Hey Erica, nice reads! Just a little technical note (since I am very fussy about such things): The countries Cuba, Syria, Burma are “banned” only by USA (and maybe some allies, I dont know). Most people from other countries can visit them without any issue. In fact the most “banned” country in the world is Israel. 18 countries don’t allow its citizens to travel there. And if you visit Israel even once (like I did), your entry to 24 Muslim countries (minus Jordan & Egypt) is banned. Sorry for the long note.

Hi Priyank! Thanks for pointing that out. It’s an important note that shouldn’t be overlooked!
