For many years I’ve kept track of the places I slept each year. It’s a way to build memories, and to look back. It’s also a way to evaluate the pace of a year, and to see what we put our travel capabilities towards. The trend, of places we re-visit versus new, family, work, friends or adventure, demonstrates to me that we are still learning. We are still trying to be comfortable anywhere, by going everywhere.

Most of these posts, written on the last day of each year, serve as a capstone as well, a place to reflect on our luck and our challenges. Writing them is a way of saying goodby to the prior year, and starting fresh.

I only wish I’d started sooner.
