Bonangst Cogagu Carbuta

I'm organizing my travel in trips, chunks of 2-10 weeks of travel in one region or around the world. To differentiate them I come up with original easy to remember names like: Togobinblah, Beguahosni, Romargeaz Soni, all earlier in 2026. For the fourth trip of this year, I had a bad name, Nomadmania 6-11 so last week I decided to change it to Bonangst Cogagu Carbuta. Easy, catchy, logical.

In red, the countries visited on this trip

This whole trip was determined by two events. Okay three. First was Ioan's wedding scheduled for

Two years of retirement. My new job. Not that bright anymore

I retired in May 2024. Earlier that January we decided that we will take a few years, maybe ten, to travel together to all the countries in the world. We started with two very long trips, full of energy and enthusiasm. A third round the world trip described before and a three months trip to Africa and Middle East. Then almost without pause a fourth trip around the world, a “brief” one, with Ioan and his future wife to Korea and China and then alone to Siberia, Mongolia, Belgium and Germany. It was then, on the shores of Lake Baikal that we decided to split our chores, I will travel to all the countries in the world and Ileana will stay home to take care of the important stuff…
