When I dubbed 2012 the ‘Year of Travel’, I knew what I was talking about. In fact, I’ve come to like this tradition of trying to predict what the coming year’s theme will be. 2010 was, beyond the shadow of a doubt, my ‘Year of Independence’. It was my first full year living away from home, with all the responsibilities and problems that brings; my first full year at university (properly, this time). So many changes, and yeah, I didn’t always cope well, but in the end, I made it. 2011 then was the ‘Year of Fun’. I finally took some time ‘off’, so to speak, and with the exception of some major family problems, I did make 2011 a lot of fun. Mostly with little things, at uni and at home, but fun nonetheless. And 2012 was most certainly the ‘Year of Travel’. Now I’m at a bit of a loss for 2013, though. I know what I want it to be, and that’s always played an important part in my choice, but I’m not entirely sure it’ll come true this time around.

I still have a week left, though. Let’s see what I can come up with it. Bring it on, 2013!
