I retired in 2006 at 53 with a dream to see the world. Now, over twenty years later, I have visited all 193 United Nations countries. I am the most travelled Canadian of all time.
Two travel indexes rank travellers by both quantity and quality. Nomad Mania’s The Biggest Traveller (TBT) weights 18 categories: #11. The Magellan Travel Index started in 2024: 2024 #13 and 2025 #14 in the world.
I describe my low-cost style of travel using vignettes of travel gone sideways.
