- Karachi, Pakistan
- Managua, Nicaragua
- Islamabad, Pakistan
- La Paz, Bolivia
- Ashkhabad, Turkmenistan
- Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan
- Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

While I have not had the pleasure of visiting any of these cities, I look forward to eventually visiting all ten of them. Click on the link above for photos and descriptions of each of the ten cities.

I always remember a chat with some of my airline colleagues on whether we could reach a 100 countries without the risk of getting killed. Would love to visit La Paz or Namibia, and have been to Tegucigalpa, but some of the others on the list like #1 and #3 would violate that risk threshold.
