Country summaries in as few words as possible
This here new feature came from us trying to quickly summarise each country in as few words as possible. Starting from a strict five general words per country, it developed into a collection of words summarising our experiences, naturally some of which will be relevant to other and some of which will not. Hopefully it is of some interest!
