In March 2024, you spontaneously booked a trip to Toronto to attend a MARZ23 concert and explore the city for the first time. Making the most of it, you connected with coworkers and met up with an online friend in person.
In May 2024, you traveled to your first European country, Iceland! Every day in Reykjavík was filled with magic, exploring the island’s beauty and rich history. You fell in love with the place, trying snorkeling in Silfra, riding an Icelandic horse, and hiking up a glacier.
In June 2024, you traveled to San Francisco for a work conference (Config) and spent the weekend with your friend. You enjoyed delicious food, attended your first baseball game, and experienced a candlelight concert. You also visited estate sales and finally understood the appeal of picnics.
In November 2024, you never intended to spend a week in Paris, France, as you didn’t quite see the appeal. But after strolling the streets, walking along the Seine, touring the Catacombs, and witnessing the illuminations at Aura Invalides and the sparkling Eiffel Tower, everything changed.
After Paris, you made your way to Switzerland, staying mostly in Interlaken with a day trip to Zürich. The peaceful town and serene landscapes made you feel like nothing else mattered. Unfortunately, you got sick and that kept you from fully experiencing the country.
In December 2024, your final destination was Nürnberg, Germany. You set out to experience a Christmas market like never before, and the city did not disappoint. It was bustling with energy, exactly as you had imagined, with the world coming alive in festive cheer.
