Holy cow. To say 2015 was an incredible year would be an understatement. I started the year by quitting my job, adding a nephew to the fam, and buying a house.
In February we had a wonderful going away party that ended at a crazy underground rave, left our tiny (but rent controlled) SF apartment and moved to Austin. In May I packed my bags for Europe and pretty much haven't unpacked since. By the time June ended I turned 30, adopted a dog (cause that's what you do when you move to Austin), and got another tattoo. The last six months have been filled with a lot more adventures, a new car, another new nephew, and a ton more frequent flyer miles. This year I bought furniture that wasn't from IKEA, learned I love Texas wines (and hot wine!), finally got to check out "Sleep No More", had a real Philly cheesesteak, spent Christmas in Vienna, and met a sloth. I'm really not sure how 2016 is going to top it!
Places traveled: Reno, NV • Road-trip from San Francisco, CA to Austin, TX • Vienna, Hallstatt, and Salzburg, Austria • Budapest, Hungary • Palm Springs, CA • Boston, MA • Indianapolis, IN • Česky Krumlov, Czech Republic • Tampa, FL • New York, NY • Philadelphia, PA
So what's next?
In the first week of new year I'm finishing my scuba certification and heading to Aruba! Not sure what else I'm excited for in the coming year because that's really all I can think about. Oh yeah, and we might live in Belize for a month!
Here are just some of my favorite snapshots from this year. Follow all my adventures at @ashmcdey Instagram and Snapchat.
Happy 2016 y'all!
