      :-D I must confess I was looking at less covered areas in the general JD map to have ideas on where to go next so I may surprise you with some new destination but I have no formal plans yet (Russia may not be the first on the list just yet, though :-D) Posted 3 years ago

        Hehe. Well still, planning your trip based on the JD map is an impressive level of dedication. Respect!
