DearWorldTraveler,

2016 was an amazing year of travel!  I visited 12 cities that I could write an essay telling you all about it but where’s the fun in that?  Sometimes it’s better to experience things for yourself to make your own memories.  Here is my year end review of my top 2016 travel memories in pictures.

If you see any cities that you haven’t visited, you’re in luck!  You have a whole new year to chop away at your travel list!  Get to it!  The world is waiting for you!

 

1. NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK

Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge

(Side note: I lived in NYC for almost 3 years and never walked across the bridge while I lived there.  In short, this was a big deal for me.)
