As of January 2017, I had never left the United States, and by January 2018 I had visited eleven other countries. The maps below are built from a list I keep of every country and US state I have visited, colored in blue: drag the year slider or press play to watch them fill in, or click a country to see what I have read by its authors and which concerts I saw there. Photos from the trips are further down.
