Since I’m in an unusual (for me) travel lull right now, I decided to use the opportunity to do some cleaning up and enhancing of the spreadsheet I use to manage and remember all of my travel. I didn’t start getting serious about it until 15 years ago, so data before then is largely from memory and old family photos. I’m pretty sure I have most of the big trips in there, although it’s very possible the dates are a bit off. Anyways, a few interesting statistics:

  1. Greetings from Suchitoto, El Salvador.

    Nice record keeping. Interesting you made so many border crossings in a random place like Sri Lanka — was that a series of business trips? You sort of have to go there on purpose.

    • Actually, when they still existed, I made very good use of the ex-CMB fares that were out there, and usually ended up spending a night in each direction.

  2. Very cool stats. Is it possible to share your spreadsheet template or how it is set up exactly?
