I realize that some of these are "typical" resolutions but they are things the I need to work on. As far as traveling goes, I hope to return to Germany this summer to see my host family and friends. Additionally, I'd like to visit Eastern Europe (especially Hungary, Czechia, Poland, and Croatia), and Italy. Other places I'd like to visit soon include Iceland, Peru, Sri Lanka, Norway, Spain, Morocco, South Africa, and Nicaragua.
Hopefully some of my resolutions inspire you to reflect on your own life and how you'd like to improve. I hope 2018 has gotten off to a great start and that you find joy throughout the year!
Happy traveling, happy trails, and happy twirls,
Lyndee
