One of the defining aspects of my 2018 was travel. There was travel for fun, travel for work, and travel for adventure. This year, I was fortunate enough to visit all seven continents, so in honour of my selfie habits over on my photo blog, here are some of my favourite selfies from this year, by continent.
South America
South America was entirely for fun and adventure. My dad and I got to tourist our way around, before we visited Antarctica.
Argentina: Boating adventure under the Iguazu Falls. 
Brazil: At the top of the Iguazu Falls. 
Argentina: at the Obelisco de Buenos Aires. 
Argentina: Inside the Casa Rosada, with my dad. 
Chile: At the Cape Horn Albatross Memorial. 
Chile: At Punta Arenas airport, about to fly to the next continent…
Antarctica
Leaving from Punta Arenas, we travelled with Aurora Expeditions south along the Antarctic Peninsula, crossing the Antarctic Circle, before returning north again. Visiting Antarctica was one of the most spectacular, other-worldly, and unforgettable experiences of my life. If you’ve ever considered it, I highly recommend taking the plunge! (Both figuratively and literally. 😉)
King George Island 
Deception Island: About to discover the joys of snorkelling in Antarctic waters. 
A biblical assault on the senses. 
Neko Harbour: On the Antarctic mainland! 
Snowball fights on an iceberg south of the Antarctic Circle. 
Dallmann Bay: The only thing colder than wearing a drysuit in Antarctic waters… 
Cuverville Island: I am skeptical of silly hat parties.
North America
Work dominated my travel to North America, but there was some time for fun and selfies.
San Diego: No selfie collection would be complete without a Sealfie. 
Orlando: Just me and 700 of my closest friends. 
Orlando: I’m skeptical of dragons. 
Nashville: The face of a person who just launched WordPress 5.0.
Asia
Thanks to a long layover, I just managed to visit Asia, dropping in for dinner with some friends in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong: How could I pass on a selfie with a giant Garfield?
Europe
Europe was mostly work travel, which meant a distinct lack of selfies, sadly. This is clearly a shortcoming in my selfie taking habits that I need to work on next year.
Italy: Visiting the Duomo di Milano. 
Italy: The joys of the Italian rail system. 
England: Sunday lunch!
Australia
Home was a place for fun, family, and a little bit of introducing my kids to the excitement of travelling! 😁
I don’t know where my children get this from. 
Melbourne’s primary religion: Australian Football. 
I. Am. Adorable. 
I don’t just travel solo… 
Planning the next adventure.
(I wish I could fit into an economy seat like a three year old.)
Africa
Rounding out the year, my first trip to Africa! Just a little adventure to Kenya, seeing a few of the sights, but leaving plenty more for my next trip. 🤫
Nairobi: Elephants get all the fun. 
Hell’s Gate National Park: Zebras run away when you try to take a selfie with them. 
Nairobi: Hello, new friend! 
Nairobi: Oh, hello, new friend! (Technically not a selfie, but I love this photo too much to leave it out.) 
Nairobi: Happy New Year!
So, that’s been my year of travel. I flew 202,717km, visiting 28 cities in 12 different countries, maintaining an average speed of 23km/h over the year.
I’m looking forward to an exciting 2019, I hope your 2019 will be excellent, too. Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉
