"Some of the least baroudeuses I know have visited 100 countries, sometimes even 170-but the only thing they do is to go by air in major cities, including the capitals, stopping at the airport or take a hotel for one night, and then say that they have "done" this or that country. To me, they are passengers, not travelers. "
