When you're on vacation, the allure of being somewhere new can sometimes trick you into thinking it would be a perfect place to call home — even if it isn't.
That's not an issue if you're as well-versed in travel as Lee Abbamonte. Abbamonte, a 45-year-old travel blogger, has visited every country in the world (plus the North and South Poles) and all 50 states — multiple times apiece.
