2015 was unlike any other. My first year since the beginning of my memory where I haven’t spent my year going to school. A year that brought me many notable sunrises accompanied with the tingling of excited anticipation for what the upcoming day may hold. Don’t get me wrong, 2015 was one Hell of a chaotic roller coaster. But despite facing many demons I am proud to tell you I’ve come out ahead. For better 2015 has formed me into a more grateful person who understands the value of sweating the small stuff if you can learn to also appreciate the details.
Quitting my job to pursue a dream of traveling to new faraway places left me with many highlights. Traveling, especially traveling solo, has been the best thing I’ve done for myself. Follow me through my journey through 2015.
This year I experienced…
Leaving a job that allowed me to grow my career for four years while giving me a family away from home.
Sharing a part of my culture with my Las Vegan roommate, Steph, by spending Chinese New Year with my family in Hong Kong.
Eating bite after delicious bite of local cuisines and street food.
Living a life of luxury sailing on a yacht to rural Hong Kong islands.
Seeing so many iconic sights firsthand.
Meeting a lemur. Yes, this deserves a point all on its own.
Meeting A PLETHORA of cool people, travelers and locals alike.
(N.B. not all cool people met listed below)
Moving from my home for 5 years, Las Vegas.
Ending my year with a new job and a renewed outlook on life.
All in all 2015 was one great adventure. As it seems I’ve been working on this post for almost two months, I can only imagine how busy 2016 will be. If anyone can figure out how to slow down time, please let me know! Especially vacation time. I need a lot of that.
Here’s to 2016! Already off to a great start and despite not winning the Powerball I feel it’ll be another notable year. What are some things that you experienced during 2015? Some resolutions for the coming year?
Looks like you did so many things this year! I’m from brighton lovely city 😀
I loved Brighton! So colorful and can’t the fish n’ chips!!
It seems your 2015 was simply amazing! It’s great! I like your photos, especially with Steven Tyler 🙂
It was pretty amazing indeed! Steven Tyler was awesome, total sweetheart and wanted to get to know my staff when he dines with us.
Holy Cannolis!! What amazing adventures! I can’t wait to scroll through and read more!
Thank you! It’s gonna be hard to top 2015, but I’m gonna give it a run for its money!
Looks like an incredible year! How long did you travel for? Are you going to continue travelling throughout 2016?
It really was! I had 3 different trips last year– one week, three weeks, and two months. I hope to travel some more this year, but with the new job it might be more local destinations. Which is fine by me! Traveling through Europe really made me realize how little of my own country I’ve seen.
I love pictures. Nice travel posts like it.:)
Thank you!
AS IF YOU MET STEVEN TYLER!!!! I would have outright DIED!!! So amazing! Great pictures!
Haha he was awesome!!! Such a down to earth guy. Literally let himself into my kitchen to meet my staff. HE wanted to meet US! The whole situation was so surreal, but meeting him has definitely secured me as a diehard fan.
