With the new year just a few inches away, I can’t help but to stop and look back at the year I just had and be absolutely appreciative of every single moment that I experienced. There were many firsts, many mistakes, many cities, beds, flights, bus rides and experiences I came across and will forever keep them with me in my memories. To say the least, 2014 was not only a year of growth, but a year of solid eye opening and adventure filled experiences. In 6 months of total travel, I’ve visited: Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Argentina. I don’t believe I will be traveling as indefinitely as I planned for in 2015, but I plan to kick off 2015 in Brazil which I’m extremely excited about!
Here are my best travel moments of 2014:
