As part of my annual review series, I’m looking back at everywhere I went in 2009. It’s a long list!
Let’s kick it off with an observation that’s either interesting, awesome, or troubling (I can’t decide which): when I started writing this post, I had trouble remembering all the places I went this year. I had to go back to old calendars, itineraries, boarding passes, and even my much-loved passport to figure it out.
***
For better or worse, I certainly got around the world a few times. In rough chronological order, here’s everywhere I went in 2009:
Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong (x3), Laos, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Qatar, United Kingdom, Mauritius, South Africa (x2), Namibia, Mozambique, Swaziland, Haiti, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Dominican Republic, Cook Islands, Bolivia, Peru, Columbia, Chile, Ecuador, Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Nepal, Bhutan, Indonesia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia
Additional transit stops were made in airports such as YVR DEN FRA ICN LGA ATL POS LAX LHR (and so on) Last year’s list, if you’re curious, is over here.
Domestic Trips
Since I’m overseas so much, I try to keep domestic trips to a minimum. This year I made it to New York City, Washington, Los Angeles, San Diego, Austin, and Salt Lake City, but the rest of the time I stayed home in Seattle (January and February) and then Portland (March-onwards).
Even though I don’t like trips at home as much as trips abroad, I’m beginning to see the need for more domestic travel for various business meetings. Next fall will also have a substantial amount of domestic travel for my book tour, but we’ll cross that bridge when the time comes.
Experiences
Fun things (and misadventures) happen almost everywhere I go, so you’d have to read the whole year’s worth of travel archives for the whole story. I’ll assume you won’t torture yourself that much, so here are a few highlights:
- I took my first sponsored trip, with Air New Zealand picking up the tab to send me to the Cook Islands. (I’ve turned down two other offers since then. I’ll happily work with the right company at the right time, but the other offers didn’t feel right.)
- I was nearly deported from Saudi Arabia upon arrival. It wasn’t pretty, and I’m glad it’s all over. No offense (again) to our small contingent of Saudi Arabian readers; it just wasn’t my kind of place.
- I completed my visits to all of South America. I know it seems like a small continent, but there are a few out-of-the-way countries down there, especially Bolivia, Paraguay, Suriname, and French Guiana.
- I achieved the trifecta of airline elite status, racking up Platinum (or equivalent) status with OneWorld, Star Alliance, and SkyTeam. Woo hoo! Note that two of these statuses were earned through an airline status match. The only airline I fly enough to actually earn the top-tier status is American.
- I continued my style of varying travel experiences as much as possible, flying Lufthansa First Class on a Star Alliance award and being delivered directly to the plane in a Porsche — then taking a 15-hour Soviet train from Baku to Tbilisi. I love both kinds of travel and wouldn’t have it any other way.
- I slept on the floors of a few airports, but old age (I’m 31 and getting older by the minute) and travel fatigue is starting to wear me down. For better or worse, this year I slept in JFK (awful), Singapore x2 (not bad the first time, not good the second), and Hong Kong (easy). Those are the ones I can remember, anyway.
Friends and Readers Along the Way
One of the fun things about my unconventional life is the chance to meet friends and readers in various stops along the way. This year I met up with Rachael in Amman, Daniel in the Dominican Republic, Naomi in England, Ryan y familia in Lima, Emily + crew in Santiago, Haider in Kuwait, Sarya in Cambodia, Cody + Dwight + Brooke in Bangkok, and Sondra in Rarotonga.
(These meetings are in addition to the bigger group meetups we’ve been doing — so far in Portland, Los Angeles, San Diego, New York, and Washington, D.C.)
The Quest to Visit Every Country
The total number of countries visited is now 122. I use the U.N. standard, not one of the inflated lists that includes various islands and other “non-countries.” By the inflated list standard, my total would probably be around 150.
So far along, but yet so far to go – the closer I get to the goal, the harder it becomes. Looking ahead to the travel plans for 2010 will require a completely different post (coming in early January), based on at least a dozen hours of plotting itineraries.
How Much Does It Cost?
As best as I can tell from bank withdrawals and credit card statements, all of these trips cost approximately $16,500 this year. Whenever I write about money, I’m always hesitant because I know that some people consider this kind of spending extravagant. For me, any kind of spending is about making deliberate choices and understanding what I value.
Anyway, I was actually afraid of tallying it up for a while, but now that I look at the list and remember all the trips, I’m pretty happy with $16,500. I expect the annual bill may go up a bit more as Round-the-World tickets keep getting more expensive and I have to get to more and more remote destinations, but I’ll just try to keep making progress by taking it one country at a time.
Another guy I know who went to every country in the world spent nearly a million dollars after selling a successful business. I don’t begrudge his success or think he’s a bad guy for doing it that way, but I’m also happy that my total travel spending since I started the journey around country number 50 is still way under $100,000.
On Travel and Tiredness
When I read through the above list now, it all looks overwhelming. I always point out to people who ask that I’m actually home for much more than I’m away, and this fall I even stayed in the country for two full months so I could finish writing the AONC book.
Most importantly, though, I’d rather be tired doing something I love than be perfectly healthy and well-rested by not pushing myself so much. It’s just who I am, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
***
QUESTION: I’m going to ask where you’ve been this year, but I know
that some people are going to feel like their list isn’t as exciting as mine. Please allow me to preempt this statement if possible: IT’S OKAY. 
First, I’ve been doing this for a while, and I know that not everyone is as travel-crazy as me. Second, our group is diverse and international. Some people travel a lot, some travel a little, some live abroad, and some stay at home all the time. It’s all good.
So… where have you been this year?

