This was the year I travelled around the world, starting off in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for the world’s biggest party, the Rio Carnaval! It’s funny how the second you get home you almost forget you ever spent over five months seeing some of the most beautiful parts of the planet. So to remind myself of what I did accomplish, here’s a selection of my favourite moments of the last year:
+ Went to watch the Rio Carnaval parades in the sambodrome not once but twice!
+ Cruised Halong Bay, Vietnam
+ Watched the sun rise over the Caribbean sea in Colombia.
+ Mountain-biked down the world’s deadliest road near La Paz, Bolivia.
+ (If you include the end of ’08) I saw three of the official new 7 wonders of the world: Christ the Redeemer in Rio, Machu Picchu in Peru and the great wall of China.
+ Danced the samba with Brazilian locals in a bloco while drinking caiprinhas.
+ Went tubing in a turbulent river (while drunk) and survived!
+ Hiked the Franz Josef Glacier in New Zealand.
+ Held a baby crocodile in the middle of the Amazon jungle… and seconds later found a snake inside our boat!
gosh, what an amazing trip!

Wow. You are amazing! Rock on, lady. I also loved your resolutions for 2010. I would love to read a book a week. I generally get through more than most people, but that’s not really saying as much as I wish it were.
