Welcome to Ismondiatravels of UN+193

I am an elderly (born in 1944 but still going strong!) global male traveller, who is a member of the UN+193 group of Nomandia travel club. My global travel history is long, started already in 1955 in my home country Finland and continued by going abroad for the first time in 1960 (Sweden and Denmark).

I have managed to visit all the UN 193 countries plus four other similar type of countries (The Holy Sea/Vatican City and Palestine as observer states of the UN plus Taiwan and Kosovo) in 2011. According to this I have visited four former countries, which were at their time UN members (USSR 1967, Czechoslovakia 1969, GDR 1972 and Yugoslavia 1973).

I have also visited all the so called frozen or non-independent countries, which have declared unilaterally their independence (Somaliland 2007, Western Sahara 2012, Northern Cyprus 2013, Transnistria 2013, Abkhazia 2014, Nagorno Karabakh 2014 and South Ossetia 2017). I don’t count the similar type of regions of Luhansk nor Donetsk in Ukraine due to the ongoing aggressive and brutal war by Russia.

I have been in less than 500 places of the Nomandia main list, but I have never had possibilities to take it seriously and now I have actually stopped global travelling due to many reasons. All my travels are active in my mind and give me still a lot of satisfaction. Please find my travel history in the enclosed file and enjoy it together with me!

My last innovation is the list of visited larger islands, archipelagos and smaller peninsulas of the world. Nobody knows how many are them, but so far in my visited list I have 177 and some more in my plans for the next year. Please find this exctra and special list of mine in the enclosed two files.

Thank you for coming to Ismondiatravels and have a safe, enjoyable and mobile life!
