The following is a sponsored post.

After 12 months of travel, I’ve made it to 12 countries.  I was able to name another 68 in Jetpunk.com’s timed quiz.

I dare you to beat 80!  :)

That is a really cool game. Thanks for sharing the link!

I got 66 on my first try, but I’m a danged slow typist (and thinker). I guess part of the key is to do it systematically… In my rush, even though I tried to group my thinking into regions, I got a little panicked and tripped up.
