I started a Travel the World card series in 2019, committing to virtually visit a different randomly-selected country each week (for 50 weeks), gathering tidbits of information about the country. I love to travel and this is one way I can "visit" countries that I might otherwise never see. As I learn about each country, I choose something about that country as inspiration for a card.
This is the fourth (and final) year of this series. By the end of 2022 I will have virtually visited all 195 countries in the world.
This card is inspired by Norway, where the Colonel-in-Chief of the Norwegian King's Guard is a Scottish Penguin. Brigadier Sir Nils Olav III has held the title since 2005, but the involvement goes back to 1972 when the regiment adopted a penguin from Edinburgh Zoo as its Colonel-in-Chief.
Please visit my blog for more photos/information about both Nigeria and my card...

Just adorable and what a great story about the penguin Colonel-in-Chief. Love your background paper. You've given yourself a great challenge and I am sure you have learned so much about the countries.
