One thing I love about year-ends is the time for reflection. We can be surprised at how much things can happen in a year. It always seem so short, but if we think about it as 365 days, it’s actually a lot. By the time we change our calendars, we always wonder where the year went, so we’re doing this!

Looking back, it’s the year I’ve traveled the most. I cannot be happy enough to have been able to see different parts of our archipelago, and have tried different foods! This is also the year I embarked on my biggest, most expensive, and longest trip ever. I write this, still, while in Provincia de Buenos Aires. May 2025 be filled with new stories, contentment and peace. Happy New Year, everyone!
