2022 Review

The idea and the conclusion

The idea: 2022 was the first year in a while where we were free to finally leave the confides of our homes and explore again with less restrictions. Therefore,  after feeling stuck in Leicestershire for (around) two years, I made the New Year’s Resolution to leave Leicester to visit elsewhere at least once a month for a whole year.

Thoughts

So, I smashed my goal and then some. In conclusion, I have discovered that I am drawn back to the same places and need to shoehorn myself out of familiarity to spread my wings further to explore more unknown parts of the UK going ahead.

A lot of these were day trips or exhibitions/events. Only two were actual holidays, and the majority were booked in advance, travelling on a budget that reflects my finances. Including a day trip to London that I did on a mere £20 (including transport).

I am left with a lingering love for both Edinburgh and York, longing to return and explore more as both a rich in history and have so many hidden secrets to discover.

However, there is still lots more of the UK and the world for forthcoming adventures as I look ahead to 2023 with a couple of trips already on the horizon and itchy feet to continue to explore and enrich my life.
