As well as loving Poland and bringing you my passionate travel tips, experiences and adventures in Poland, I have also travelled extensively around the world. Being a tourist is nothing new to me – this website and story might be a new project, but it is a spin-off from the titanically ill-fated “Don’t Stop Living“, a blog which told my real life adventure for 9 years (2007 – 2016). Sadly, that previous incarnation is dead and gone. It hit an iceberg and sank, negatively inspired by a travel friend who chose to lie to me, plunging me into deep depression.
Backpacking in Kaliningrad just before Don’t Stop Living ended.
But, I travelled a lot. So much so, that I released a 100 country book on my travels and visited over 1300 towns/cities in over 200 countries across all 7 continents in about 20 years. Here are some links to my stories about countries and places outside of Poland. Northern Irishman Outside of Poland – Moje Podróże Po Całym świecie.

Please note that the places on this list are not only official countries, some are regions, areas, disputed lands, lunatic ideas, wacaday republics etc. – I have branched out beyond simply globel excrement exits definitions of countries, including some states, tribes, groups, micronations and disputed territories. I have also used the flag that I personally deem to represent that place regardless of anyone else’s opinion. This is my personal ultimate list of every country in the world. It’s my website! Happy browsing!
