The Country Where I…
| Country where I helped make a new hiking trail in exchange for room and meals.
|
Uganda
|
In the Virunga Mountains near the Rwandan border. |
| Country where I was gifted a Bob Marley CD for Christmas.
|
Israel | Did a gift exchange with local friends on holiday. |
| Country where I caught the flu. | Greece |
Wasn’t bad. Went to a nearby hospital and was treated.
|
| Country where I lost a tooth filling. | Lesotho |
And got a new one there too at the dentist.
|
|
Country where I only have about 5 photos because I ran out of money to buy more film.
|
Zimbabwe | Would like to go back someday. |
| Country where I bartered my hiking boots for a tall wooden giraffe souvenir because I ran out of money.
|
Still
Zimbabwe |
Would like to go back someday. |
| Country where I ran out of money. | Still
Zimbabwe |
Would like to go back someday.
|
|
Country where I got my PADI deep diving certificate. |
Egypt |
But I let it expire many years ago.
|
| Country where I visited for the shortest amount of time. | Japan |
7 hours. Plan to go back someday.

|
Luxembourg | Didn’t have time to stop and stay a few days. |
|
Country where I took a picture standing next to a cow.
|
Switzerland | Though not sure why. |
|
Country where I flew to the wrong airport to visit my friend.
|
Venezuela | Flew to Caracas. Was supposed to fly to Maracaibo. |
|
Country where I found a scorpion in the shared bathroom sink of the hotel.
|
Tanzania | A hotel staff member caught it and threw it outside. |
| Country where I was given a live chicken as a parting gift. | Lesotho |
Right when I was resigned to try and kill and pluck it myself, the mother of a local friend did it for me.
|
| Country where my first meal was Pizza Hut and 7-Up. | Peru |
Because the relative of my travel partner where we were staying thought that’s what we would want. We graciously ate it.
|
| Country where I flew there for free because I won a contest. | Iceland | At the NY Travel & Adventure Show in 2023. |
|
Country where I slept with live geckos on the wall of my hotel room. |
Malawi | Nothing uncommon about that. But still pretty neat. |
|
Country where I ate nearly all cheese on a weekend trip because that’s mostly what was in the stores at the time.
|
Mozambique | The country was recovering from years of civil war and resources were limited. |
|
Country where a stranger let us sleep in his car because he didn’t think it was safe for us to camp outside.
|
South Africa | And the hotel staff let him move his car into the courtyard so they could keep an eye on us. |
| Country where all I ate one day was a whole pineapple. | Uganda |
I was running low on money and didn’t want to waste any pineapple. I might have had some crackers too.
|
| Country where my friend and I got separated in a crowd and did not reconnect until 18 hours later.
|
Mexico |
Before smartphones or mainstream internet. We failed to make a backup plan on where to meet if we got separated.
|
| Country where I attended the most amazing wedding of a friend.
|
France | It was in a chalet in Nantes with unlimited wine and amazing countryside views. |
| Country where I missed the last tram at the top of a mountain and had to walk two hours down the mountain in the dark.
|
Chile | But the roads were paved, there were a few other people, and cell phone reception was good.
|
| Country where I fainted in line at the bank. | Lesotho | People around took care of me. But I still had to wait in line.
