It’s been awhile since I posted a listicle, and there is never enough geography & map knowledge to learn. Is my love of maps related to why I like traveling so much? Perhaps, but I don’t think it’s a direct connection. Once you’ve traveled enough, you realize that the best part of it really isn’t the sights, it’s the people you meet, the food you eat, and the cultures you feel. I’ve seen 7,000 sunsets & rock formations in different places, but I’ll always remember how I felt that time the locals laughed at me (lovingly) while I ate a face-wateringly hot curry in an outdoor market in Thailand.
