As of today, 4 June 2019, I have set foot on all 7 continents 🌏🌍🌎

• South America (2013)
• Africa (2014)
• Antarctica (2018)

Fun Facts …

• Africa is the only continent that is crossed by both the Prime Meridian and the Equator ~ It lies in all four hemispheres of the earth (Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western)
• Countries that span 2 continents are: Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, Egypt and Greenland (I have been to the bold countries!)
• There are five main oceans in the world: The Arctic, The Atlantic, The Pacific, The Indian and The Southern
• The deepest known point is Challenger Deep (nearly 7 miles deep) located in the Pacific Ocean

• North America has the largest fresh water lake in the world (Lake Superior)
• South America has the largest salt lake in the world (Uyuni salt flats)
• Europe and Asia are parts of the same major land mass ~ Europe is separated from Asia by the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
• You can dive between the Continental plates in Iceland: Iceland: Diving Silfra

After connecting through Sydney, Australia, I’m on my way to Melbourne and spending a few days with Linda and Barb ~ lovely women I met on the Antarctica 🇦🇶 trip and part of our ship gang!

What next? My friend Michele suggested travel to all the oceans and seas. I may need to map out where I’ve been and where I still need to go! 💦

Happy Travels 💕
