Bill’s Travels – Where Have You Been?

One of my favorite things is to travel and I’ve set aside a special page just to keep track of where I’ve been (because sometimes I forget).

It’s not about keeping score, I prefer to think of it as a way of reminding myself how much of the world I’ve yet to explore.

“When overseas you learn more about your own country, than you do the place you’re visiting.” – Clint Borgen
