I started 2019 in Berlin and ended the Decade in Oslo, the city I get married in next year. I lived exactly half the year in London before moving my entire life to New York. 2019, the end of the second decade of the 21st Century really has been quite a year for me. I became 46 years young and feel like I’m only just getting started with this crazy and unpredictable life we are gifted.
2019 - A crossroad of my life
If I look back at my last post of 2018, I had a feeling this year was going to be a good one - but quite what it had in store I could only have dreamed of. 2019 really was a defining, course changing year of my life, professionally, personally and geographically.
The travel adventures of 2019 have also come thick and fast! I had second visits to 2 previous favorites - Slovenia and Brazil. Both trips were even better than the first! Also 5 first visits - each one of which I look forward to getting back to.
But the most exciting travel adventures of 2019 was everything that the US had to surprise me with. This vast, varied beautiful country that I now call my home has so much to offer. I have been lucky to visit places often not considered to visitors, that I will look forward to heading back to and enjoying in my own time.
And with the visitors I had in 2019 I could enjoy NYC as a tourist with them - although everyday I’ve lived here so far I walk around with a smile as though I’m on holiday!
As 2020, the start of a brand new decade arrives and the start of the new millennium - the year 2000 drifts further into memories from the distant past I am excited about what the future holds.
2020 will be another milestone of a year for me and I wish you the very best for the brand spanking new decade.
Happy New Decade…
Berlin for New Year 2019
New York, my new home city
London, my home until the end of June, 2019
Oslo - to end the decade
