33 Countries (Updated Itinerary)
Sometimes in life less is actually more. The world is enormous and it would take 1000 of these trips to see it all. Thus, I’ve managed to narrow our magnificent voyage from 42 to 36 to 33 potential countries. Hopefully with additional research this drops to a more manageable 30.
Below is an outline of the planned countries. This is a fairly accurate schedule but if you are planning on meeting up please check back frequently for updates. If we know you’re going to be in a below location near these dates, we’ll plan on being there regardless.

World Domination Part Deux – Preliminary Itinerary
Jay worked tirelessly on the itinerary, hacking it into shape in true .org fashion. I think he must have bypassed just about every One World regulation, in order to squeeze in as many countries as possible. About the only country not on the agenda is Russia due to their lame visa requirements. But who knows, maybe we’ll sneak in across the Mongolian border or something. It can’t be much harder than getting into Club Pure on New Years!
Here is the initial 20-flight itinerary, and does not include the many countries we plan to visit in between via trains, boat, cars, helicopters, hang-gliders, hot-air balloons, surfboards, and rickshaws.
- Los Angeles -> London
- London -> Barcelona
- Barcelona -> Madrid
- Madrid -> Cairo
- Cairo -> Helsinki
- Helsinki -> Hong Kong
- Hong Kong -> Shanghai
- Shanghai -> Tokyo
- Tokyo -> Bangkok
- Bangkok -> Singapore
