Capital Quest: Buenos Aires, Brasília, and the Road to Asunción

Most people say they want to "see the world."

I've decided to make that goal concrete.

My project is simple: visit the political capital of every country on Earth.

A finite mission. A measurable mission.

The first capital on the list was Buenos Aires. Walking through the city, seeing the political and cultural heart of Argentina, I unknowingly started a long-term journey.

The second was Brasília. As the capital of my own country, it reminded me that capitals are more than tourist destinations. They are centers of decision-making, symbols of national identity, and windows into how societies organize themselves.

Today, the next move is decided.

Asunción.

A quick flight, or Bus from Brazil, one of the most accessible capitals in South America, and another step forward in a project that may take years—or even decades—to complete.

This is not about collecting passport stamps.

It is about understanding nations through their centers of gravity.

One capital at a time.

Current score:

1. Buenos Aires 🇦🇷

2. Brasília 🇧🇷

3. Asunción 🇵🇾 (next)

192 capitals to go.
