SOMETIMES MY TRAVELS ARE BIGGER AND DESERVE MORE ATTENTION. I’VE WALKED 443KM OF SWEDEN AND BEEN TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD.
THE HIGHEST, DRIEST, COLDEST AND WINDIEST CONTINENT ON EARTH
THE 50 COUNTRIES WHO HOST BOTH THE LARGEST AND SMALLEST NATIONS IN THE WORLD.
WITH 23 COUNTRIES, THE LARGEST ISLAND AND THE LARGEST LAKE IN THE WORLD.
12 COUNTRIES IN SOUTH AMERICA INCLUDING THE DRYEST PLACE ON EARTH AND MOST SOUTHERN CITY.
SOMETIMES THE BEST WAY TO EXPLORE THE WORLD IS TO WALK EVERY INCH OF IT.
- Maria Dahvana Headley
