I was sitting at the computer today killing some time before we head out to dinner, when I remembered one of the items on the 52 in 52 list was the following:

14    Learn to locate major countries on a map. (By scoring a minimum of 125,000 in http://www.travelpod.com/traveler-iq/game1)

Why not kill some time by trying to accomplish my first 52 in 52 item?! I’m so proud to say that after 5 attempts, I have managed to beat the score.

My 5th attempt to get a good score on the online quiz

If you had asked me to try and point out Bolivia, Sweden, or even Dubai on a map I would have probably looked at you blankly and then just randomly selected a spot on the globe. Thanks to the game, I have actually learned the locations of these places, and more. I still think I should visit this game every now and then just to increase my knowledge of geography, since it’s clearly lacking.

At least I knew where Sydney was!
