nice web site……. i think u’ll find England and scotland cant be both listed…. all comes under 1 name….. UK or GB
….. in away that Taiwan is also China. and so is Hong Kong….
enjoy
Thanks for your comment! I know that Scotland, Taiwan, and Hong Kong aren’t countries per se, but they have their own parliaments and special administrative status, which is why I list them separately… Taiwan and Hong Kong have their own currencies (the Taiwanese Dollar and the Hong Kong Dollar) which are different and separate from the China’s Reminbi. You also get your passport stamp when entering/exiting Taiwan and Hong Kong, and even if you are a Hong Kong resident (like I was), you still need a tourist visa to enter China! Those are a few of the reasons I consider them separate.. As for Scotland, it used to be an independent, sovereign state in the 18th century, and even if it isn’t any more, it still retains a distinct culture different from England’s… Scotland also has its own flag and its own bank which prints its own sterling banknotes!
Scotland is 100% its own country, fyi.
Oh you left out Dubai! I was planning to go soon so was looking for your posta on it!
You’re right! I forgot to scribble it in! But I’ve written a bunch of posts on my trip there, if you go on the main page and search you’ll find them!
You are an inspiration! I am embarking on a new chapter in my life. After 20 year of working in corporate America I am starting over.I am done with the cubicable farm I would love to work and travel. Do you have any suggestions? i would not not mind teaching. Is a college degree required for these opportunities?
I absolutely LOVE your site. Recently I’ve been considering traveling solo and you’ve given me a great push. Do you have any suggestions for a first-timer solo international trip? I’ve considered a tour group but they seem so expensive.
Thanks Akesha! I recommend trying to meet up with other solo travellers while on your trip. A good way to do so is to check out travel forums specific to your destination to see who will be there to connect with. Lonely Planet Thorn Tree forums are amazing for meeting up with other travellers
Any travel tips on Cuba?? I shall be travelling there next Nov and I was a bit confused on how to spend my 15 days as the island is bigger than I imagined, so I thought of focusing on one half of the island. Is that a good idea or not?
Honestly I went over 10 years ago and spent nearly all of my time on a resort on Cayo Coco island! I’ll have to go back to see Cuba properly!
You have inspired me to do this. I couldn’t picture someone who looks like me doing this. I love this BLOG! Do you have a book on the way?
Awww!! Thanks so much!! No book.. yet!
Wow, I’ve only read a few posts of your blog and I’m hooked.
I’ve been to a few countries myself (about 9 so far) and I really want to add a lot of the ones that you have on your list. I find myself walking down the suitcase aisle in almost any store I go to just to see what’s the latest in suitcases.
My main question is, how do you find the extra time/cash to travel like you want to?
I’m not sure I’d make a great language teacher since I only speak english. (Like most Americans) But I am great at research and finances.
Oh, also have you heard of these three friends who call themselves ‘The Lost Girls’? They left their careers in NY to travel the world for one year!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You’ve been to some of the places that I’ve always dreamed of going…like Croatia, Argentina and the Philippines…do you have posts up on them? I can’t wait to have my list be this big!
What’s your favorite thing about travelling?

Wow! Your awesome! It’s great to see another black female traveler like myself. But my journey has only just began. So far I’ve been to Germany, France, Haiti, Bahamas, Thailand, South korea, and of course the USA where I was born. You are truly and inspiration!
