Hi, my name is Jacob Sherman, and I have a goal of visiting every country in the world. I’ve been into traveling ever since I was a young boy. I was lucky enough to have parents with jobs that allowed them to travel with me and my older brother every summer, all across America!

It became tradition to start counting our states visited, and from the time I was in elementary school I wanted to turn that into every country. By the time I was only 10 years old, I had already been to over half of the US states. I ended up making it to 50 by age 19. At that time, I only had visited 2 countries outside the US: Canada and Australia. Now, at age 22, I’m at 13 non-US countries.

I graduated with a degree in anthropology, and while I am not currently pursuing any related jobs, it has allowed me to see the world in a new and unique light, which has shaped the way I look at places and people. I’ve learned that some of the best experiences happen off the beaten path – when you slow down, talk to locals, and stay curious. You might stumble along the way, but you will find hidden gems and amazing people.

Oh, and thank you for being here! I’m excited to share all my adventures with you, present and past, as I learn how to become a blogger. I will make mistakes along the way, but I’m ready to take this journey and present what I learn as I go! And I hope to convince you to come with me, leave your bubble and explore – there’s a big world out there, so let’s check it out!
