It’s everyone’s favorite post of the year: all my WORST travel moments of 2023! Overall this year has been a good one, in the fact that I had no major injuries and I’m still alive and healthy.

2022 has been an amazing year of travel and adventures for me. It’s been a while since I’ve written one of these yearly recap posts – I skipped 2020 and 2021, for obvious reasons.

The end of the year is always a good time for reflection. In 2019, I visited 14 countries, 4 of which were new to me.
