The Year at a Glance
Despite a demanding full-time job, I managed to accomplish several things.
2024 by the numbers:
- I sent 47 editions of my weekly #TravelTuesday email.
- I explored 24 destinations I’d never been to before.
- I visited 13 wineries, 9 breweries, and 1 cidery
Unique activities and firsts:
- I saw and sat in the famous Oscar Mayer Wienermobile (silly, I know, but it made my inner child really happy!).
I’m grateful for the places I went, the experiences I had, and more importantly, the people I met.
One of the highlights of 2024 was our trip to Washington State.
Goals from 2024
Here’s a look back at the goals I set for 2024 and whether I accomplished them.
- Send my weekly #TravelTuesday emails ✔️: I’m pleased to say that I achieved this goal really well! I sent an email 47 out of the 52 weeks, plus 3 additional emails (1 special announcement and 2 Amazon Prime sales). (If you’re on my email list, I hope you got value out of them.)
- Publish weekly YouTube videos ❌: Unfortunately, I didn’t make any progress toward this goal.
- Attend the annual DC Travel & Adventure Show ✔️
- Finalize my “Beyond the Bucket List Workbook” and make it available on Amazon ✔️: This has been a true labor of love born out of my own desire for a central location for keeping information about bucket list trips. I’m very happy about how it turned out.
- Share my free “Adventure Awaits 7-Day Email challenge ❌
- Go on one trip each month (day trip, weekend trip, or longer) ✔️
