2017—what an awesome year

I just realized that another year just passed and I thought what another unspectacular year it was. But when looking back and reflecting, this year was absolutely not normal. I scrolled my calendar back and spotted an amazing time back in 2017.

First some stats…

I was just curious and played around with some numbers. Because all my steps and activities are tracked by Google Maps, I do have a lot of data to use.

Then I added some manual metrics to it and came up with some amazing stats:

In 2017 I…

… slept 110 nights in another location than my home.

… stayed in 26 different hotels

… did 62 smaller and bigger journies (10 of them were outside my home country)

… worked a 100% workload

… traveled by public transportation for about 16k Swiss francs

… took 10 flights

… have been to 11 different countries

… visited 27 large cities (8 of them were capitals)

I like to guide you through my awesome year as a review. Let’s start the year 2017:

Beside all these activities outside my main work, I also achieved a lot as a web developer. This year was more focused on the activities I’ve done during my leisure time than work itself. Although a lot of activities were work-related like conferences and meetups.
