Is This Thing On?
Personal || ||Oh Hi.
Is this thing on?
Is anyone still out there?
Besides my Dad, I know he still checks here, hi Dad!
I wrote a whopping 6 blog posts in 2022, I’ll admit to feeling some guilt around this. I have so many drafts started, but none finished!
So what have I been up to? And what’s next for Will Save For Travel?
2022 Travel
2022 was the year that travel finally came back! In June we finally made our way to Scotland after being postponed twice. I got to stand by my best friend as she got married and it was an amazing trip. It had been a long time since I had explored somewhere new, and it was worth the wait.
In October I went to Disney World with one of my closest friends. This was our second time at Disney together, and we had so much fun! It was great to spend time together, just the two of us and I know that this was a core memory trip.
Travel Mug Podcast
By far my favourite project of 2022 is the Travel Mug Podcast. We launched our full website, grew our download numbers, and all around had fun. We have so many amazing plans for the podcast going forward and I can’t wait to watch it grow!
Virtual Assistant Work
In late 2020 I started working as a virtual assistant, and by the beginning of 2022, VA work was/is my main source of income. I have amazing clients and I love helping them grow their business with social media, blog post writing and more. To be honest this is the reason I haven’t been writing as much here, because I am writing so much for others!
Personally
In my personal life, we adopted a dog from Texas, Lucy. She’s wild, energetic and fits into our lives perfectly (the cats don’t agree on that point though).
We completed some large projects around Tupper House, including putting in a wood furnace that has been keeping us cozy this Winter. We updated the last of the windows, and my husband built the most amazing kitchen island.
I took surf lessons, learned to knit, enjoyed adventures with friends and my yearly trip to Wolfville with my Mom. We bought a new (to us) car, which meant we had debt again.
I also struggled with being diagnosed with high blood pressure, being a solopreneur and growing a business.
Overall, I’m excited to see what 2023 has to bring!
What’s Next For Will Save For Travel?
I’ll admit that I have considered all the options. Do I let go of the blog that changed my life and career? Do I get back into writing? Can it still be successful? Do I want to write anymore?
The answer is yes, I want to write, and I hope it can be successful after being on the back burner for the last 2 years.
In 2023 I have rearranged my schedule so Fridays can be dedicated to my projects (instead of client projects), so I will be writing and working on the podcast! I won’t make promises about how many blog posts you’ll see here though.
Stay tuned for a 2023 goals post tomorrow!
If you’ve read this, thank you. It means the world to me.
