My Year in Cities, 2014

Post from December 28, 2014 (↻ December 12, 2016), filed under Adventure.

The story of my 18 months of travel around the world, though not including this article, is available as a big but humble e-book: Journey of J.

This is going to be a bit, lengthy. I told you I had traded activities for locations. Continuing the trip around the world that I began last year, here’s where I went in 2014. (As opposed to former years I’m simply listing all places. Layovers ignored, duplicates removed.)

I’m close to my dear home country. It’s been a long ride.

This is the last post of this series. Life should not be a contest, and I personally feel safe enough now to not present all my compulsions like this. This exempts, however, exploring less superficial and more useful formats as with a sequel to 100 Things, or a book about my 2013–2015 journey.

Impressive list. Supposing you should choose one of these places to live there for 10 years, working and raising a family, which one would it be? Why this one?

That is an interesting question, Stephan! There are a number of places where I could imagine doing that. I’d need to review the whole list to even come up with a short list though. Hard-pressed, I’d pick Istanbul, but I could also see myself choose something in Africa, South America, or Asia. (North America and Australasia are for the time being out of question because of their administrations.)
