If you prefer to look at things more chronologically, here is a timeline of my journey from the beginning in 2016.
Even I can get confused about where I was when, and with my blog posts switching between things that are happening now and things that happened years ago, there’s no good way to keep track. This is my attempt at bringing some order to the chaos (though I know this is still confusing).
Anything with a link means that blog posts exist! Anything without a link hasn’t been blogged about yet, but I’m on a slow mission to change that.
The current writing plan is: New Zealand >> Barcelona >> Ecuador/Panama/Costa Rica >> Germany & the rest of the 2018 travels

Here, posts are listed chronologically by posting date.
2016 – March 2018 correspond closely with my actual location.
April 2018 – 2019 are more mixed up. Some posts are current, and others are catching up on the past.
2020 – 2021 are catching up from 2019 travels.
This is probably 0% helpful. But for now, I’ll leave it here just in case I’m wrong.
