Frequently Asked Questions
How do I afford to travel so much?
I make travel a priority in my life. Instead of spending a lot of my money on materialistic items, I prioritize using that money instead on curating travel experiences for myself. I have also been fortunate to be able to save up a hefty sum of money with my previous employer.
Is making it to every country in the world even achievable?
There about been about 500 people who have successfully achieved it, so it might be possible. However the odds are low due to numerous factors. One of which being right now my passport will not allow me in every country in the world. Also current safety concerns of certain countries will delay my chance of going. I’m hoping that those factors will change for those certain countries sometime over my life to give me the chance to complete it.
What are my expectations to get out of this website?
There aren’t any besides building up my creative outlet and for have a place to store memories and moments from my life and travels.
What is The Country Critic about?
The Country Critic is a personal travel blog and global ranking project where I visit every country in the world and give each one an honest, experience-based review.
I focus on what it’s actually like to travel through each place—highlighting the culture, people, food, safety, scenery, and overall vibe. Unlike typical travel blogs, I go beyond “top 10 things to do” lists and offer real, comparative insights based on firsthand experience.
You’ll find:
- Country rankings and reviews based on specific travel categories
- Custom itineraries and planning tips
- Underrated destinations worth your time
- Stories, reflections, and hard truths about travel
Whether you’re planning your first trip or trying to decide where to go next, The Country Critic is here to help you travel smarter—and maybe even differently.
