No better time to do an old review of the year, thinking back to the highlights of travel in 2012. And boy, have there been a few...
Getting close enough to mount Snape at the Harry Potter Studios
Before the studio opened their doors, I was lucky enough to get a sneak preview of the amazing Harry Potter tour in Watford.
Eating my way through Brussels
And regretting NOTHING. See the pictures here.
Discovering Girona
And falling head over heels in love with the beautiful region.
Realising that punting isn't for everyone
The people on the water in Oxford make it look far too easy.
Nearly dying in a kayak
OK, maybe a little melodramatic. But taking to the seas in Wales was both terrifying and hilarious.
Attending a million weddings
Or, realistically, five.
So what's coming up in 2013? Well, quite a lot. Jordan is but days away, before I take to the slopes for my first ski trip. Then America is on the horizon. And who knows what other surprises will pop up along the way?
If I'm lucky, my problems can be solved in the chemist. If I'm not, then it's a foreign hospital for me. Even as I write this, I'm crossing my fingers and knocking wood.Chania rent a car
ReplyDeleteI especially agree with your suggestion to find a good balance on how fast you travel. It can be easy it wants to see more, more, more, but traveling around so quickly makes it hard to work and just live life.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary to Travel Pennies Its really amazing to see everything you managed to do in just one year and reading your 2012 review gave a great sense of your travel journey and the memories you have created. I liked how you reflected on both the highlights and the lessons from each trip its something I try to do myself after traveling. While reading, I remembered coming across bostonlimotravel.com when looking for ways to get around during trips, and it made me think about how small travel choices can make a big difference in the experience out of all your trips in 2012 which one do you feel had the most lasting impact on the way you plan your travels now?
ReplyDeleteThis post is such an inspiring reflection of your 2012 journeys! I love how each adventure has its own charm — from kayaking in Wales to exploring Brussels’ food scene.
