022: Around The World (repeat ad infinitum)

So, where am I going next year then? Leaving aside the distinction between a “nation” and a “state” – one which I will find much entertainment in addressing in future posts and in those nations – the countries I’ll be visiting are as follows, presented in a handy cartographical format:

Dark green is for definitely visiting. Light green is for “maybe if I’m in the area and there’s something cool on and a cheap train or something”. Slovenija is likely because there’s a cool and not unreasonably priced summer music festival happening there, Metalcamp (and I’ve been advised to check out Croatia while I’m in the area because it’s cool and really cheap, for Europe). Greece is highly unlikely – in fact, ruling out a stupid cheap flight from somewhere, it won’t happen) because I’m flying out of Turkey and it’s the only place around that area but it’s still so tempting because the history and the riots and oh god the food Ellada nomz unnnggggg.

Then, in North America, it’s going to look a little like this:

yes i know i accidentally left off Quebec south of the St Lawrence river dwi

Which, way I see it, will give me a good spread of the culture and history – imperial, cultural and musical – of Canada and the United States in the space of three provinces and a dozen states. I’ll be seeing much more than this though – for starters, I’m going to take a cross-continental three-day-and-night Greyhound across Canada, so I’ll get to see heaps of the countryside, including the Great Lakes and the Rockies.
