One of my favorite things about blogging is that it serves as somewhat of an online journal for me to look back on! As the months roll on, I forget about things that happened earlier in the year. The same goes for travel! I recapped my 2017 travel at the start of 2018 and my 2018 travel at the start of 2018, so I thought I’d do the same again this year to see exactly where I spent my time away in 2019!

The funny thing about this year’s travel is that before I looked back at my planner to write this post, I thought for sure I traveled less in 2019 than in 2018, but in fact, I traveled to nearly the exact same number of countries, states, and cities as I did the year before. However, one notable difference in 2019 as compared to 2018 is the number of times I was able to visit Shreveport and Baton Rouge where our families are based. Being closer to our families was one of the biggest factors that motivated us to make the move from our beloved DC back down south to Houston. The fact that I was able to make so many trips home to Shreveport, even sometimes just for a day or two, has made the move worth it.

Cheers to all of the travels to come in 2020!
