I’ve traveled mostly in Europe (as you can see below) and now I can happily say I’ve been to every country on the continent. At the same time, I’m slowly trying to see farther away places and I currently have 77 countries on my “visited” list.
In most of the countries, I was more than once. In two of them (besides Poland) I managed to live for a few months – both countries, Finland and Germany, were an amazing and valuable experience.
Even if my favorite destinations are Central and Eastern Europe, the Balkans, former Soviet Union, and the Middle East I don’t limit myself to these regions only. There is so much world to see and I’m slowly working my way through it.
Below you can see the map of all the countries I’ve been to. Not all of them are described on this blog as I’ve been traveling way before I started writing about the world. But I’m sure you will find in here some destinations interesting for you too! Happy travels!
Destinations
Dark red – Poland where I live, Blue – where I’ve been and written about, Green – where I’ve been but haven’t written about.

I came across your blog in a search for information about Transnistria and Tiraspol. I am writing this from Tiraspol actually, weeeird but interesting city! What a wonderful blog, your enthousiasme is contagious! Am I correct in assuming you have never visited my Home Country the Netherlands. If not, you are most welcome in Amsterdam!
Keep up this spirit!

31/08/2016 at 12:22Thank you for your nice comment Amber! I’m glad you enjoy Transnistria. It’s weird, isn’t it ;) ?
Actually I was in the Netherlands many times, I have good friends there and managed to see most of the country. It was all before I started to blog so I haven’t really had a chance to write about it. But I’d love to go back, even if only for stroopwaffels ;)

29/09/2017 at 16:40Just curious when you have been in Esfahan. The town is really impressive, the bridges are great, BUT no water in the river, not a single drop :(
Locals told us, the water is diverted most parts of the year to compensate a water shortage in Yazd …
kami
11/10/2017 at 14:48I was there at the beginning of May. I saw pictures of dry bridges, I can imagine how disappointing it must have be to see that!

Thank you for your wonderful information on female solo travel to Iran. It was because of your enthusiasm that I had the courage to travel by myself to Iran in October this year. What a fantastic trip it was. I am very inspired by the information you present. I also visited Poland (my parents’ country) at easter and absolutely loved what I saw. I will be going next time to the areas you suggest. If you come to Australia let me know and I can help you around Sydney.

I am a Turkish guy in Kato, Silesia. I am wondering, would you like to visit my country, Turkey someday. It’s much safer than previously, for sure. Hope to see you writing about my country one day :)
kami
27/12/2017 at 17:44Hi Murat! I’ve already visited Turkey couple of years ago (before the blog) but I was only in Istanbul! I very much would love to visit more of your country, especially the eastern part and Cappadocia, hopefully it will happen soon! I hope you’re enjoying your time in Katowice!

21/10/2018 at 08:08Hi Kami, have been reading a lot of your blogs today! Like yourself I love travelling and also count my countries and its amazing to have these great experiences! I wanted to ask your advice please? What countries are good to visit in Winter? I love European cities in winter and have been to the Baltic states, Poland, and most of the Balkans. I will have two weeks to travel and wanted to ask where you would go!!!! I live in Glasgow so its never easy to get direct flights unless you are going to the popular desitination for us Scots like Spain or Greece!!! But look forward to hearing your comments. Preferablly a new country but a new city would be great too. Thanks Katie
kami
07/11/2018 at 16:13Hi Katie, thank you for your lovely comment. Have you been to Ukraine? Kiev, Lviv and few other cities should be good in winter. I assume Bucharest, Romania (or other cities in the country) aren’t bad either. And I really enjoyed Tbilisi in winter. Hope that helps! :)

25/12/2018 at 16:10Hey Kami, I am from india. You have been close to our neighbouring country China I wish you visit india once. I came across your website when I was surfing for Nazareth, thank you for inspiring me that even with full time job we can still travel around the world. I have been planning for many years to travel. Can you guide me on how to do solo budget travelling, I have started with my country I need to explore the world. I have shared this website link with mother who loves to travel.
kami
27/01/2019 at 14:26Thank you for your nice comment. I really hope to visit India one day. Travelling within your own country first is a good way to start, you can try to save money on daily expenses and then once you have enough you can set off for a trip, even to a nearby destination. Good luck!

