11 Countries (and 25 Cities) In 12 Months: My Favorite Travel Moments In 2017

Happy new year everyone!!! I hope you had a fun, restful and enjoyable holiday season- and let’s get ready to kick some ass this 2018! But first up before that, I want to share with you my (annual) Favorite Travel Moments of the year that was– 2017. (In case you were interested, here were my ones from 2014, 2015 and 2016!) You know, it’s one of the hardest blog posts I do every year but I do it anyway because it gives me the chance to really look back and reflect (come December, we often forget some of the amazing things we were doing in January, February, March!), inhale how truly beautiful life is— and possibly see how far we’ve come since the start of the year.

Travel is an integral part of my life— we get to understand ourselves best when we are in the unfamiliar (you’re not in your usual environment and you can’t automatically predict what happens next), and at the same time, we are more accepting of meeting other people and allowing them to effect us, and we learn more about the world this way. I’m very grateful to have traveled to 11 countries and 28 cities this year, that began with winter in Spain and culminated with a white Christmas in the East Coast of the United States of America.

I urge you to do the same when you can. After all, in order to move forward, we must look back. It gives us perspective, knowledge and the push to keep soldiering on– and also gratitude for all we’ve through. xx

PS Go, travel– see the world this 2018! It’s the only thing that you spend on that will make you richer 🙂
