Hi everyone, sorry, I know this year’s recap is a few days late. So much happened in December that it look longer than anticipated. Nonetheless, I hope you’ll enjoy this recap of everything I blogged about in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been getting into a much better rhythm of blogging and 2023 was a great year where I finally managed to publish a ton of content that I’ve had on my radar for a while now. I’m eager to see what’s in store for 2024 and to continue sharing stories with all of you. For now, let’s recap 2023!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

January<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In January, I wrote about my experience visiting the most festive Christmas bar in New York City with one of my best friends who I love going on adventures with, especially in NYC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frosty\u2019s Christmas Pop-Up Bar<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Everything at this bar was so over-the-top and decorated beautifully. To top things off, I asked one of my best friends to join me on this festive mission and she agreed with almost no notice. We went on a random Wednesday night haha. There\u2019s nothing like a mid-week Christmas night out in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February, I dedicated time to writing about Segovia, Spain<\/a><\/strong> and Toledo, Spain<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In June, shortly after the crazy Canadian wildfires that resulted in dangerous air pollution contaminating the United States air for days, I decided to raise awareness about climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
