The famous Kandy to Ella train ride was at the top of my list when it came to planning my two weeks in Sri Lanka. I knew I wanted to travel like a local, witness the breathtaking tea fields, and stick my feet out of an open doorway. All of which I did!

For our last trip, but first international adventure together, Gena and I booked tickets to Hong Kong over Lunar New Year.

But it might not be for the reasons you’d assume…

To ring in 2019, I celebrated at the Floating Palace New Year’s Countdown Party with GSM in Seoul. I squeezed loved ones, toasted a sky set ablaze with fireworks, and danced the night away. It was the perfect way to enter the new year, and one of the best NYE celebrations I’ve ever experienced. 2019 is already shaping up to be a year of promise, and I look forward to sharing my adventures with you. On that note, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Thanks, as always, for following me en route.

I previously drafted two different “New Year” posts, but neither of them really captured the essence of the past year. I finally came to the conclusion that no amount of words typed in a blog post will be able to explain what the past year has meant to me. But alas, I feel the need to say something as we head into 2019.
