2016 Year In Miles
I traveled more in 2016 than any other year year by far. And it will likely be a long time before I travel as much in one calendar year again. I started grad school this past summer — time and money will be in short supply for the next three years. But instead of getting sad about it, I thought I would take a look back at my 2016 Year in Miles by the numbers:
