Round The World

Here are two videos that I absolutely love and they make me want to travel and see as much of this world as possible in my life! The first one I've watched many, many times over the years and the second one I just discovered recently from my awesome friend Jess! Enjoy :-)

Old Year/New Year

                                     

2011 has been done and gone for almost 2 weeks already?! Before it's too far in the past to remember, I want to try an exercise in remembering all the ups and downs of the year that's passed. In no particular order, here's what I've got...

In 2011 I...
-met a totally amazing guy, then a couple weeks later got to be his girlfriend :-)
-traveled to Maine, Oregon, Washington, and California (also brief, accidental mini-adventures in Boston and Texas)
-turned 24
-moved twice
-lived in Denver
-discovered zumba
-attended two weddings of childhood friends
-ran around the beach on both coasts
-completed my 12th Bolder Boulder
-learned how to make, sell, and appreciate wine
-worked four different jobs (sometimes at the same time!)
-did a lot of slacklining
-saw the Avett Brothers, Iron & Wine, the Head and the Heart, and Alexi Murdoch in concert
-got to be in the same room as James Franco
-worked two paid and one volunteer photography jobs
-reunited with long lost relatives
-learned to snowboard
-had the worst travel experience involving airplanes, delays, missed flights, and Texas that you can possibly imagine
-survived the above travel experience
-made lots of new friends


What does 2012 have in store for me? Here's what I've got so far (some are confirmed, some are hopefuls)...
-anniversary/valentine's day/awesome trip to NYC with Anthony next month
-celebrating 1 year with said boyfriend :-)
-more photography jobs?
-photography classes to improve those skills!
-more snowboarding (more skills to improve)
-another big trip later in the year...road trip around the west coast/Canada? Europe? Japan? Not sure yet.
-getting better at budgeting and saving my money

Hopefully many more adventures, travels, photos, and surprises to come!

P.S. Here's another song I can't stop listening to right now:
