Visits every continent. Almost 30,000 miles. Two new countries, and new places in Italy and Brazil, two overvisited countries. I like this. Also I really want to make up for the boring visit to KK in TAR4 and the visit in TAR24 (nothing really bad about the visit, except the roadblocks, but it's TAR24 and it's universally hated here so...) because Kota Kinabalu/Sabah is quite possibly the most beautiful place I've ever been to. Let me know your thoughts again!

34,000 miles. Every continent except SA. New visits to Tajikistan and Barbados. To me, this is a bit less realistic, as there are only two countries that are overvisited, Russia and Spain, plus that Novosibirsk to Accra flight might become tricky. What do you guys think of this map?

If your only logistical concern is Novosibirsk to Accra, you could switch out Novosibirsk for Moscow or St. Petersburg, unfortunately missing out in the race of shame switchback; but every switchback has been lackluster anyway.
And why Khujand over Dushanbe?
