Heading out February 4, 2023 and plan to circumvent planet earth as ‘I’ begin another lap around the sun. 34 countries and two new continent landings over the next five months is the goal.

2023 goals include hitting 70 countries visited. And of course to have all seven continents under my belt. I know, lofty goals but attainable if I create a manageable itinerary and stay healthy. (I knock on wood here.)
