adventures of a tired coder

People who know me know that I love to travel. At some points in the last few years, it seemed like I was always going somewhere. But when I count, I've actually visited quite a small number of countries: 15.

Here is the list, starred if I really want to experience more of the country:
1. USA
2. Canada
3. Mexico
4. Austria * (Vienna)
5. Belgium
6. France
7. Germany * (Berlin, Romantic Road)
8. Spain * (Madrid + surrounds)
9. Switzerland
10. UK
11. India * (Rajasthan, Kerala)
12. Malaysia
13. Singapore
14. Taiwan
15. Thailand * (Chiang Mai)

So for the rest of the 50, here's a possible list:

I won't even attempt to put priorities on them because that doesn't seem to be how I travel, but these are some trips that have crossed my mind:

• SE Asia Take 2: Return to Thailand (Chiang Mai), Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar (+4 countries)


• Ja: Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland (+4 countries)


• Crossing into Eastern Europe: Return to Germany (Berlin), Hungary, Czech Republic (+2 countries)


• Southern Hemisphere: Australia, New Zealand (+2 countries)


• Machu Picchu and Galapagos Islands: Peru, Ecuador (+2 countries)


• African Explorer/Safari: South Africa, Zambia?, Botswana? (+2? countries)


• Indian Adventure: Return to India (Rajasthan), Nepal (+1 country)


• Motherland: China, return to HK (+1 country)


• Tapas and Outlets: Return to Spain (Madrid), Morocco (+1 country)

Conclusion? There's a lot to see. I don't have a lot of vacation days. And with all of these countries to visit, I don't think I can have kids. :)
