Gidonb is an information scientist and a polyglot, married, and a father of two. A dedicated Wikipedian since 2003, he works hard to take this project to the next level. Gidonb has taught at universities, published scientific and journalistic works, been a lead actor in a film, recorded a song, and appeared in media interviews. When he thinks of someone who is not notable, he immediately thinks of himself.

    • North America Canada Costa Rica United States and Collectivity of Saint Martin Sint Maarten
  • States and autonomous regions lived in / visited:
    • Africa: Ethiopia Amhara Region Oromia Region Tigray Region and Addis Ababa
    • Asia: United Arab Emirates Emirate of Dubai
    • Europe: Austria Styria Upper Austria; Bosnia and Herzegovina (all) Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina Republika Srpska; Belgium (all) Brussels Flemish Region Wallonia; Germany (to do); Spain Community of Madrid Switzerland (to do); United Kingdom England Scotland

      • United States
        • East Connecticut Florida Georgia (U.S. state) Maine Maryland Massachusetts New Hampshire New Jersey New York (state) Pennsylvania South Carolina Virginia and Washington, D.C.
        • Central Alabama Arkansas Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Nebraska Ohio Oklahoma Tennessee Texas Wisconsin
        • West Arizona California Colorado Nevada Utah
  • Airport visits only: Djibouti Qatar
  • "Next visits", by continent: Australia Kenya Mexico Portugal Suriname Qatar

All visits are recorded based on current entities and boundaries, even if I had visited a location before changes occurred. The 'next visits' are not a bucket list or a planned itinerary but rather my best estimate of where I might end up first if I were to visit an unvisited country on each continent. This forward-looking approach helps complete the list, and I compare these predictions with actual travel, which more often than not takes me back to previously visited countries and regions. Still, the UAE was on the list, then I traveled there. Since, I've conservatively replaced it with Qatar as the 'next next'. I've visited the airport and next time I might make it into town! :-)
