Circular economy

Like last year, it is hard to tell if it was Monocle or I who was actually first. But with all my 2018 international travels over, I thought I should put together another Gold List of my own, however shallow this exercise may be (for the 2017 list, click here). In total, I flew 70,374 miles, visited ten different countries of which Russia, Colombia, Israel and Peru were all new to me.
