We love to look ahead. In fact, it's quite common that we are planning our next adventure before the last one is even over! Even so, there's something about the transition from one calendar year onto the next that lends itself to a wonderful opportunity to look back, evaluate the events in our life, and most importantly, to incorporate time to be grateful for all that has happened during the year gone by. From the glaciers of Iceland to the jungles of Costa Rica, we are so incredibly grateful to be able to share this wonderful world with all of you. We hope this next year brings you many adventures and an infinite amount of possibilities.
Happy New Year friends!

I loved this Looking Back 2018 post it felt like flipping through a year‑end scrapbook of memories and lessons that really mattered. Reading it during a busy study week made me nostalgic for slower moments, and honestly, there were times I thought I’d pay to do my exam just to carve out a little free time to soak up thoughtful posts like this without feeling rushed.
Reading your 2018 reflection really made me pause and think about how much can change in a few years, and how moments we didn’t appreciate at the time end up shaping us. It even took me back to a semester when I kept saying i need someone to take my online class just so I could catch my breath and actually reflect. Your post reminded me that looking back helps us move forward with more clarity.
