Travel Blogger, Nourishing Ireland

I am an American who lives on the SW coast of Ireland. In March, my husband and I traveled to Dublin by train, then flew to Vienna for a couple of days, then to Soller, Mallorca for two weeks. While there, I took the antique wooden train between Soller and Palma.

In September, we repeated the trip to Vienna for two weeks. (My husband is Austrian.) I spent the entire month of November fulfilling two dreams: visiting Bali and undergoing a 28-day Pancha Karma cleanse at Oneworld Ayurveda near Ubud, Bali.

This is a brilliant topic Maria. Nice one! OK, here's mine:

๐ŸŒ Home base: Berlin, Germany

๐Ÿ›ฉ How many flights? 4. Although, it should have been 6!
It's a long story but my flight got cancelled twice from Berlin to Bristol, so I took the train & bus from Berlin to London & back!

๐Ÿšž How many trains?
Gosh. Where do I start?
8 trains in France, 2 trains in Belgium, 3 trains in Spain, 4 trains in England, and many, many trains across North & East Germany!
Throughout the summer, the cost of train tickets anywhere in Germany, was just โ‚ฌ9.00 per month for June, July & August, so I really took advantage of it!

๐Ÿ“What destinations did you visit?
France - Paris & Cancale (Brittany). We took the train to and from Berlin!
England - London, Bristol & Bath
Belgium - I took the Eurostar from Brussels to London & back
Spain - Barcelona, Valencia & Malaga
Poland - Zgorzelec. It wasn't too difficult. I simply crossed the bridge from Poland into Germany!

๐Ÿ‚ New skills / experiences you learned:
Learning to Drive - I know. Don't judge!
Gardening - Apparently, I've got very green fingers and grew most of our vegetables, and lots of fruit.
Cooking - I've always hated cooking but have improved considerably. I even made Xmas dinner all by myself & I've also been making jams, chutneys and home-made vodka!
Academics: I started a PhD (part-time) - Doctorate of Business Administration in Higher Education Management (University of Bath), so I have to be in the UK every 6 months ...

๐Ÿ‚ I saw two new world wonders, I finished my first year of law school (and subsequently decided it wasn't for me!), I finally invested in a good camera and learnt photography and editing skills, and above all, I got published with 4 publications and grew my blog traffic by 600% due to finally teaching myself SEO, affiliate marketing, and marketing in general! I also took my first 3 press trips with many more lined up for 2023.

๐Ÿ‚ New skills: woah, I feel like I learn and improve skills daily. As I grow and learn through mistakes I realize how much improvement is needed. Coding and data science are focus areas, while reinsurance and parametric based solutions have been an area of growth/learning.

Thanks for this post, helped me reflect on the last year in a different light :)
