geography

now i know geography is a struggle for some; it used to be for me, too. back in high school, before i had really started to travel, it was incredibly hard for me to place foreign-sounding places on a map, especially cities i couldn't even pronounce. after spending four years studying african history, i've learned how to get past the initial confusion of unfamiliar words, and am currently working on remembering not only how they're pronounced, but where they are placed on a map.

how good are you??

AFRICA:

can you name all 59 countries in africa? and/or their capital cities (marked with a red dot)?


NORTH AMERICA:

SOUTH AMERICA:
