviews to TripAdvisor. This is a good example of my writing and reviewing style: https://www.tripadvisor.com/members/KansasBoy0404

In case you were wondering, here is a map of all the countries I have visited.
