2014 Reflection : Travels
12:55:00 AM
I travelled to places I have never been to and never imagined going. I went to Krabi, Jakarta, Bandung, Singapore, China and India. It was also a cuti-cuti Malaysia kind of year, as I also travelled to Alor Setar, Melaka, Pahang and Johor. In 2013 I did not expect to be travelling so much in 2014, and honestly I couldn't see myself travelling at all but I did.
I did not just mean it physically but also I have travelled as a person. I think I grew out a lot of things and travelled across a lot of areas I found myself in. I personally love this quote by Rumi:
“Travel brings power and love back into your life.”
― Rumi

It was also a big achievement for me that I went to Jakarta, Bandung, China and India without the husband. This was really an achievement because after we became parents to an angel it was so difficult for me to be apart from him. So what happened in 2014, me pushing the boundaries and travelling without him, felt really good. Of course, travelling with friends is the next best thing, and I really enjoyed going to Jakarta and Bandung with Shea Rasol and Nurul WW to meet Dian Pelangi and Lulu el Hasbu. I also went to China and India with Azrina.
That's not to say I didn't travel with the husband at all. We went to Krabi together for a short vacation that was really extremely amazing! It's one of the best vacations that I've ever had with him. We also went to Singapore, Alor Setar and Johor Bahru together and loved discovering these places. Most of my travels was actually for work, either blogging jobs or my fashion related business, but it has really been awesome. Travelling is one of my favourite things and of course if I can work while travelling, it is a bonus!
So 2014 has been incredible and amazing. All praises to God for the rizq.
I am really looking forward to travelling at the end of this month with the husband to a place we have dreamed to go together for so long. It will be my first travel in 2015, and I pray that both of us will have the rezeki to go because we have been wanting to go this past 2 years. May Allah grant me the strength, health and energy this year.
Other than that, I am not sure where I will be travelling to in 2015. But, last year's travels were all surprises and for some of those trips, I only got to know about them just a few days before so I'll be blessed if there are more surprises this year.
This is another great quote that I love about travelling:
This is another great quote that I love about travelling:
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”
― Mark Twain,
I am going to share some of my favourite travel photos from 2014. I know I promised to share about my travels to those places, I'll share them bit by bit, in due time.
