Around The Globe: Where In The World Have You Been?

It's been several weeks since I've participated in WG. When I saw this assignment, I made it my business to find time to complete. Our assignment:

How do you find out about books from other countries? What countries would you like to read that you haven't yet?
I find most of my books blog hopping. I won't admit how many blogs I visit daily. lol I hang out at discussion forums focused on books by country or regions. Participate in reading challenges and other memes.

Tell us about your globe trotting via books. Are you a global reader? How many countries have you "visited" in your reading?
I thought it would be fun to list titles. Some countries I could list several titles and that made me smile. I'm pretty sure I've read something set in Mexico but I couldn't remember. When I saw the gaps, I immediately wanted to start doing searches and was thinking of the books on my tbr. I resisted adding my tbr/country titles.

What are your favorite places or cultures to read about? Can you recommend particularly good books about certain regions, countries or continents?
Frantic to find and read books set in South Amercia. Definitely want to address my Latin deficit. Want to read more books set in Asia, New Zealand and Australia and Canada. Went through a period of reading books set in island countries. Gravitate towards books by people of color.
