Curious about the places this man has been to? Just check out his back.
59-year-old Bill Passman is a globe-trotter who is keeping track of his travels on a giant map tattoo.
He is also a retired lawyer from Louisiana and has been to 60 different countries round the world which means his back must be pretty colorful.

Daily News reports:

Whenever the retired Louisiana lawyer visits a new country, he has an artist ink it in.
 
The 59-year-old caught the travel bug eight years ago after a trip to Tanzania. Above, he takes a dip at Devil's Pool in Victoria Falls in Zambia.

And he one day hopes to have the entire area colored in.
Passman caught the travel bug after getting his first passport in 2006 at age 51, with his first trip overseas being to Tanzania.
The ex-Louisiana lawyer got a map of the world inked on his back in black and white to show his determination to travel.

He quit his job in 2010 to tour almost full time and only returns home for three months of the year.
His adventure has seen him take in Europe, Asia, Africa, North, Central and South America, Australasia and Antarctica – with his favorite place being Guatemala.
“I got the tattoo as a way to show my passion for travel. It’s a permanent reminder of all the amazing places I’ve visited,” he wrote on his blog.
