When you look at things in the cold light of day, if you take one vacation every year, you can reasonably assume you can visit maybe 40-50 countries other than your own. As an avid traveler, that’s too sad for me to compute. I don’t want to know that. Knowing that makes it even harder to decide where my next destination should be. So where should you choose?