With all these people following you on here you should have found a couch to crash on when at JFK! Next time shoot me an e-mail! Couch is always better then the airport floor!

I’m from the Philippines, and in 2009, I traveled abroad for the first time.
Last June, I went to Bangkok, which was AMAZING. Loved the über spicy food, the non-polluted streets at day, the mysterious shadows at night, the elephants, the thousands of wat (temples), and the randomness of our hostel (suk11). A month after, I went to a local beach, Boracay. It’s everything the tourist sites say it is.
I’m planning to visit the rest of the Asian countries in 2010, and hopefully, I’ll save up enough to visit Italy in 2011.

Unfortunately, my only experience outside of my hometown this year was to attend my grandfather’s funeral in Arizona. A reflection upon this, alongside my own goal to see (most) of the world at large, was instrumental into getting me fed up with my 9-5 lifestyle. I am 24 years old and I have never been out of the country.
Unacceptable! One of many footsteps that has lead me to this site.
Thank you, Chris, for doing what you do.

I live in Germany and these are the places I’ve been this year:
Switzerland, Austria (2x), France, Italy (2x), Spain, Kazakhstan (2x) Russia (Transit only)
Have you ever been in Kazakhstan? Don’t go in Winter, – 30 ° Celsius, that’s not fun..
I love your blog and also wanted to say thank you for the insights in your Annual Review – it’s a great idea and I will take one or two days off within the next two weeks to review my year and make plans for 2010 – where I will, fortunately, be enjoying trips to Europe, Asia and USA – having a great time and following your advice on earning miles.
Enjoy the holidays!

I’ve been living in Beijing for just over a year, and have been blessed with plenty of opportunities to combine exploration with my work as a musician. My domestic travel has included:
Dandong (on the border with N. Korea – fascinating place. My first longhaul train ride – 14 hours)
Tianjin (4 hours by car when your driver gets lost – not long but feels much, much longer when your agent has hired a van that fits six – and you’ve got seven. I drew the short straw and had one cheek hovering over thin air for the whole trip)
Xi’an x2 (Central China. Had my first encounter with food poisoning on the second occasion, not long before we were due to leave. Not the best flight I’ve ever had)
Internationally, just two trips back home to Canberra, Australia. I made the most of the second trip and spent some time in Melbourne, Druoin, Jervis Bay and Sydney.
I’m really enjoying reading your thoughts on travel and unconventional living. There’s always a free couch here in Beijing if you need it!

This year I went to England and Scotland with my wife and a few good friends. I’m a photographer so I was busy following the light.
I enjoy traveling but I also love my home area (San Francisco) so I feel like it’s a win/win deal.

Your list is amazing for the year! Keep it up!
I went on my first solo trip for 6 weeks to Peru and wandered into Bolivia near the end of it. I also went to Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin a few months later.
It’s great when you get laid off and take the time to do some things that you always wanted to do!
Cheers!

