    Thanks for stopping by the Discovery Travel agency. Please, take a seat! There you go. Would you like some coffee or tea? Juice perhaps? Excellent. Well I'll just give you this brochure, and I'll explain how we do things around here.

    What we're offering is a trip to every country on the planet. Plus, as a bonus, we're throwing in Antarctica, Greenland and the North Pole, just because we here at Discovery Travel think they should count, just because. Not to mention that it brings us up to an even 200 instead of 197.

    This is an around-the-world ticket that takes you to every country in alphabetical order, according to this website https://www.countries-ofthe-world.com/all-countries.html. And the bonus spots, of course.

    What? You don't have a passport? Oh that's okay. For just three NP Pesos (No Porn Pesos) we will get your passport processed and delivered to you. Once you have gone three consecutive days without porn, you will have earned the 3 Pesos. Then, watch this video: When that is complete, post on the thread that you have gone three days no P and have watched the video, and we will issue your blank passport. Then you are ready to go!

    When you have earned 7 more NP Pesos (10 days total without porn), you will be on your way to your first destination! This will be Afghanistan. Next, go to www.youtube.com and do a search for 'Afghanistan Travel'. A number of travel videos will come up. Choose one and watch it. Then come back and post that you have visited Afghanistan, and comment on your video or tell us something interesting that you've learned from it. It can be four of five sentences, an entire page or anything in-between; that is up to you. Do not worry if what you want to say has already been posted by someone else. If it is interesting to you, just go ahead and post it. Please write your own original reports on the countries. Copy/pastes are not allowed. Let's also stay away from politics and negativity, as our goal is to enjoy the world as a reward for staying away from porn. And please do not link your video here, so as to keep it fresh for others for when their time comes to visit the country. Feel free to browse reports already made by others to get ideas on how to write a trip report if you're not sure how to go about it.

    Once this is done, I will add your name to the travel board (at the bottom of this post) and you will be able to depart for your second destination, Albania, when you have earned 20 NP Pesos total (20 days without porn). Again, the same process. Search Youtube for 'Albania Travel', watch one and post a comment here. I will then update your last visited country on the travel board. Feel free to watch as many videos for your country as you like. I personally like to watch between 4-6 just to get a better feel for the place, and also to enhance my experience. But only one video is required. If you should wish to suspend your round-the-world trip, well, we'll miss you, but no worries. Your name and last visited country will remain on the travel board. So six months later, a year, two years, whatever it is, if you should decide to rejoin us you can pick back up wherever you left off.

    All in all, this journey will take 2,000 days, or five and a half years! What a way to see the planet. I do need to inform you though, that if you relapse, you must complete another 10 days straight without porn to proceed. So, for example, if you had visited Argentina (#7) after 70 days, and then relapsed on day 77, you would go back to zero days, but instead of visiting Afghanistan again, you would visit Armenia (#8) after 10 days. If you relapse after obtaining your passport but before reaching Afghanistan, (Days 3-10) don't worry, you can keep your passport. Just go another 10 days to reach Afghanistan. And just to be clear, this journey is only based on staying away from porn. M and O do not apply here.

    If you would like to purchase this package and already have an existing no-porn streak, you are more than welcome to transfer your existing NP Pesos here. So, for example, if you already have 91 days on your streak, you are welcome to watch a video for each of the first nine countries (plus the passport video) and post a brief comment about Australia (#9), to be able to work towards #10. If you would like to start from scratch, that is fine too.

    You can find the full itinerary listed in the post below, with each destination numbered from 1-200. To put your mind at ease, we have checked Youtube for all of the 200 destinations using '(country) travel' as the search term, and have found multiple travel videos for every one of the 200 destinations. For those that are abstaining from videos of any kind for fear of being triggered, reading written articles, wikitravel or blogs about these destinations will be accepted as a substitute. We can personally guarantee that there is nothing triggering in the passport video, so please go ahead and watch that. Unless of course you find maps and passports triggering. Which is weird.

    This should go without saying, but please use discretion in regards to the videos and triggering. You know what you can handle and you know what you need to stay away from. Some of these videos have attractive presenters. Sometimes you may see people walking around in swimwear. Just use common sense. If you see something you think may trigger you, jump off that video and find another one. There are so many out there. If you must, get away from videos entirely and find something written.

    If you would like to help spread the word about this challenge, well, I can tell you that we here at Discovery Travel would surely appreciate it. We are trying to get as many clients on board as we can, for one reason only: Strength in numbers to take over the world!! Just copy/paste the below into your signature:
    SEE THE WORLD! :emoji_earth_africa: Click here to join us on a trip to every country on the planet!.................. Last Country Visited: (your country (or Passport Issued if no countries yet))
    Feel free to modify it however you like; just make sure there is a link to the page.

    Well thanks for stopping in. Here, take this Discovery Travel tote bag, with our compliments. In it you'll find a Discovery Travel t-shirt, collapsible plastic cup, pocket flashlight, ballpoint pen and of course, my business card. I hope to hear from you soon. And please, take a look at The Travel Board on the way out.

    Oh way, way, way, wait!!!!! Come back! Yeah, pull the door all the way closed, it's freezing out there. So sorry. Jeez where is my mind. Almost forgot something!

