Where I've been
I like to keep a list of where I've been, it helps me remember all the great places I visited and to decide where to go next.
I have no prefered country. I loved the geography and nature in most of them but the life is not always as great as the view. I love big, agitated and cosmopolitan cities like Paris, London and New York. A trip in the countryside or in a remote location is also always much appreciated.
We have a little game in my family where the goal is to be the one who visited the most countries. At the moment I'm second (of four), my father being ahead with a large lead but I plan on beating him before I'm 30!
