Happy 2019! Now that we are almost two week into 2019 and just about everyone else has already posted their year-end reviews, I decided it was about time to do mine. I didn’t blog much for the month of December. And while I didn’t mention it here, I posted on my Instagram at the beginning …

Now that 2018 is officially here, I think it’s time to start looking ahead and figuring out where I want to travel this year. While I don’t have any concrete plans as of right now, there are some things I would like to do and a couple trips I am working on. I wouldn’t call …
