Travel calender of Troels C. Petersen


When it comes to traveling, I'm almost insatiable, and I do my best to "cover the Earth, before the earth covers me". Discovering new places and people is an enormous joy for me, as it gives me much inspiration and insight... and keeps me young! Traveling is a great way to connect with other parts of the world, and build mutual understanding and interchange ideas.

"Journeys are the midwives of thought. Few places are more conducive to internal conversations than moving planes, ships, or trains. There is an almost quaint correlation between what is before our eyes and the thoughts we are able to have in our heads: large thoughts at time requiring large views, and new thoughts, new places. Introspective reflections that might otherwise be liable to stall are helped along by the flow of the landscape." [Alain de Botton, The Art of Travel]

"Sometimes a journey arises out of hope and instinct, the heady conviction, as your finger travels along the map: Yes, here and here... and here. These are the nerve-ends of the world...
And hundred reasons clamour for your going [...]. You go because you are still young and crave excitement, the crunch of your boots in the dust; you go because you are old and need to understand something before it's too late. You go to see what will happen."
[Shadow of the Silk Road, Colin Thubron]

I've tried to account for the number of countries and places I've visited here.
My goal is to at least go to a new country every year, which so far is going well.
See possible future destinations and journeys.

: I'm going!
: I might be going.
: I'm NOT going!
Writing in bold means living in the place, small means events in that place, and indention means traveling from that place.
Sequential traveling in area is specified in smaller writing underneath.

"One of the gladdest moments in life, methinks is the departure upon a distant journey into unknown lands. Shaking off with one mighty effort the fetters of habit, the leaden weight of routine, the cloak of many cares and the slavery of home, man feels once more happy... The blood flows with the fast circulation of childhood... afresh dawns the morn of life." [Diary entry 2nd of December 1856 of explorer Sir Richard Burton (1822-1890)]
