#travel desire

Last September in Trinidad I celebrated having visited my 50th country and wrote a post (find it by clicking here) listing the nations I’d been to and linking to some stories I had shared about them. 

This weekend I’ve hit the next interval with Cyprus being my 60th country!

Here are the places I’ve been in the past 8 months that have gotten me from 50 to 60:

50. Trinidad and Tobago

51. Puerto Rico (some people might not count this since it is technically part of the U.S, but as it is not a State and has a very different culture, I do)

52. St. Kitts and Nevis

53. South Africa

54. Namibia

55. Zambia

56. Botswana

57. Saudi Arabia

58. Qatar

59. Egypt

60. Cyprus

I’ve also revisited a few countries in the meantime: Rwanda, Tanzania, and the UAE.

It has been interesting to see the number continuing to increase, especially as I am realizing that more and more I’m feeling inclined to visit familiar places again.  I decided to move back to the UAE, want to spend more time in Tanzania, and am thinking of visiting family in Germany and friends in Israel.  Of course, there are many new places I want to see- and hope to get to them sometime soon!  It will be an interesting balance to see how I spend my future travels.  I’ll keep you updated : )
