I LOST COUNT.
That's what I'd tell friends when they ask me "So, how many Provinces to go before you complete your #Project81PH?"
When I started my journey back in 2017, I'd intently tally all the Provinces I've visited; I'd even find myself revealing the Provinces I've recently visited in my scratch map right after every trip. But as time goes by and as responsibilities pile up, I lost count. It is only when I thought about sharing my journey here that I spared few minutes to finally get the numbers straight.
In my last post, I promised to talk about where I'm currently at in my #Project81PH journey. And as confirmed by the data below, I've definitely traveled forty-one (41) out of the eighty-one (81) Provinces of my beautiful country, the Philippines. Yup, that's half of the Philippines! ❤️
I badly want things to be organized and I just crave to put a system where a system needs to be in place (including posting in Hive).
To help readers understand the bigger picture of things, I've created an introductory post a few days back about my #Project81PH journey. In my introductory post, I talked about the following:
(1) What is #Project81PH?
(2) How I ended up dreaming to travel the entire Philippines?
(3) Why explore the Philippines?
(4) The Big Plan
(5) How I ended up travelling alone?
And if you haven't read this post, it's never too late to read it. 😊
A SUMMARY
I just hate doing things without a roadmap! As I've been repeatedly saying, traveling the entire country is one of the most important aspects of my life. I want to create a thread about how I ended up where I ended up and have something to look back when I've finally shared everything here in Hive. And I just want to use this yet another intro post that I'll be updating from time to time using the tables below.
I've summarized all the Provinces I've been to and the year of travel. You can also use the data below to verify the forty-one (41) Provinces I was mentioning a while ago. 😊
