You can see the flights that I have been on, that I can remember the details of, over on myFlightRadar24 by clicking on the image below.
To-Do List and Upcoming Trips
I have booked trips to the following:
- Morocco
The following map shows countries currently on my to-do list. This list tends to change frequently, and I regularly get distracted by trips to countries not on my to-do list which I end up booking first, so we’ll see.
(On the map in no particular order is Canada, El Salvador, Ecuador (inc The Galapagos), Colombia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone, Togo, Benin, Gabon, Sudan, Nepal, Taiwan, South Korea, Solomon Islands, Cook Islands, and I’d love to go back to Myanmar to see more of the country than just the islands I visited in the south.)
Top of my list would be an overland trip to some of the countries in West Africa, but again we’ll see which I end up booking first depending on COVID, money, trip availability, if anything else distracts me first, or if anything comes off of my to-do list!
