Touch six out of the seven continents

Touch six out of the seven continents

Mark six continents on a map and turn each one from a label into a place you have actually touched. The goal is deliberately one short of the conventional seven-continent challenge, leaving Antarctica outside the requirement and making the ambition demanding without requiring a polar expedition. The achievement only becomes meaningful through the journeys inside it. Africa cannot be represented by an airport transfer, nor Asia by a photograph beside a terminal sign. Build each visit around time with a landscape, city, meal, language or local history that could not be swapped for another continent. Decide which continent model you are using before you count, then record dates and places as the list grows. Combine trips thoughtfully, travel more slowly where possible and budget across years rather than collecting long-haul flights in a rush. Check visas, insurance, health advice and current conditions for every destination independently. Add this to your list as a lifetime framework for six substantial journeys, not a race between runways.
