1st Anniversary


Many of you may have noticed that I have been neglecting my weekly posts this past month. After seven and half years, I parted ways with the company I worked for and decided to take a few weeks to decompress and do a bit of traveling before I start my next adventure. But now I am back and energized and looking forward to the many exciting escapades that are just around the corner!

While I have been on sabbatical and enjoying the long days of summer, I completely missed an important milestone. My blog turned one year old! Not only that, but I apparently wrote 50 blog posts during this inaugural year. I couldn’t have come this far without your continued support and encouragement. I am so thankful to have such amazing friends and family cheering me on every step of the way.

In honor of this momentous event, I ran some statistics to find out what blog posts were the most popular this last year. Without further fanfare, here are the top five posts from the last twelve months.

5.  Cities of the Dead (tied)
     Travel Wish Lists (tied)




And the #1 post, by a landslide was:

1. Splendid Sognefjord

It’s hard to know what topics are going to be a hit, so I am delighted to see that a wide range of subjects made the list of top five posts.

It was such a struggle to take that first leap and actually share my travel writing with others, but I am so thankful I did. I hope you enjoy reading the blog as much as I enjoy writing it. Here’s to another year of discovering the world and appreciating all that life has to offer!
