Thrill-seekers swarming the world-famous theme parks in Orlando and beachcombers chilling out at Daytona Beach often miss St. Augustine, a centuries-old little gem located on the Florida's Atlantic Coast. While the Sunshine State offers tons of activities to keep you entertained for weeks, if not months, trust me - St. Augustine definitely deserves a day trip. After all, it's the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement in North America. How cool is that?

As I look back at 2020, I think to myself - what a year! Definitely the one to remember, for better or worse. Despite all the challenges that COVID-19 and our response to it have brought to our lives, this year turned out to be quite fruitful for me, travel-wise. By mid-March, before everything got shut, I had already completed 12 flights. Obviously, the pandemic slowed things down to a crawl, but it concurrently opened up a great deal of local travel opportunities. Biking, hiking, backpacking, camping, kayaking became a thing for so many people in 2020. We finally got to visit the most iconic places in British Columbia and the Canadian Rockies - something that has been on our bucket list for almost a decade. I’m really hopeful that 2021 will allow us to return to a better state and catch up on overdue celebrations, re-connections, travels and in-person events. Wishing you and your families a happy holiday season and a wonderful new year!
