- New year, same me. -

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would be living in a pandemic for almost a year. As everybody likes to start their end of your post “ what a crazy and trying year this has been” - True, these are “unprecedented times were living in” and while I didn’t really get to live out my dreams of being the travel icon I think I am in my head, I did learn a lot of cool things this year and, I think that wouldn’t happen if I wasn’t forced to stay home.
