Revision as of 23:17, 11 December 2016
I have traveled the world quite a lot in my life. I love to travel and usually go out of my way to visit a new country or place. I call this collective habit my "World Travels".
Definitions
First, let me define how I categorise the countries I have been to. This is necessary because I have stayed for variable lengths of time in many countries. It is a somewhat arbitrary distinction, however, it will help me categorise my World Travels.
Below is how I define my stay in countries:
- Countries I have lived in
- any country I have stayed in for at least six months
- Countries I have stayed in
- any country I have stayed in for at least one month but less than six months
- Countries I have visited
- any country I have stayed in for at least one week but less than one month
- Countries I have traveled to or through
- any country I have stayed in for less than one week
