Come December, I always seem to look back on the year that just passed. No matter how many times I say, “I’m going to try to stay home for an entire month,” it never really seems to happen. I do a lot of travel, and it’s rarely because I have to. It is a lot of packing, unpacking, bus stops, airports, cat sitters, etc., but let’s be real — I freaking love it.
Looking back on 2023, I made my way to 15 states — 12 of those I actual went to and spent time in; the others I just drove through. That’s not my most salient year in terms of travel, but it definitely ranks high up on the list.
