For six months in 2019, my friends and family (no matter how loving) rarely knew where I was. They were constantly asking, “Where in the world is Kelsey?” This was my most avid year of travel yet as I worked and traveled full-time following my graduation from Georgetown University. I hope I have the same problem again someday.
However, while travel is on pause with the global pandemic, I’m happy reminiscing about the days when my passport was one of my most-used possessions. If you’re wondering where I’ve been, here are all the countries and cities I’ve visited and the months in which I visited them. Feel free to comment below if you’ve been to some of these spots as well!
