\nNew Year Eve London 2008 (Fireworks)<\/a>, originally uploaded by T@H!R – \u0637\u0627\u06be\u0631<\/a>.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n

\nIt’s that time again when we look back over the last 12 months and take stock of what we’ve done, and importantly, take a moment to think about what’s to come.<\/p>\n

For my part, it’s been a massive year of change. Leaving the BBC, joining Lonely Planet, and moving half way around the globe to live in Melbourne. Last year’s New Years Eve saw Catherine and I on the Thames watching the fireworks in Central London. This year we’ll be at home in South Wales surrounded by family as we prepare to move our whole lives to Australia permanently. <\/p>\n

It’s been a stunning 2008 – highlights include Mashed08<\/a> at Alexandra Palace, getting to St Petersburg on my motorbike<\/a> with Patrick and Stace, and running the BBC Innovation Labs<\/a> to great success.<\/p>\n

2009 will be a brilliant year I have no doubt. Catherine will join me in Oz, I get to run a new event (Lonely Travel Bloggers Awards)<\/a> in San Francisco, and with any luck I’ll get out to Alice Springs<\/a> on a new motorbike.<\/p>\n

Finally and most importantly. Happy New Year to you all. Thank you for your support, however offered, over 2008 and I look forward to spending more time with you all in 2009. Keep in touch \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