    Take a look at the Bulletin Board! :emoji_bellhop:

    Wolf2019 *** Here is a link to a site where you can create a customized map of the countries you've visited. Once you get an impressive-looking map you can take a screenshot and post it to this thread if discovery doesn't mind. https://map1.maploco.com/visited-countries/ ***

    artifact *** Here is an interesting article about signature foods from around the world. I'm not much of a cook, but I think I might have to try some of these. https://tastessence.com/list-of-national-dishes-around-world *** (note: If you don't see your country, there is a separate A-Z list below the last entry (Vietnam) of countries and their foods where there is no photograph)


    discovery *** Here is a link to 10 eye opening virtual museum tours around the world to keep you busy in-between trips. Some of the cities included are London, Paris, Washington DC and Baghdad. #10 is quite interesting, as it is not a real place, but rather a unique virtual museum that is a highlight reel of other places. https://www.virtualiteach.com/post/2017/08/20/10-amazing-virtual-museum-tours ***

    icebreaker polarstern *** icebreaker has added a video that sums up exactly what the travel experience should be about: the passion, zest and spontaneity about what the world has to offer. This would be good to watch for ideas about how to add these things to your country reports, or how to add this mindset to your next real life trip. ***

    Today is Day 48 for me without porn. So I would have visited Andorra on Day 40. Andorra is so tiny, it is actually considered a microstate and doesn't even have an airport. The only airports are in bordering France and Spain, and the same is true for train stations. The whole country is only 2.5 times the size of Washington DC. Speaking of DC, Andorra has an embassy there, and also in only 5 other countries in the world. Imagine a country that only has 6 embassies in the world. That's Andorra. It is very mountainous, which makes it very scenic with some good hiking trails. It is also known as a shoppers' paradise. Andorra la Vela, the capital, is also the highest capital city in Europe, thanks to its location in the Pyrenees mountains.

    Passport Issued!!! Welcome artifact! Hear the sound of the cover creak back as it opens for the first time. Smell the fresh smell of the new pages. Enjoy it, because it won't last long. Soon it will be well worn. Best run out and buy a protective cover for it, or order one online. In two days you're off to Afghanistan!!

    You also have the distinction of being Discovery Travel's first client on this very special travel package (apart from myself). I am honored.

    I took 10 dollars to see what it would buy. An outfit including a turban... then it was tough to spend 10 bucks. Ice cream, sugar cane juice, and Fresh OJ were all so cheap and delicious.

    Another feature of my trip to Afghanistan was a day tour of Kabul. Delicious street food everywhere was the positive thing. Seriously the food and conversation was worth the trip.

    Ummm otherwise it was more of a cultural trip than tourism, but I did enjoy a trip to a 14th century garden. Careful, stand still traffic jams are common!

    Also, as my guide was talking to the ice cream guy and said he was from the US I did fear we would kidnapped soon, so maybe I’m a baby, and maybe it’s a little early to be visiting Afganastan for an American, but it’s definitely not too early to give up P. Well worth the trip!

    Sounds like an amazing time! You really made the most of it and it's clear you learned a lot. As for this:
    There is a section of Afghanistan that is actually pretty safe. It's called the Wakhan Corridor and looks like a tongue sticking out from the rest of the country in the northeast. I have some friends, an American couple from California, who went there a few years ago. They never felt unsafe and loved it. Somehow the troubles of the rest of the country never spread out there. So that could be an idea for a future visit. In fact, one of the Youtube travel videos is of an American guy trekking the Wakhan Corridor.

    Congratulations GottaBFree, you have been added to The Travel Board!

    I am on day 24. So I guess I could travel to Afghanistan. I am so excited for that, but first I need to apply for passport.

    Dear Discovery Travel agency, please consider my request for Application of Passport!

    Thank you Asgardian! That really means a lot to me, considering how many challenges are on this site. I created a couple sports related ones some time back, but they both fell flat. I was the only one really who posted on them. Traveling is something very important to me, so I'm glad to be able to bring it into the NoFap adventure! I think that taking your time, over a period of years, to learn about every country on the planet is something that everyone would benefit from doing, whether for NoFap or not.

    We have reviewed your application here at Discovery Travel, and with your investment of 24 NP Pesos (but your counter says 26?) we can offer you:
    • Passport processing and delivery
    • Flight to Afghanistan
    • Flight to Albania
    All you would need to do is let us know that you have watched the passport video, one video for Afghanistan and one for Albania, and then post a comment about your trip to Albania. It can be one sentence, an entire page or anything in-between; that is up to you. Once this is done, we will be honored to add you to The Travel Board. Enjoy your trips!

    Today is 50 days without porn for me, so to celebrate I took a trip to Angola.

    I learned quite a lot.
    • It is a former Portuguese colony that still speaks Portuguese.
    • It's capital, Luanda, is the most expensive city in the world.
    • Despite this, 80% of Luanda's population live in slums.
    • Luanda has a beautiful beach and promenade, as it sits on Africa's southwest coast.
    • It was once communist, but changed to a democracy in 1992.

  20. I have returned from Afghanistan. I learned there are many beautiful mountains and the terrain is very dry, and it appears that some people live in dwellings dug into the sides of these mountains.
