Born to Travel

From the point of view of travel, it looks like it's not so bad to be from one of the five countries that K and I "represent" (US, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, and UK). An Austrian company, Henley & Partners, has ranked countries by how many other countries its citizens can enter without a visa. "Our" five countries fall in the top ten:
