My parents instilled in me the joy of travelling. They brought my sister and I to foreign lands and never travelled without us. For that, I’m extremely grateful. Even today, I’m still excited whenever I board an airplane or an intercity train/bus … and I’m always looking at the world map, thinking, where should I go next?

According to the United Nations, there are 193 countries in the world. I’ve been to 48 of them (49 if you count Taiwan which is not officially recognized) so I still have a long way to go. For places I’ve recently (re)visited, here are links to the travelogues and pictures.
