Happy New Year!
I wanted to start the new year with a short message about community and connection, and tell you about the goal we have for you here at Wheel & Anchor.
I was blessed to get to spend some time catching up with old friends and family over the holidays, and I was asked a few times why I started this travel community and what we plan to do with all these travellers who've joined.
You’ve seen this scene so many times, and in so many movies, that it’s an absolute cliché.
The narrow rock canyon opens, and the lofty facade of a rose-coloured stone building is revealed, an enormous structure of pillars supporting a pediment upon which even more pillars rise.
It goes without saying, it’s best to savor them while exploring the wonderful destinations in Croatia. Travelling across this melting pot of cultures will give you a taste of Croatia's highly diverse and well-preserved culinary traditions.
Whether you’re going on a gastronomic adventure this side of the Adriatic or are merely curious about the culinary specialties of the Croats, there are several tasty dishes and delicious desserts that will nourish your journey.
Greetings from Thailand for my final update of 2018!
Every year around this time, a few of my friends and I call or message each other and ask some variation of these questions as we consider the year that was and the year ahead:
What from last year will you bring into this one?
What will you leave behind?
And what do you plan on doing more of in the year ahead?
It's been an adventure starting Wheel & Anchor this year, and I can't wait to share the exciting things we have coming up in 2019. I'm deeply grateful to all who have helped me start, grow, and maintain this wonderful community of travellers.
In July of this year, the Japanese national football team were on the verge of victory in their knockout round of the FIFA World Cup. They were 2-0 up against Belgium, and 52 minutes were on the clock. Belgium’s defeat was virtually in the bag.
In World Cup history, there are very, very few teams who make a two-goal comeback from so late in a knockout game (the last time was in 1970).
Unfortunately for Japan, one of those teams turned out to be Belgium.
You’ve heard the saying: You need a vacation from your vacation. Sometimes you make the mistake of overloading your travel itinerary, so by the time you arrive home, you’re more tired than ever.
Vacation should be a time to re-energize your body and mind, not an occasion for stress.
I just wanted to share a short clip this week with some gratitude and reflections on the year that has been:
Thank you for being a part of this journey with me, and I can't wait to connect with you as travellers and friends.
Happy holidays from us here at Wheel & Anchor!
