Years 2020-2021 will go down in history as one of the worst in recent memory. This period has been pretty eventful, to put it lightly. With the pandemic being the dominant problem, punctuated by a lot of calamities, the year felt like it came by fast and slow at the same time. These years have been very different from the previous ones, especially for travelers. We were all reeling from the harsh beating we endured during the pandemic.

But 2022 gave us an opportunity to get up again. Things weren’t completely back to normal, but it was a promising start.

Now, more than ever, the New Year is something we look forward to. As we welcome 2023, the New Year celebrations will probably be more familiar, more reminiscent of how we normally observe the occasion — with fireworks displays, a feast with the family, making loud noises, and street parties. But what it means is still the same: new beginnings.

Although you can always make a fresh start any day of the year, there’s something encouraging about celebrating it with the whole world. The changing of calendars somehow provides inspiration to start anew.

Since we weren’t able to travel over the past couple of years, the new year is a reset for us travelers. We all had a lot of time to reevaluate our journeys, figure out our mistakes, and dream to explore more places. So to help you be hopeful and more positive, here’s a little something. We made some artworks to motivate you to look forward to the coming year with hopes that things will get better! Happy New Year!
