David Yang has traveled to every country in the world. David Yang Counting Countries
I feel like I have known David for as long as I have been in the community with our mutual 218 FB friends. David is an outgoing, gregarious and omnipresent traveler in our group. Whether he is sharing his travel photos on FB sometimes multiple times a day or jumping from one corner of the globe to the other to meetup with travel friends. I have met David twice in real life which we touch on. And David is a prolific counter and tracker of all sorts of things.
