Visiting Every Country Twice

On the river bank in Asunción, the capital of Paraguay.
After two years of research I have finally finished my book about the world’s 20 least visited countries (titled ‘Nowhere’ and available to preorder in Norwegian, to be released in April). Returning to all of them for research gave me so much. I met people with incredible stories, saw jawdropping sites and sceneries and am now left with countless non-forgettable experiences. It may not come as much of a surprise that I also noticed vast amounts of changes from my first visits.
That made me realize that no country deserves to be visited only once, and I decided to revisit every country in the world. Another reason to do it is that people and places change, just like your hometown and the country you live in. That I have been in a country 15-20 years ago doesn’t exactly make me an expert on it anymore, if it ever did. The changes have been too substantial. Stories and experiences luckily last forever, relevant travel know-how from around the world does not.
I am currently writing this in Paraguay, which means that I have now visited over 95 percent of all the countries at least twice, with only a few ones remaining. Follow my quest to finalize the second round of the worlds countries on Instagram or Twitter and find out whether I will in fact be successful. Some visas are trickier than others, let’s say, and both bureaucracy and cancelled flights have hampered countless travel plans before…
Regardless of progress, I’ll publish photos every day on social media, using #everycountrytwice.
Wish me luck…
I recently checked Sikkim and found the content fairly beginner-friendly. The simple writing style makes the information comfortable to understand. I liked the clear explanations and accessible format.

I recently checked Yaar Win and found the website fairly beginner-friendly. The content provides basic information in an accessible format. I liked the simple explanations and clear presentation. More original articles, detailed guides, and practical information could make the website stronger and more useful for regular visitors.

A thoughtful and deeply personal reflection on Matariki, community responsibility, and the importance of thinking beyond short-term convenience. The discussion around cleaner indoor air and creating safer shared spaces was especially thought-provoking. I also appreciate discovering practical resources like a grams to cups converter that can make everyday tasks a little easier. Thank you for sharing such an honest perspective and encouraging people to keep asking questions and thinking about long-term change.
This was a really informative read. I liked how the writer has kept the language simple while still covering the important parts of the topic. Nothing feels overly technical, which makes it suitable for people who are just getting started. The practical points are also useful and give the article more value. I appreciate the balanced approach and the fact that the content stays focused throughout. Definitely worth reading for a better understanding.

Wow, visiting every country twice is such an awesome goal! I bet the book is amazing. It reminds me that traveling changes us in so many ways, even how we see ourselves. I actually used a Body Shape Calculator https://bodyshapecalc.net/ before a trip to pick better clothes for packing light.
