The Year of Travel

2019 was the year of travel. Garner and I looked back at the places we went in 2019 - some for personal, some for work - and were overwhelmed. In 2019, I said yes to every work trip and to every trip with friends (yes, I have major FOMO!). We had so much fun, but at the same time, I now realize I was barely ever home! I never even blogged about a location (or took a break!) before jetting off to the next place.

One of my goals for 2020 is to be more present in San Francisco. We have amazing friends here, a great church and live in a gorgeous city (not to mention pay a ton in rent to be here!). I also want to save more money, maybe run my first race and commit more to this blog… all of which are easier when I’m not traveling 3x a month. What are your goals for 2020? How can we support each other better in this new decade?

It was a crazy year I’ll always remember… And I want to share those stories with all of you. Here’s to more writing and achieving goals in 2020!
