Inspired by Dan Romero, who was apparently inspired by Jason Kottke, I constructed a list of all the cities in which I spent at least a night in 2016.
I slept in 28 places in 2012; 28 in 2013; 36 in 2014; 36 in 2015.
This year: 53. Big year.

"It has really been a pleasure assisting you and if it’s not too much to ask from you, moving forward, always see things in a positive light. I know this may seem out of the blue but I just want to share with you how great life is when you look at things positively."

Inspired by Dan Romero, who was apparently inspired by Jason Kottke, I constructed a list of all the cities in which I spent at least a night in 2013. Curious, I went back to my records to see how my 2012 stacked up. Technically, I visited more cities in 2012, but that was inflated by trips to Israel and Argentina.