This year was kinda sad on the travel front. I only made it to Belgium and Iraq. Hopefully next year will bring more travel, especially to Africa and perhaps Latin America. I still need to make it to Colombia and Argentina

Chris, I very much enjoyed this summary of your travels during 2009 as I enjoy all your posts about your travels. It’s interesting to see where other people have been this past year as well. I read far more about travel than I actually get to go but I’m working on changing that slowly.
Domestic…
- Ohio (Canton, Sandusky, Newark, Byesville)
- West Virginia (Snowshoe)
- North Carolina (Mars Hill, Brevard, Rolesville, Wilmington)
- South Carolina (Myrtle Beach, Greenville, Sumter)
- Georgia (Atlanta)
- Florida (Orlando, Tampa, Miami)
Abroad…
- Mexico (Cozumel, Mahahual)
- Belize

Quite an impressive list, Chris. That’s a ton of countries for a lifetime, let alone one year! Your travel is inspiring and I am grateful for all of the awesome information you’ve shared here all year.
Not sure I’ve ever done this, but what a fun exercise. I think this was about an average year of travel for me. Some business, some pleasure. Due to limited vacation time, most travel is domestic US East Coast. Here goes…
Costa Rica; Norfolk, VA (4); Cabo San Lucas, Mexico; St. John, USVI; Newport, RI; San Francisco; Houston; New Orleans; Florida (end of this month)
Lined up for 2010:
My wedding in St. John, USVI followed by honeymoon in Thailand!

not so far – 2008 was exciting – then we went around in France for two weeks
and one to come as I will visit my family in Småland, south of Sweden over Xmas.
and I was also in Miami for a few days. This year I’ve been to Brighton UK, Archipelago of Stockholm and to Gothenburg – three longer travels.
A little note – right now in Brussels, Belgium we have about 10cm of snow and -4c, all of it fell down yesterday afternoon and evening. The sunshine in the morning turned the landscape totally fantastic. Not even last year when we had another snowfall like this in begin of December did it last this nicely because then half of it had melted away before it froze. I’m loving every minute of it!

@JJ Funny you should mention “couch to crash on”. I had just been checking out couchsurfing.org!
It’s exciting and inspiring to read all the travels mentioned here. We have not travelled much for years and took a trip to Las Vegas this year. We also travelled to the Black Hills of SD and even more locally to Medora, ND. These are not big deal trips to us as they are close and we have family in the magical Black Hills. There is something to returning to a place like that over and over. You find things you never would on a quick tourist trip.
In the coming year we already have plans for a couple domestic trips and are hoping to travel to France in a couple years. Thank you all for sharing your travels. It reminds and inspires me that I can reach my goal of being able to travel freely.

Love your posts Chris and really looking forward to you visiting Australia. This year has been domestic for me too. In our family travelling also includes looonnnng road trips and camping.
So far we have camped 3 times, two trips to outback Australia and last week we drove from Brisbane to Sydney (12 hours with 1 hr break). I flew back but the rest of the family is doing the trip today.
2010 is starting big with a relocation to Sydney, a possible trip to Perth and a trip to Carins/Port Douglas – all before March!
Happy holidays to all and look forward to reading about everyone’s travels and ideas in 2010!

This year I left Montreal to go to France (Provence), Spain (Barcelona), England & Wales. I’m going to Las Vegas & Death Valley (hiking!) next month. I didn’t plan this and Vegas was never a priority on my list of places to go to but an unexpected invitation from one of my best friends seemed like an opportunity to create great memories! Also planning to go to Thailand next winter. So far my favorite destinations have been Barcelona and the islands of Hawaii.

Took my first trip out of the US to the Dominican Republic. Went with our church to do some missions work with a local Dominican pastor who we support. It was one of the best experiences in my life to date!

This year I was in Myanmar (month of January); Taiwan X2 (including 3 weeks of house sitting my friends 7 dogs); Malaysia (Penang and Langkawi); Thailand X 2 (
Chiang Mai/Bangkok/Koh Chang). The one new country for me in 2009 was Myanmar.
I’m happy with what I did travel wise in 2009.
BTW……………..I’d like to be 31 again

Not far this year – just explored more of my home state of Western Australia. I visited some out of the way, tiny places where few people think of going, and found joy in the unexiting and overlooked.
Travelling far is great, but when the budget gets downsized its nice to know the pleasures of exploring new places can be experienced locally too.

Hey Chris – thanks for the roundup…always great to see & read what you’re up to and where you’ve been. 2009 seems like it was a fab adventure.
This past year was Argentina, Costa Rica, Peru, London … and a number of small domestic trips. Probably a less exciting travel year than previous years (in terms of trip volume), but all of my experiences were great. Next up – Morocco and Geneva before June. I’d also agree with Graham on exploring locally – now that I’ve moved back to NYC, I’m trying to be a bit of a tourist and explore all the things I haven’t before.

