One of my biggest accomplishments for the year has been resurrecting this blog and getting caught up with a lot of belated posts. On New Year’s Day, I wrote down as one of my goals “update your blog” and it only took me until mid-November to start making it happen. Well, better late than never!

Since starting this blog, I’ve traded in long trips for short ones (one of the big insights from my four months in Southeast Asia was I enjoy having a “normal job”) but I stil have had an amazing year filled with lots of great adventures.
