This year in review

As always, I've managed to fill this year with lots of exploring and adventures. While my life in London never feels as exciting as it did in Seoul and Suzhou, I do make sure to see and do as much as I can! This year I've been working through my 30 before 30 list, and although much of my time has been spent researching and writing assignments, attending lectures and reading academic articles for my MA, I've still managed to squeeze in some interesting adventures! My year in review, doesn't look to bad, despite it seeming like I haven't done too much.

This year, aside from the wonderful experiences below, has also seen a change in job; I'm back teaching in an International school in London. Although this change also necessitated a move from my apartment in central London and a much longer commute it was definitely worthwhile and I am so happy to embark on this new path in 2015 and am looking forward to making the few other changes (finding a new place to live and settling in to the job role more) in the coming year; my 30th.

Where my feet have been

 In recent years, I've definitely started taking photos of my feet more regularly whilst travelling. Tonight, I went through all the photos I have on my computer and realised that I had actually started this trend in 2008 when I was in China. It's been interesting looking over where my feet have stood over the last 7 years, and how disappointed I am that I didn't take more prior to 2011. I wish, for example, that I had photos of the cool boots I bought in Harbin, of my feet hanging over the edge of the Chinese/North Korea border, or on the great wall. But I still have the memories of those so that will suffice, and I will continue to document all my future journeys. Looking up is definitely important, but I really like pictures of where my feet have taken me!
