Andy + Geography

As a geographer, I enjoy being aware of the scope and variety of places I’ve been on this wonderful planet. This page contains some personal statistics I find interesting.

This was taken at Parrot Rock, Mirissa, Sri Lanka
(5.941° N 80.462° E). At one point, this was the furthest south I’d been.
