WOLFGANG'S TRAVEL IN REVIEW: FIVE ERAS

The whole record

Wolfgang's travel, rewound.

Year by year

Trips per year

WorkPleasure

Days away per year

WorkPleasure

Every month since 2008, by days away

One cell per month; darker = more days away. The last column is the year's total, the bottom row each month's total over all years. Hover a cell for the count.

Places

The map is centered on North America, so every route draws in one piece (the flights to Japan go out over the Pacific on the left). Arcs: flight routes (thicker = flown more often); teal: rail. Dots: places you slept, sized by nights.

Most nights

    Countries, in the order you met them

    The United States breaks out by state, in the order you first went: where you slept, stopped or took photos. Airports and the area around Boston don't count. Click the row to fold the states.

                        The holidays

                        Where you spent the evening: the stay that night, else where that day's travel ended; with no trip that day, where you lived (Massachusetts until 2026, then Portugal). New Year's is the night of December 31. Thanksgivings count from 2005, the first year with photos; Christmas and New Year's from 2008, when the record gets dense enough to say where you were. Each bar under the totals is one era: holidays away out of holidays on record.
