My Profiles

Travel Map

This a little widget I discovered on Facebook a few years back that can track what places you've visited. I thought about listing them out, but I think it's more fun to see it visually. Plus, now that we visited Russia, it's easy to fill up the map a bit more! (If only they didn't split Canada up into provinces!) I thought about clicking that I want to visit Antarctica, but it just didn't feel right to make the South Pole green. Here's the key to the colors...
  •  Red  - I've lived here.
  •  Blue  - I've visited here.
  •  Green  - I want to visit.
