Very cool. Maybe you can share your flight plans along the way. I would like to have some different ideas on where to fly. Good luck!

That's my intent I just completed Russia and will be on my way to Paris after that. I want to hot Israel afterward. Most likely will try and head south to Africa, the UAE and come back north so I can get scandanavia out of the way before heading east to Asia

You could do Seoul to Auckland or Los Angeles to Papeete, Tahiti.

I was going to wait until I get to Asia to plan those. I know I can get to china and japan and there are flights that way but that will be a while
