 This is it. It's finished. Finito. Over. Now it's the time to close the chapter in both your lives and mine. It's the start of a brand new year. The calendar is a man-made concept. Just because a new year begins doesn't mean that everything is going to magically transform. But I think in our mind it gives us a fresh start and that's something that a lot of people I think need from 2020 as we move into 2021. Crazy year. I know a lot of you had some hard times. I have a lot of close friends that had some hardships that suffered some tragedy in 2020. For me in some respects it wasn't the best year, but in other respects it was a pretty darn good year. But I'm hoping that all of us get a fresh start, a clean slate, a little mental break as we move into 2021. I know for myself the year started off in a negative light. I actually have an article in the description below kind of recapping the year. We started out the year where we were coming off a really big failure in terms of our Kickstarter for Discover Hungarian Wine. The world started to go down, go and lock down. We found ourselves stuck here in Croatia. Then there was a huge earthquake. Our apartment was shaking with Zagreb's worst earthquake in 140 years. And throughout the year I had to kind of reinvent what we were doing on exotic wine travel. I know a lot of, I know I've seen a lot of people reinvent themselves here out of necessity. I know there are a lot of bigger problems in the world and life than just wine. You know, that's what we mostly talk about on this channel, but to some small producers, I think it's a big thing. A lot of sales were dropped. Obviously these are people's livelihoods at stake. And I think during this time where everybody was together a little bit more, wine's something that helps keep the conversations flowing and keeps us at the table longer with those we love. So in a way maybe it's not such an important thing, but maybe in a way to some people it is an important thing. I usually travel full time and that's great. Going out into the countryside, meaning with producers, meaning interesting people. Since I travel full time and I don't really have a normal social group of friends, in essence I think my human nature kind of needs those trips to have some social interaction with people to meet different people. So I'm not just stuck on my computer looking at the screen the whole time, which in this year I had to do a lot of. You know, I also had the time to check off a lot of things. I actually started our Patreon page, which is kind of small. It's a small community right now, but I'm really focused on ramping that up in 2021. We got our kind of first long-time partnership deal with Coravin. I've got a lot of videos, reviews I've been doing well on YouTube. You can check that out. Put all the links in the description box. I think in hard times, hard years like this, you really start to learn who the good and kind people are. And this year I actually had somebody reach out to us, let us stay in our holiday home in Croatia right on the beach for three to four months. And I have to say it was an incredible experience because I've been traveling full-time for the last six years to have kind of a home, so to speak, was just an interesting and foreign concept to me. Doing simple things like trimming the bushes, painting the shutters, doing all this little stuff. I really took pleasure in it because I hadn't done that kind of stuff in a long time. I still get to taste a lot of different wines, create a lot of different content for you. Producers were just flooding wherever I was staying with different samples. We have a lot of write-ups, a lot of videos. Ironically, in such a terrible year, our YouTube channel had the best year of the last six years. This YouTube channel is kind of silly, kind of a joke if you compare it to big-time YouTubers. But you know what? This is my space. This is my little segment, my little space of the internet world, the YouTube world. There were times where I definitely thought it was silly, kind of a joke. Maybe I should stop. But this year in particular, really every time I thought about quitting, something happened to just push me a little bit further. And that's when I'm going to start focusing on this channel full-time. We also had some breakthroughs in the digital space. I think that people started to realize that maybe you don't always have to have employees or people go to work being a physical space. A lot of things can be done digitally. I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with Zoom now, know how to use Zoom. So in the end, I think I know a lot of us are eager to move on to 2021. But there's a lot to be thankful for in 2020. I know I'm thankful for a lot of stuff that happened this year, even though there were some hardships. So let's raise a glass. Let's hope that 2021 is great for all of us. As we move forward, you'll see me focusing a lot on this YouTube channel. I think we're going to stretch out a little bit, stretch the audience, talk kind of a little bit about the digital Nomad lifestyle, want to incorporate a little bit more food on this channel. But of course, exotic and unique wine. So I hope you join us. If you haven't subscribed yet, consider subscribing. And I will see you in a better year. Hello, thanks for watching.
