2018 has been a great year. I changed career, set up a new apartment and celebrated good times with friends.
I have also posted very few blog posts (only 4!), I’m well over a year behind in editing photos from trips. However, life has been busy and I’m being slightly more restrained in what I chose to post online.
Some of the highlights from the year are shown below.

In terms of goals for the year, I set myself three all of which I almost achieved.
Travel to Europe, in particular, Romania
I went to Europe! Only not Romania, but instead the UK, Germany and Portugal.
Read 12 books
I read 10. Which is the least in a number of years. But life has been busy with lots of other activities.
