postGIS, well-travelled

After years of deliberation, months of data wrangling and several reviews by family, I have finally finished version 1 of the jamesgeo well-travelled map. This map aims to answer the question “how well travelled am I?”. Unsurprisingly the answer is not very.

The map is made by taking every point that I’ve been to on the Earth’s surface and buffering by 100 km, without letting this cross any international borders, unless I did. I have chosen 100 km as I argue that culture, geography, geology etc changes significantly over about this distance.

Well-travelled map, without the context, paints a somewhat dismal view.
