*I visited these countries on a cruise, where the total time I spent on land was a few hours. By my own metrics, I’m not sure if I should include these on my list…
Wow simply amazing! Hey Patrick, I went to high school with you…your tales of your many travels are so inspiring. I wish I could see some of these places. How do you plan our stays and quite frankly afford all of this. Lol nice seing another PJP2 grad so accomplished.
@Stephen: So good to hear from you! Hope all is well on your end. To be honest, most of what I do earn gets spent on travel, but I don’t spend as much as what most North Americans think is necessary as a daily budget when travelling abroad. I stay at hostels, sometimes cook my own food, and consider all transport options available (train, bus, shared taxi, planes, etc).
Amazing Patrick! Can’t wait to hear about your latest journey in person. All the best, Emma
Hey Emma! Great to hear from you! Let’s meet up soon?
