2021

What happened in 2021? We were so deep into the pandemic that year and I remember working long hours trying to recoup all monies paid to airline, hospitality and travel industries. Trying to get them either to pay a refund back, convert to future travel credit or worse total writeoff.

During this time, I setup my work from home office and mental health was an issue for everyone. So there were lots of virtual games and meetings. And how many times do you remind your colleagues that they are on mute!

Travel was slow. Although I was able to go to Adelaide and Tasmania.

Adelaide was the first domestic flight I took and given slowness in returning to new normal it meant that my tour got cancelled. I had to bike uphill of the vineyards half drunk carrying 3 to 4 sample bottles of wine from the tasting. Hell of an experience.

Tasmania was refreshing. Hike uphill was good. Getting to Bruny Island meeting friends from India and Colombia. Then our tour bus ran out of fuel. We got stuck in the island. It was one hell of a tour but managed to survive.

Finally end of 2021 I was lucky to do my first travel back to Manila in the height of Omicron. I was meant to visit Europe particularly Santa Claus. But got a major health dilemma so decided to recoup in the lovely Philippines. 

So yeah that's 2021 in a nutshell..

Xs, some events might be in 2020 but yeah let's pretend its in 2021.
