A little early, but nonetheless, I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year! I have not yet announced this blog to my wider group of family and friends, but 100% intend to early in the new year. My continued website and blog development will be one of my new year’s resolutions, alongside working on a career transition, and getting out there to do some more travelling! The list of possible destinations as things stand is: Grindelwald or Interlaken in Switzerland, somewhere yet to be decided in Lanzarote, Czech capital Prague, and (if I am feeling brave enough) perhaps even somewhere in the US or Canada.

This is not to say that I am bored of the UK – I still have plenty of places to visit in my own country. I may tick a couple of these off the list in 2024, watch this space. In terms of my strongest motivations though, the US has a particular pull to it, although I am definitely apprehensive about visiting the place solo (this would be my first long distance trip outside of Europe!) Whether I can muster up the courage to do something about this in 2024 is yet to be seen, but in the meantime I would love to hear reader’s thoughts, suggestions, and maybe even words of encouragement!

I am expecting these next couple of weeks to be relatively busy, from social events, to the long-awaited sale of my flat and everything that this entails, to my continued work on a change of career, therefore, I may not be posting or updating my website as much as I would have liked to. Rest assured however, that I will get back onto this as soon as life has calmed down again and I am able to focus a bit better!

To end this short but sweet post, a simple question to my readers, current and future: what are your travel plans for 2024? Will you be embarking on a cultural city break in Europe, sipping cocktails on a sun-soaked beach resort in the Caribbean, or exploring new frontiers in the great outdoors?
