![]() ![]() ![]() I didn’t really have many expectations about Valencia, but it really pleasantly surprised me. January has usually been a month of doing not all that much for me, and 2019 was no different. I’m still doing worthwhile things during this time, whether it’s planning travels, being deservedly (or not so deservedly) lazy and just making time for myself or exploring new neighbourhoods (like Brixton, pictured below) which don’t garner a big and juicy subheading. I wasn’t going to include the months of no travel, but I think it’s important to look back on the moments of calm, too. But I mean, come on, I can’t complain really, can I? Here’s what my year looked like. It’s so easy to compare to other people’s experiences and travels and think what you’re doing isn’t good enough – I struggle with that a lot, but am trying to remind myself otherwise. ![]() I ticked two new countries off my list (Vietnam and Morocco), re-visited old favourites ( Prague, which I was happy to show Alan for the first time and we were able to meet up with my cousin also skiing in Les Arcs in the French Alps and Boston for summer and Christmas) and had new experiences in my own backyard (Glastonbury festival and Falmouth in Cornwall). But with a few changes (hi, new job and more opportunity! Thank you, break in between jobs!), a very fortunate and supportive home life, and of course plenty of travel to look back on, I’m relatively happy with how the year is wrapping up. 2019 was a pretty good year for travel, not so much for work life/mental health. ![]()
