I cannot believe that 2024 is almost over, it seriously just flew by. In 2017, I started a tradition of rounding up my favorite photos from each year however we had a slight hiatus in 2020 and 2021 but we came back in 2022!

Check out my favorite travel photos from 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, and 2023.

This year, I was able to cross off three new countries in the Caribbean, visit 1 new state in the USA (Atlanta!), visit several new cities in states I’ve been to before and make several trips to the motherland.

Every year, I take some time to reflect on how that year went; and this year I will continue the tradition of rounding up one photo per trip to hopefully inspire you to travel a little more! Enjoy!

If you’ve ever gone hiking in a very popular place, you’ll understand the frustration that comes with having to wake up early and find parking.
