An American from Colorado. 38 destinations visited. Four languages. One lifelong goal: to visit every country in the world.
I’m Jeremy David-Paul Hartman. Travel, language, and international experiences have shaped my life—from early journeys to Mexico to years spent living and working abroad. This is my personal space to document those experiences and the places behind them.
The World Project
The World Project is my attempt to explore every country in the world and share what those journeys have taught me. I want to understand people and places firsthand, question my assumptions, and contribute in whatever small way I can to a better world for everyone. My photographs and videos will be at the heart of the stories.
Explore the World Project to browse 38 destinations—35 UN member states, the two UN observer states, and Kosovo. You can also read why I travel.
