    It’s just bragging with your privilege.
    There’s nothing really exciting about having visited lots of countries anymore. Just means you have a couple grand to burn each year on flights, and don’t care about the climate.

      There’s plenty of ways to visit countries that won’t involve flying. Some of those quite CO2 neutral.

        Unless you are a pretty serious sailor you’ll struggle with crossing the Atlantic or Pacific though.

          It’s possible to crew for others. When we sailed across the Atlantic ten years ago (on a sail training ship), one of the people on board was for the first time on a sailboat.

            That’s great! What an experience for them. Quite impractical for most, though, I assume. How long did it take you?
