    Fab, what a clever way to tackle this A-Z thing! Was thinking you had to do oen post for each letter. Not sure I can allow that eXcellent X though! :)

      Bit if a stretch that X, I agree. What clever alternative could we think out, I wonder… Xylophone (where have you played?)

    You’ve certainly had some amazing adventures, Sophie! I couldn’t agree with you more about the views at Iguazu. :)

      Gorgeous place, isn’t it? One could even say awesome. And be right.

    I enjoyed reading more about your travels. You have had so many! The backyard view in NZ is incredible! I agree about the feeling of imagining what people would have thought so many years ago when unexpectedly coming upon Iguazu or your view in Norway above. I had some special experiences staying with families in the Czech Rep. and like your host mother’s food, their food was so good!

    How about X-Ray: A place more revealing/interesting on the inside than on the outside.

    Your life is amazing! I enjoyed reading your experiences,but I am not sure I can accept eXcellent for the letter X. :) All right, that’s a tricky one, you either could have put X-ray or Xylophone, but hey, in which country do you go to have an x-ray of your xylophone? ;)

    A very interesting tour through the alphabet, Sophie. You’ve done a full few lifetimes of travel, and still have many years to go! Very inspiring — although I’m not sure about the camels and no toilet bit…

    Great list, Sophie, but the image of you drinking too much beer as a 15 year old in Bregenz is causing me concern as my own 15 year old is in the midst of applying for a summer abroad program! :)

      I know very well what you mean, Lisa. Luckily, my oldest daughter was a much more well-behaved teen than I was. Hoping for the best with my youngest…

    Lots of great memories here, I’m sure. Wow.. how was Jordan 20 years ago?? It must have been quite an experience.

      Thanks, Christy. Jordan in the late 80s (more than 20 years, actually… yikes!) was a wonderful experience. I stayed with locals (friends from uni – we still keep in touch) and had the best time. In my experience, Middle Easterners are among the friendliest and most generous people anywhere.

    What a cool backyard view. I would love to ride a camel someday, just to say I did it.

      I think you might even enjoy riding a camel, Scott. A bit like being on a boat in relatively calm water :)

    With regards to Letter “R” – the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg is a great museum.

      I haven’t been in Johannesburg since the 90s. Will definitely add this museum to the agenda for next time. Thanks for bringing it to our attention, Ben.

    Interesting to learn more about you. I would never have guessed that Arabic was your favorite food. I also liked your response about not having a place that you were disappointed in and keeping your expectations in check.

    “Not a place’s fault if I have faulty expectations.” I love this! It is so very true and I will try to live by it more often than I do :) It was great fun reading your ABC list. Unusual food choice though. I can imagine the exotic herbs and flvors. Yum
