It's been a minute since we've had a proper Year in Cities, amirite? But boy 2022 has been a DOOZY on the Road Warrioring front! Please enjoy this small subset of travel photos from the year:

By the numbers:
- 81 nights on the road
- 284 nights at home in my own bed
- 26 unique cities
- 5 countries
Had you told me at the beginning of 2022 that I would be doing this much traveling, I would have said you'd been sniffing the crazy glue. But somehow road warrioring continues to find a way.
What will 2023 bring? Will it rival 2022? One can never say with certainty, but a number of trips are already in the works, so it's likely we'll have at least a moderately interesting Year in Cities 2023. :)
(All listed cities are those in which I spent at least one night between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2022, with * denoting those cities in which I spent multiple non-consecutive nights.)