I live in Beijing too. (I hang out with Australian Nick from above). Love the site for the travel info and the do-it-yourself encouragement.
This year my wife and I have been to Thailand (Bangkok, Chiang-mai, Koh Tao) and America x2 (L.A., Denver, Minneapolis, Des Moines, Eau Claire WI).

Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Slovenia, Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Croatia and Bosnia in August;
Cambodia in October;
and I will finish the year in Cambodia and Thailand before kicking off 2010 in Brunei and Bangladesh

I spent 6 months living in London. While there I visited Wales, and the Cotswolds and Dorchester and some other areas of the British countryside. I had a ball. Other than that in 2009 the rest of my time has been spent in my usual locales: New York City, the Hamptons on Long Island, and Maine (I live in the first one and have family in the latter two).
This year I hope to attend a friend’s wedding in Hong Kong. It’s very cool to hear about all of your travels. I would love to do more traveling in my lifetime. Right now my focus is on building my career here in NYC but I intend to continue to have travel be part of my lifestyle while I do that, and then hopefully when things are really underway I can do a whole lot more traveling.
Thanks for your great blog, and Happy New Year!

First – what an amazing list and year. Congratulations to you, Chris, on completing such a circuit and fulfilling so many goals.
This year as a college student without conscious grandiose travel plans like I have now:
New Orleans LA
Taiwan (Various cities and regions)
Penghu Islands, Taiwan
Harbin, China
Xiamen, China
Beijing, China
thanks to you, Mr. Guillibeau, I now have grandiose travel dreams and will try and up this a good bit for 2010.

2009 has found me half-way through my year in Tehran, Iran. I just returned from a short trip to Turkey.
I don’t know where I’m headed next, but there’s more adventures to be had, I’m sure. Travelling really does show you a lot about yourself.

Amazing year for you, Chris! My only trip this year was early in the year (January) to two of my favorite places in the States – Jackson, WY and Virginia City, MT. Both have beautiful scenery and friendly people. My fiancé and I met up with my son and had a great week of snowmobiling and just spending time around the fireplace. I’d also love to travel abroad, but would love to visit all 50 states as well. Thanks for your continuing inspiration!

I lived in Bangkok, Thailand from January 2009 until late November 2009. In Thailand I visited Krabi, Hua Hin, Chiang Mai, Phrae, and Chiang Rai during that time. I also got to visit Penang, Malaysia and Singapore. I walked into Myanmar (Burma) for about ten minutes for a visa run but I’d like to go back to explore Myanmar some, go to Laos and Cambodia, travel through Malaysia and back to Singapore, and spend some more time at the islands in Thailand (Ko Tao, Ko Samui, Ko Chang, Ko Samet).
I also want to go to China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau after studying Mandarin Chinese to a greater extent and to one day study Aikido in Japan and Modern Arnis in the Philippines.

Copenhagen twice (once with my husband for our 15th anniversary), Hamburg (I think also twice but I can’t remember), London, Vienna and Krakow. Then came the big one: the trans-siberian journey I’ve been dreaming of for over 20 years! We started in St. Petersburg and from there went to Moscow, Suzdal, Kazan, Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Irkutsk and Olkhon Island on Lake Baikal. This was all by train (with the exception of a few bus side-trips)– almost all third class sleeper. From there we went to Mongolia, where we had a 5 day trek (it was getting cold, otherwise it would have been longer). Then on to China– Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Kunming. We had planned to spend some time in Yunnan province, which everyone raved about, but it was too cold, so we caught a flight to Vientiane, Laos, and out of Laos from Luang Prabang to Hanoi. From there to Hue, Hoi An, Nha Trang and Saigon. From Saigon we caught a bus to Phnom Penh and then went to Angkor Wat. Best trip EVER! Truly!

Chris, I’ve told you this before: You are an inspiration! Your stories–good and bad–are so gripping. You write very well. Also, as a frugalista myself, I’m impressed that you have done what you have this past year for only about $1100/month. For some people, ONE TRIP would cost them at least that, so kudos there! There are so many options for frugal travel and frugal lodgings. I’ll bet you could cut your bills even further, if you had to.
I also count you very fortunate that you are able to live this way. I get to experience the world vicariously via your stories, and that’s OK with me, for now. My own situation does not allow for much travel, and going out of the US would be very difficult and expensive for me and my boyfriend. We have arrangements we’d have to make for care of our home and pets, for instance.
That said, we usually go to New England at least once a year to visit my boyfriend’s family. We spend a week, more if we are able. I enjoy it very much…

…Continuing…
In addition to that, we try to take a 3-day weekend and go to a B&B somewhere within a couple of hours of our home in Maryland every February. That’s our (dating) anniversary. We go to the mountains or the Eastern Shore of Maryland. These weekends are very tranquil, and as a bonus, they usually yield some photos that I put up for sale.
Happy holidays! Looking forward to following your blog further!

