Anyway, so I'm actually on country twenty-nine now so I'm pretty sure I'm on target.
Some of the countries I'd love to visit are Germany, Ireland, Maldives, South Africa... In fact, anywhere in Africa with the amazing wildlife.
I thought it would be nice to share the countries I've already visited, and a little highlight of mine from there. So in no particular order (other than alphabetical);

3. Brazil: The most amazing birthday lunch at Porcao Rio's restaurant, overlooking Sugarloaf mountain. Going to a nightclub near the cable cart to Sugarloaf until 6am on the day of my flight home. Spending time with my TT.
4. Cambodia: Spending time with the local children and dancing to 'Gangman style' with them. Seeing beautiful Angkor Wat at sunrise and the majestic horse running running around.
