Wayfinders, have you ever wondered how many and which different countries this community has explored, excercised or socialised in?
Then how about everyone posts 1 accepted nomination of a country not yet mentioned in this thread? Choose wisely, as the intention is to limit this to 1 country per person!
This post will be updated with an overview of which countries have already been posted:
Europe: Monaco, Wales, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Scotland, Vatican City, Spain, England, Netherlands, France, Italy
North- & Central America: USA, Cherokee Reservation, Canada
South America:
Asia: Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan
A small artificial island in Lake Zurich, built in 1958 for the second Swiss Exhibition for Women’s Work (SAFFA). Today, it’s a popular spot for swimming, sunbathing, and relaxing.
(This one, because almost everyone at the resort will completely fail to see it, since they don’t venture beyond the buildings, so it was surprising to find an area decorated with this, since it wasn’t installed for Jamaicans but for tourists)
Edit: I only just read that each wayfarer can only claim one country
I’ll claim Japan from my trip there two years ago! You might have heard of cat cafes, you might have heard of dog cafes, but have you heard of a capybara cafe before?
The Cherokee Reservation should qualify as its own nation. This isn’t my favorite submission from that day, but in terms of proving it’s a nation, this is the one.
A museum in Alcudia near the archeological site Pollentia were ancient roman sculptures were found. Submission did not pass through Lightship as being too close to an existing Wayspot. It got lost in the void.
The second picture is the actual Wayspot situation in Alcudia.
I’ll claim South Korea, hoping that the fact that all the wayspots I’ve submitted there before submissions in PoGo were available globally have only broken images may get fixed this way. This submission is the 1700m altitude marker on one of the trails to the top of Hallasan, the highest mountain in South Korea.