04/06/2019 at 09:37Hello.
I am Abderrazak El Yagoubi, a travel addict from Morocco. I have just read your blog about your travels and I must say I was amazed. It’s a great achievement. You have been to almost all the countries of the world. Congratulations. You really deserve a guiness title. I wish you good luck on your next trips.
I’m planning a trip to Poland ( yes you’ve heard right-Poland, your country) next summer with my wife. We’d like to visit Wroclaw ( I don’t know how this name is said) and Cracow. I’m more excited about Cracow. Do you have any advice or recommendations? We’re interested in cultural events, architecture, and fascinating sites.
kami
26/06/2019 at 01:58thank you for your kind comment! I’m happy to hear you are visiting Poland, I hope you will have a great trip! You should join my FB group about traveling in Central Europe, you can ask all the questions there and I’m sure members will give you all the best advice.

30/07/2019 at 19:45We’ve just booked our trip to Bratislava to watch Wales play Slovakia at football in October.
I was so pleased to see a independent blog so far up the list of google results and will be sure to spend more time looking through your posts for inspiration and following you on Instagram.
I love the interactive map – would you mind letting me know where you accessed it? I’ve started my own blog for about 18 months and whilst I only get a handful of views I find it great to remember my memories and share with friends if they are going to written about places!
All the best from Wales,
Chris :)

31/07/2019 at 12:59Thank you! I hope you will enjoy Bratislava! It actually offers much more than it seems at first, it took me a while to warm up to the city but I like it a lot now.
I use a plugin called Interactive World Maps for the map. And I really like how, well, interactive it is :)
All the best and good luck with your blog!

Glad to come across your blog when searching the bus from Lviv to Krakow. I hope that you will have a chance to Asia, especially Thailand, where is my beautiful hometown.
I’m visiting Ukraine and Poland in October.

I am loving your notes here. If you ever come to the USA please let me know if I can be of service!
OR – if you would ever love a travel companion, I will gladly join you somewhere!
I’m currently in Michigan, but going to New Zealand next week. That’s how I found you actually, I read your blog about New Zealand.
I’ve lived in USA, Iceland, Switzerland, and Denmark. I would absolutely LOVE to chat sometime if you’re up for it.
Keep having so much fun! Great work!

06/11/2019 at 22:26Thank you, Lindsay. I usually travel solo but I will definitely get in touch if I go to the US again. Have a wonderful trip to New Zealand, it’s such a beautiful country with the most friendly people I’ve met.

11/08/2020 at 20:04Hello, I am Juan Pablo, a Peruvian guy living in Romania and a keen traveler like you.
I have to say that you have a great blog. I read your articles about my residence country and we do agree it is a fascinating place to explore. It is a pity though that you haven been able to visit Peru. You would love it, not only because of the very interesting historical and natural places but also because of the warm people and the extremely amazing food.
Keep traveling as much as possible considering the current circumstances. It is one of the most amazing experiences for a human being.
All the best.
kami
27/08/2020 at 09:26Thank you! I was actually considering Peru for this year but we all know what happened. Hopefully I will be able to visit soon, I would love to go! All the best and happy travels!

15/02/2021 at 20:08Hi Kami: WOW! You have a load of great experiences and more to come. I’ve been to 92 countries. Singapore is half-way around the world from where I live in America near NYC so a trip around the world is no more complicated than going to Singapore and continuing East or West whatever way you came. BTW, Singapore is great as are so, so many places around the world. The best part is the people. A few bad eggs but mostly wonderful to meet. People will go far out of their way to help a traveler which is nice to know. Just be careful, keep vaccinated and Travel On! .
kami
17/02/2021 at 11:29Thank you for your comment, Bill. Singapore is still on my list. All the best and safe travels!

05/07/2024 at 18:55Hello Kami, do you have any tips for travelling to Andorra and what to do there without a car? I’m considering going there, but I don’t want to to be there witout any cheap option to see some trails.
kami
29/07/2024 at 13:46Unfortunately no. I was there only for a day from Barcelona, by bus, and I found it rather boring. But if you want to go hiking it must be a great destination with all the beautiful mountains around.
