Year 2017 is ending very soon and I just can’t let it passed by without appreciating all the beautiful things I have received. The entire year had its ups and downs but I am still very thankful for all the love I got from friends and families alike.
Just like the previous years I created blog post as a roundup of my travels. Don’t get me wrong – it’s not that I’m bragging about it. I just wanted to document my travels. In this way I could use it for future reference as well as to remind myself of where I’ve been to, what I did and what are the things I already ticked off my bucket list.
There are so much stories to blog about during our summer travels this year. Unfortunately, I just can’t write it all in one sitting. But I’ll try my best to do it one blog at a time. It is something for you guys to look forward to in 2018. For now let me share to you the highlights of our travels this year.

2017 has been a good year as far as travel is concerned. Although there were hits and missed but still it is more of a hit than a miss. I don’t intend to linger on those unfortunate events that happened, rather I am thankful for all the amazing travel moments Derick and I experienced this year. Cheers to more travels in 2018!

Hello.
So many places and wonderful photos. Missing only one lesser-known country in the north. In that country you could hike on our Arctic Hills among free roaming reindeers, make a cruise on some of our lakes on board of a historic steam ship, watching Samba Carnival, Admire Hanami, experience the mid-night sun, when sun never sets, meeting Santa and have reindeer rides, visiting unique museums which do not exist elsewhere, walking on the ice of frozen lakes, visiting world biggest snow castle.
One example:
Reindeer rides and Santa
Happy and safe travels!
