I’m a little behind with my blogs, so I apologise for that, but I’ve just been having such a good time and doing so many great things that I’ve just struggled to find the time to write them..I promise Ill catch up soon!
That said, I just had to pop on and write this quick one to say Happy New Year to everyone! I’ve had one of the best years ever and I hope that 2013 has been great to you all too!
Earlier this year I was a tiny bit worried about the decision I had made to give up work and set off around the world, knowing I hadn’t saved enough money or planned as much as someone like me would want to, but the year has given me so much more than I could have expected and I have no doubts it was the best decision I could have made.
I’ve spent time with amazing people – meeting new friends, catching up with old ones, seeing children learn and play and laugh, and having small but significant interactions with strangers. I’ve visited places I’ve dreamed of going my whole life, places I hadn’t even heard of and seen things I didn’t even know existed. I’ve tasted food and drinks that have made my mouth water and got (a little too) close to the most wonderful animals.
I’ve been supported throughout the year by my family and friends who encouraged me to live my dreams and I hope they all take that advice themselves and follow their dreams in 2014. You never know where they will lead and that’s half the excitement.. If you are going to have regrets, regret the things you do, not the things you didn’t do.
I have no idea what 2014 will hold, but I can’t wait to see, the first few months are planned already, with Canada, Cuba and more of America in the pipeline, but I’m already thinking about the next trip and the changes to come!
Happy new year!
“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re Doing Something.” —Neil Gaiman
