Before you think I took time off to wander into soul searching, that wasn’t the case. Gone are the days when I lived in $7/night hostels and had soda and a hotdog for a meal to save on money. Now I travel as someone who loves travelling and runs a business.

While I usually travel for 8 weeks a year as that's how much leave my partner gets, last year extended to a whopping 13 weeks because of two factors.

First, I visited America after 15 years and was living with my family. I was having such a lovely time doing small things I cannot do in my country, such as going for a walk every day in greenery, wearing what I wanted, and being around a clean environment. All this was so enriching for the soul that I wanted to stay back and live this life while I could. Second, I flew to NYC for two weeks in November because I attended a Tony Robbins seminar in New Jersey.

It’s a bit strange how you stay away from a country for 15 years only to visit it twice in a year. Life has its ways!

My year started by visiting England.
