Counting how many countries I've been to in 2008:
- USA
- Canada
- Bulgaria
- Germany (not really, changing flights)
- Italy
- China
- Mexico
US states
- California
- Massachusetts
- New Hampshire
- Arizona
- Georgia
On top of that I did at least 10 LAX-SJC trips. So I traveled quite a bit this year (relatively, I guess, for someone not in sales or consulting), especially towards the end of year. The prognosis for 2009 is: "easy", spend more time with the family.
I might still apply to speak at a conference or two (I'm already a keynote speaker) but will try to make them local - no further than Silicon Valley/SF bay area. That is, if someone from Bulgaria doesn't invite me, I can't say no to BG, not really.
Instead of conferences I'll try to do some family trips in the neighborhood - California is pretty big, Nevada has a desert and Las Vegas, Hawaii (for obvious reasons), why not Mexico again.
