Another year is about to close and a new one beginning with endless possibilities. I love taking a few moments in the short days of winter that come around New Years to reflect on both the ups & downs of the last 12 months. Here’s what my year looked like…

    1. Thanks Miriam! It’s been a great year. I’ve seen so many new places. I’d have to say Tassie was definitely one of my favourites. Happy adventuring to you too!

      2. The Ted Centre sounds great!

        I’ve decided to spend the winter cycling & hiking in Arizona. As much as I love the snow & cold in Canada, I’m craving some warm weather. Not so hot as Australia at this time of year, perhaps, but a lot nicer than -25C!

        I’m really excited about my travel plans for the spring. I’ve invited a good friend to join me on a walk across Scotland. That was one of my favourite travel experiences when I first visited the Scottish Highlands two years ago. Can’t wait to return and share the experience!

      3. Sounds fantastic Justin. I loved Scotland when I visited many years ago. Look forward to reading all your adventures. BTW did you ever see my post Wonderlusting round the world? I mentioned you in there.

      4. Yes, thank you so much for including me in that post! It means a lot to me that my adventures inspire you. I’ve started following the other blogs you included in your post too. You have great taste 🙂
