It’s that time of year again! The time when everyone is thinking of their New Years Resolutions, and goals they want to achieve for 2020.
2019 has been a rollercoaster of a year for pretty much everyone. We wanted to share some of our year with you, as we always do, in some sort of capacity.

Peak/Best Moment of the Year:
DAD
- Time spent with kids and partners
LARA
- There are SO many to count! Lying on the roof of our jeep in Joshua Tree looking up at the stars and listening to music feeling free and inspired… OR my day trip to Banff! It was such a gift and the most magical winter wonderland!
PETER
- Captain! Getting my new dog easily takes the top spot!!
SAM
- Being told my work has improved the quality of someone’s life

Favourite Places We Went To:
DAD
- Mdina, Malta & Beaches of Fueteventura
LARA
- Again! So hard! Either Bali, or Joshua Tree (so good I had to go twice!)
PETER
- Florence, it was so nice to go back after 7 years!!
SAM
- Lapland – Finally managed to tick off all of Scandinavia!
ELLA
- All the euro trips! I’m a sucker for a good Euro city break but it was definitely nice to rewrite my impressions of Paris having only previously been on school trips!
Biggest Lesson of 2019:
DAD
- Lots… to differentiate how you feel about someone with your feelings surrounding their behaviour in a given moment
LARA
- To trust and surrender to a bigger plan outside of myself. But, as well, to also trust myself that I know what is best for me, and what I need. Leading with my heart.
PETER
- Save money
SAM
- The perfect employer doesn’t exist, better off making it on your own
ELLA
- I learnt a lot about friendships, relationships and the changing dynamics – also, just don’t sweat the small stuff.
3 Words To Describe Intentions for 2020:
DAD
- Dream, believe, achieve
LARA
- Embodiment, trust, flow
PETER
- Travel, save, enjoy
SAM
- Make more money
ELLA
- Adventures, jollity, Glastonbury (I’m still praying for this one, any additional prayers & manifesting is very much appreciated!)
Planned Places to Travel to in 2020:
DAD
- Eagles Brae, Italy
LARA
- Starting the new year in Bali, maybeeee Koh Phangan, LA, then after that, who knows… going with the flow
PETER
- San Francisco, Japan
SAM
- Azerbaijan and Berlin
ELLA
- Bali and Byron Bay, Australia are already in the books for January. Who knows where else, definitely looking into Costa Rica or South Africa for some conservation projects – and of course maybe the odd Euro break!
