Everyone knows that I love to travel. But the funny thing is, I’ve never kept count of how many countries I’ve visited — until\u00a0today when #WhereMonicaGoes <\/a>introduced me to\u00a0Matador Network’s\u00a0Travel World Map Generator.\u00a0 Come to find out, my number is 22.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The Travel Sista has been to: Bahamas<\/a>, Brazil<\/a>, Canada<\/a>, Croatia<\/a>, Cuba<\/a>, France<\/a>, Ghana<\/a>, Italy<\/a>, Jamaica<\/a>, Lesotho<\/a>, Mexico<\/a>, Namibia<\/a>, Puerto Rico<\/a>, South Africa<\/a>, Swaziland<\/a>, Turks and Caicos Islands<\/a>, U.S. Virgin Islands<\/a>, United Arab Emirates<\/a>, United States<\/a>, Vatican<\/a>, Zambia<\/a>, Zimbabwe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Considering that there are 196 countries in the world (that number is disputed largely due to political reasons), I’ve only covered about 11% of the globe. But I feel extremely blessed for the opportunity and the amazing experiences I’ve had in each country I’ve visited thus far.\u00a0As Edith Wharton once said, \u201cone of the great things about travel is that you find out how many good, kind people there are.\u201d<\/p>\n

Looking at my travel map, I definitely need to explore more of South America, Asia and Africa. I’ll be visiting several new African countries this year. I\u00a0think 2017 will be my year to go on a tour of Southeast Asia\u00a0and see more of the Middle East. In the meantime, I look forward to plowing down more\u00a0things on my bucket list <\/a>and\u00a0reaching my 6th continent this year – Australia.<\/p>\n
