Time to reflect on a good year. I’d never really traveled in my life, but 2023 saw this change dramatically for me. Growing up, we would go camping and a couple trips here and there. In my adult life I’ve done a little inside the US, a trip to Mexico, as well as Toronto Canada, but never to Europe or elsewhere. My first trip to Europe was November 2022 – which you can read more about here.

Dawn’s birthday trip
It was a whirlwind of a year, but a truly enjoyable one as well. 2024 is shaping up to be even busier with travel, but I’m not complaining – it’s a nice problem to have. I make my first trip to Berlin in about a week – excited to go!
I’ll hopefully blog a bit more this year. (and maybe change which platform I use to do so)
