In 2007 I made it my goal to visit one new country each year for the rest of my life. No excuses. Even if I visit ten countries in one year, I must still make it to a new place the following year.
So far, I have managed to pull it off.
To catch up, I created an additional goal of traveling to 40 countries by the time I am 40 years old. Almost there!
