When you and your colleagues insist on taking a walking tour of Queen West in -20 temps just because you’re so keen to test out the brand-new @urbanadventures and @nytimesjourneys itinerary. P.S. Worth it. #localsknow #urbanadventures #nytimesjourneys #toronto

Prepping for Mexico in two weeks. 🌮 🇲🇽

I’d say my #topnine for 2018 looks about right: travel, run, work, repeat. This year was both so very challenging and so very rewarding — and also so very exhausting. One of those years that, when you look back, you think, “Did all that really happen in just 12 months?” Things like all the stuff captured here: running my fifth half-marathon, living in Thailand for three months, directing a commercial shoot in Miami for @pbs, finally ticking Angkor Wat in Cambodia off my travel wish list, getting to work with the team at @nytimesjourneys (and visiting the @nytimes office in NYC!), and stepping up into a new role with a growing team of amazing colleagues at @urbanadventures. Also, there were all the trips not pictured here: Vietnam, Myanmar (for two hours), Sri Lanka, Abu Dhabi, London, Las Vegas. And, to get non-Instagram real, also not pictured here: all the times of worry, self-doubt, anxiety and stress. There were many moments this year when I felt like I was pushed to my breaking point... but then found my limits just might be further and higher than I thought I could handle. It’s been good, bad and ugly, sometimes all at the same time. I’m tired, 2018. But I think I’m also ready, 2019. Bring it on. Happiest of New Year’s, everyone! I hope you have a year ahead of achievements, adventure, love, kindness, strength and wonder. ❤️

From my morning run a few days ago. My fave route that I run all the time, but then sometimes you turn your head to look at that same lake view you’ve seen a thousand times and it stops you in your tracks.
