Returning from Easter holidays in Russia I went and updated "my world". There are many sites that offer ways to do this, but after looking around a bit I've found the one on traveltip.org to be very simple and convenient to use. It's also possible to create a profile that'll save your map so it's easy to log in and update whenever you've been out travelling to a new country.
I realize that I've now been to 1/3 of the world, and looking at the image above it's not hard to see which continent is least discovered on my part. Naturally this has to do with the inaccessibility and instability in most countries in Africa, but I realize that eventually I've got to cross that barrier too if I want to complete "my mission".
Later this year the plan is to finish the little gray area in southeast Europe and for 2015 I've planned on returning to Southeast Asia to clear out India and adjacent countries in western Himalaya. This part of the world has so far been my favorite so I'm very eager about this. Still a long way to go before I'm there, but it's not to early to be dreaming. :-)
To Nikita, Eugene, Anton and the rest of the great crew at Cosmo - thanks for your hospitality, and a good time in Moscow. It was great meeting you all! And to Alyona - thank you so much both for being a great guide, good friend - and providing me with a book to read on the road back to Norway.
