One possible travel itinerary: Start in Greenland and slowly work your way down into Nigeria.
Another: just hang around in Argentina for a while.
Those folks at Playboy really have some creative ideas.

whoops! thats not a stream of melted ice water running down Antarctica!
That map is so dated! Not only is Kosovo's independence not recognized, but I do believe that it still has the two (now unified) krais of Kamchatka Oblast and Koryak Autonomous Okrug in Russia. Technically, the two should be one krai: Kamchatka Krai, to be precise.
It really chaps my hide to know that, after all these years, Playboy still profits by the dehumanizing exploitation of old maps.
Can you blame the cartographer for being a bit distracted by his canvas?
Are you kidding?
The canvas has a perfectly calibrated Greenwich Meridian, and faultless arcs upon which to overlay the flattened globe...
Hey...that map has been projected onto a person. Wait a minute! I don't think this periodical to which you refer is peer reviewed!
What a disgusting display of amateur geography.
I wish this was a solar system for the onslaught of Uranus jokes...
It could be whatever you want it to be.
Now people are happy for living in Africa.
