Time flies. It is the end of 2018 now and I can't wait to welcome 2019! Ever since I wrote about the recap in 2017, I decided to write about the recap every year to document all my memories and some highlights during the specific year. So of course, today's topic is all about some highlights that happened in 2018.
Basically, I will briefly talk about each of the highlights and if I blogged about it before, I will put the link of the blog post so if you're interested, you can just directly click on the link to read more. I hope it won't be a lengthy post because I guess you guys might not have time to read them all. Lol

Travelled #16 Countries
Can't believe I ticked off my bucket list one by one. This year, I had travelled a total of 16 countries! I'm looking forward to the #17 countries on my list. Still not sure which country should I put in for the number 17 because there are so many countries on my bucket list. HAHAHAIf you're interested in checking out all the travelogues of countries that I have visited, you may visit this link : #TravelWithShini
Visited 4 countries this year
I promised myself I should travel to at least one country each year and I'm pretty sure I did it well! Ever since I set this goal for myself, I travelled to at least 4 countries every year. Lol. This year, I had travelled to Vietnam, Japan, Cambodia and South Korea. I can't wait to explore other countries. I'm currently still working on the South Korea and Cambodia itinerary. Meanwhile, you can refer to the completed itinerary as follows :Vietnam : #ShiniInVIETNAM
Japan : #ShiniInJAPAN
South Korea : #ShiniInKOREA
A Sponsored trip to South Korea
I always think I'm a "happy-go-lucky" girl. Thanks to KTO Malaysia, I get the opportunity to visit South Korea on a media trip. I had visited South Korea a couple of times, but every time I visited Seoul and Busan. This time, we visited a total of 6 provinces once which included Ganghwado, Songdo, Yeosu, Suncheon, Jeonju and Seoul.To be honest, I actually feel happy and guilty at the same time when I'm receiving the invitation to a sponsored / media trip. Mainly because I have a full-time job and I can't constantly take leave for travelling. I had rejected more than 10 sponsored trips only in 2018. Yes, literally every month I got a FAM trip invitation. I feel so bad because I wish I could join them all. However, if I want to join them meaning I have to travel every month or twice per month which is impossible for me.
Anyway, I really appreciate all the sponsors and my client for believing in me. You guys are AMAZING and please keep inviting me for the FAM trip. Lol. Cause you know I love travelling.
Online Features
Compared to 2017, I admit I'm not really active on my blog. Instead, I started to put more content and spend more effort on my Instagram. Being a blogger is not enough, so now we need to become KOL / Influencer. I wouldn't really be called myself an influencer because I don't think I'm popular. Personally, I still prefer "Blogger" as my title.On the other hand, thanks for the online features. I really appreciated it.
