As countries are eliminated from the World Cup, I hope they don't disappear from your radar.
Every flag represents a place with its own history, culture, food, music, and people. The tournament may be over for Jordan, Panama, Tunisia, TΓΌrkiye, and my beloved Haiti, but those countries are still worth exploring.
I've been fortunate enough to visit all five, and each one gave me a different perspective on the world.
The World Cup may inspire us to cheer for a country for 90 minutes. Travel gives us a reason to appreciate it for a lifetime.
So don't just watch the matches. Put the destinations on your bucket list. Let's make it happen.
