  • Airport visits only: Djibouti Qatar
  • "Next visits", by continent: Australia Kenya Mexico Portugal Suriname Qatar

All visits are recorded based on the current entities and boundaries, even if I had visited a location before any changes occurred. The "next visits" are not a bucket list or a planned travel 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 approach is a forward-looking way of completing the list. I then compare these predictions with actual travel, which often takes me back to countries and regions I've visited before. Still, the UAE was on the list, and I eventually traveled there. Since then, I’ve conservatively replaced it with Qatar as the "next next."
