In 2019 I was lucky to visit some beautiful places around the world. I started the year with a winter trip to Japan where I explored the lesser known areas around Kyoto before heading off to Byron Bay to catch some sunshine.
This was followed by three weeks in China in May where I visited Zhangjiajie (Avatar Mountains), Yangshuo, Guilin and my parent’s hometown Shanghai. It was such an incredible trip and I just love the natural landscapes of China. Soon after I ended back to Japan to eat our way around Tokyo and explore Ishigaki, Iriomote and Taketomi Island.
In July, I headed back to Japan again to Tokyo for a work project, before heading off on a solo trip around Hokkaido which was incredible (actually sadly I think there are no clips of Hokkaido here, because I didn’t take any). September I headed to Sydney, October back to China to see Guangzhou and Macao. November Tom and I visited beautiful Bali before finishing our year with Christmas in Vancouver.
It was an unexpectedly busy year travel wise for me, I don’t normally travel this much. But it was filled with so many moments to remember that I thought I’d make a video to celebrate these highlights.
