Sometimes it's good to be German


We stumbled upon a recent survey called visa restriction index, and learned that it pays off to hold a passport of Germany. Us Germans have the privilege to be able to enter 177 out of 218 countries without visa regulations, or by receiving a visa on arrival. That's our kind of freedom. Having visited a mere 30 of them, we still have a lot to chose from. So many countries, so little time. Well, where shall we go next...?

Kürzlich fiel und eine Umfrage zum Thema Reisebeschränkungen in die Hände. Dabei haben wir erfahren, dass sich der deutsche Reisepass wirklich bezahlt macht. Wir Deutschen haben das Privileg, ohne Visum-Einschränkungen 177 von 218 Ländern bereisen zu können. Freiheit, die wir meinen... Bisher haben wir leider nur 30 davon besucht. So viele Länder, so wenig Zeit. Nun, wo sollen wir denn mal als Nächstes hinfahren...?

    1. I agree, RichardM. Some of the places have either been of little interest to us, or simply lack affordability and / or time...

  2. Richard is right, even I could throw a dart and find an empty spot.

    1. Doug, given my luck in such things, we would end up in some oceanic trench.

    1. I agree, but for some reason I do not want to stray too far from home...
