Looking at this map, I realised a few things:
a) I have only discovered one place in 2005, although I have traveled to fifteen different cities in nine different countries. Appalling.
b) This map is not visualising accurately my travels. In reality, I am traveling from nod to nod (cities to cities or even districts to districts), and not country-to-country. It is a fine difference but I have always had a hard time to telling I have been to Russia when I’ve only been to St Petersburg and Novgorod. What do you actually learn, experience, and understand when you have such a limited exposure to a city, country, and culture? e.g. tour bus trip and tour bus ethnography.
c) I visit over and over the same cities, and I’m drawn back to the places I have lived no matter what I do.
Conclusion, these three behaviours are a pattern that appears consistently in the things I currently do and/or use.
