2019 in Retrospect (photoblog)

Posted on by mrsracho Posted in life

2019 has been nothing short of amazing! A rollercoaster ride, yes, with many emotional highs and lows, and rapid changes.

Before leaving for Canada, I found the time to look back and sort through my photos from this year and realised that I have to do a review of how my 2019 went and document it to put this year into perspective.

Below are just some of my favourite moments! What a year it was!
