Dear readers,
As we wrap up another incredible year on belleelene, I find myself reflecting on a journey filled with peaks conquered, countries explored, and new beginnings embraced. This year found me back into my student home in Greece, after almost six years abroad. I have to admit, it wasn’t feeling positive at all in the beginning. Eventually, it has been a full year to say the least; I’ve traveled to 5 countries, explored 8 new areas in Greece, picked up 3 new hobbies, got a new piercing and started a new job. These pursuits have not only been personally fulfilling but have also connected me with amazing individuals who have turned into lifelong friends. The blog has been growing steadily, and I got my first affiliate collaboration with SkyHook. As I express my gratitude for your unwavering support and encouragement, I eagerly anticipate the new year, envisioning more peaks to conquer, places to discover, and moments to cherish.
If you’ve enjoyed following my adventures on belleelene, I’d be immensely grateful if you could share the blog with your friends and on your social media platforms (this blog, instagram: @belleelene_fox or facebook: belleelene.com). Your support means the world. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey!
Merry Christmas to all of you. I wish you a wonderful new year. As we say in Japan, look forward to a good year, 良いお年を(yoi otoshi o) !
With love,
Elena
