Where in the world is …

~ MaryG

What have you been working on?

I have been working on improving my understanding of world geography. With all these wars, and constant references to countries like Qatar and Belarus in the news, I wanted to be able to find them all on a map. I mean, I could point to Ukraine and Israel, but not necessarily Jordan, Yemen, or Moldova. I started with Asia and Europe, but I’m also working on Africa, South America, Oceania, and North America. North America is not as easy as you think! All those islands in the Caribbean are different countries. Can you find Barbados on a map?

I’ve tried a couple different apps, but I think I like Map-Quiz the best. It doesn’t make you set up an account and there are no ads! Unfortunately, it seems that it’s only available for iPhone. I’m competitive and wanted to see if I could beat my husband at it, but he can’t find the app in his App Store.

  1. That’s really interesting. I have started paying attention to where people come from, who visit my blog. It has really helped me to understand where they are in the world, and also prompt me to learn a little of their culture. It’s good to explore these things 🙂

    1. Oh wow, you’re right! Your comment prompted me to go look for those stats in my Wordpess account. People from 45 different countries have visited my blog this year. That’s wild! Thanks Paul!

      1. This is true that just a look at the different countries on WP makes us realize we are more the same than different. I find the sentiments expressed are often the same from different parts of the world.
