Every year we make a bunch of plans, but we hardly ever take the time to reflect on them or review them at year end to see how they turned out. This year my goal was to travel a bit less and move around less often. To plan ahead and prebook airbnbs and plane tickets further ahead of time, and in general, slow down a bit so I don't get burnt out. But as you can already tell from the title, not all of that worked out. It's natural to want to explore and take advantage of the unique and amazing opportunity we have being location independent, as well as the flexibility we now have with short term rentals, cheap airfare, and being able to work and connect with others anywhere in the world.

But part of that also comes with downsides. Traveling full time is exhausting and it's easy to let our mental, physical and even financial health suffer. It's been a journey of trying to figure out the work/life/travel balance but I think I've finally locked it in. Overall I can tell you that I'm extremely happy and feel super grateful and fortunate for this life that we live and the opportunities that we have. In this post i'm going to review my 2019, see if my plans actually worked or what had changed. and give you my new plans for 2020. This is a review of 2019 of everything from goals, to fitness, health, relationships, happiness, travel, and finances. This should be fun, so here we go!
