2016 in Review: Top 15 Travel Moments

The year two-thousand sixteen has been a doozie. Let's look back and see what happened. See ya, 2016!General recap:Through 2016, I have had the same full-time position sales position with a non-profit hostel chain. I've stayed in the same apartment two suburbs out from Boston (Somerville, MA). I've stayed single; though I did go on a load of good/great/bad/boring dates throughout the year.