@Scott Bravard: I’m really glad that your visit to DC was a good one. I grew up in this area, and I consider myself a Washingtonian, rather than a Marylander. (I live in Maryland.)
DC is truly a magical city, on so many levels. It is a beautiful place.

This year I spent 9 months traveling through Europe on my bicycle (and working remotely as I hopped about).
I biked through Switzerland, France, Germany, Liechtenstein, Austria, Slovakia, Slovenia, Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia, Greece and Turkey.
I’m currently planning my travels for the coming year. After such a great year of travel in 2009, there’s no way I’m staying at home and sitting on my butt in 2010.

I started out the year in Minnesota, where I grew up, and moved to Florida in March. In September, I traveled with my boyfriend and his parents to St. Louis, MO, by car. His parents live in Georgia, so we were there a few times, and once drove across the Savannah River into South Carolina.
This morning we arrived home from a road trip to Minnesota to see my family for the holidays (and where it will be snowing very heavily over the next few days, so I’m glad we went early). We drove through several states on the way up, and altered our route back to change it up a bit.
2010 should see us going to Canada, which will be my first international trip. My boyfriend is a seasoned traveler, having grown up as an “Army brat.”

Since I’m saving up to move and live in Spain for a year (fingers crossed), I’ve tried to save instead of travel in 2009. I did take a trip to Washington D.C. with my dad, who had never been there before and LOVED it, went to San Francisco several times and went to Lamoille Canyon, outside of Elko, Nevada for a work event. Lamoille Canyon is a quiet version of Yosemite. Beautiful!

Last March, I touched down in Asia for my first time. I flew to Hong Kong and stayed over at a friend’s place for the 8 or 9 days that I was in Asia. I visited Shenzhen, China, for a day as well as Macau. For the rest of the time, I was in Hong Kong. I visited the Lantau Island, Aberdeen, Stanley, Sai Kung, as well the central areas of Kowloon and Hong Kong Island.
Last May/June, I visited the final province of Canada that I have not visited: Newfoundland. I went there for a 2 or 3-day conference and had two days to visit around the old town of St. John’s and parts of the Avalon peninsula.
Last July and August, I did a bunch of local trips in southern Ontario: a weekend in Stratford, a cave call Hell Holes, another cave call Warsaw Caves, and two beaches near my home.

In 2009 I went to New Orleans, Louisiana and Dayton, Ohio. I *highly* recommend the Dayton International Airport. I don’t have the opportunity to travel a lot but I have been to several airports both domestic and abroad and DIA is the best. IMHO they should win some type of award! Near the baggage claim area they have food kiosks so while you are waiting for your ride to arrive you can get something to eat.

Made my first two international trips this year. Dream-come-true for me – since I was little, I wanted to travel like my mom did.
I spent two weeks in South Korea (Seoul) and four months in Europe (studying). I lived and travelled in Spain (Sevilla, Madrid, Barcelona, Granada, Carmona, Aracena, Valencia, Cordoba) while also making stops in Italy (Rome), France (Paris) and Portugal (Lagos).
Thanks for the inspiration this year!

My husband and I spent 9 weeks beginning in Hong Kong, China, Tibet, Nepal, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam. We have visited 40 countries. BTW, we are both in our late 50′s and still working at the same jobs we have had for close to 40 years but would love to give it up and do what you are doing. We think it is never too late!

All domestic: Nevada, Calif., Utah, Idaho, Montana, Washington, Oregon. Not very impressive except for the great family members we visited. We take care of my wife’s’ 93 year old mother so harder to get away for now. Have to count on her brother and sister coming for a few weeks to watch her. Up until two years ago she traveled with us.
We still have memories of living in Beirut, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and American Samoa. We had a better experience in Saudi Arabia than you did Chris. Say a lot of ancient history and good Arab friends. 50′s were a great time. I spent three days in Rome on my way home from High School.
I love to hear about your adventures.
