Hello Everyone,
For those of you new to MTP, we adjust our list of locations every year, and try to spread out our annual unveilings over several days - kind of like a travel Hannukah, where one beautiful gift after another is revealed :) This is Day 1.
Our new locations for 2021 start with DRC, the Democratic Republic of the Congo. As discussed in last year's updates, we've already divided the 10 largest countries in the world by area, and will continue to add locations along those lines. DRC is the 11th largest country in the world, which we've divided into 10 regions. Those regions are:
- Bandundu
- Bas Kongo
- Equateur
- Kasaï-Occidental
- Kasaï-Oriental
- Katanga
- Greater Kishasa
- Maniema
- Nord Kivu & Sud Kivu
- Orientale
Note that, if you have visited already DRC, that count will disappear. You will have to go in and select the specific region(s) you have visited. Your MTP Location and UN Country counts will appear reduced by 1 until you do this.
If you are an iPhone/iPad app user, you must be on the latest version of the app to see these changes (You can check your version by going to My Profile > Gear Icon > About The App). If you are on the latest version, and can't see the new locations, you can reinstall the app, or simply view all the latest changes on your browser.
If you are an Android app user, and don't see these changes, simply reboot your phone to clear the cache.
Obviously, DRC is a massive and diverse country, with 26 provinces. It could easily be divided into more than 10 pieces. But to make things easier for our members, we've decided to match Nomadmania's regional split. No reason to make things more confusing for travelers going to such great lengths as experiencing the inspiration for the Heart of Darkness!
Thanks as always for your support. I'll be back tomorrow with our next installation of new MTP locations.
