People From All 50 States

While this isn't really a 100 country theme, it's similar in seeing where everyone is from. In this week's challenge, let's see if we can find people from all 50 states in the US. I can't even start this one off since I'm in Japan, so all 50 still need to be found. Leave a comment and I'll mark off your state:

First Week Summary

The site is off to a slow start (to be expected since it is new and not many know about it) and have 4 of the 100 different countries - 96 more to go. Still, it's great to have gotten comments even from a few different countries.

If you think about it, even 10 years ago it would have been difficult to do such a thing. A few people from different parts of the world happening by and leaving a post. So we'll keep at it and slowly but surely we should begin adding more countries to our list. Feel free to pass along this to anyone you know and hopefully it will spread around the world.

People From 100 Different Countries

To start, I think it would be great if people from 100 different countries even visited this journal. So leave a comment from where you're from and let's see how long it takes to get posts from 100 different countries. As they come in, I'll add them to this post. If someone has already left a comment from your country, you can still leave a comment if you want. So off we go and let's see how far we can go!

100 Different Countries Begins

Sometimes late at night I get these ideas that seem totally off the wall, but something compels me to try them out and see what happens. This is one of those ideas.

One of my life goals is to travel to 100 different countries. I still have a long way to go to reach that goal, but I started thinking that while I'm trying to reach my goal, what if at the same time I brought 100 countries to me? And thus this journal was created.

I'm still not sure where this journey will lead, how far it will go and who I'll meet along the way, but it should be an adventure and some good fun at the very least. if you happen to drop in on part of it and participate, all the better.

And the journey begins...
