So, since it would be impossible to post about every detail that has happened in the past 15 months, I'll just try to make this as laconic as possible, giving you just the highlights and excising the foofaraw.
February 2012
Continued with work and discovered these awesome Valentine's Day cards:
March 2012
Nothing particularly interesting except hitchhiking within the UK and ending my relationship with my much too young, but still legal, boyfriend.
April 2012
I discovered the joys of making homemade hummus and pita bread.
May 2012
My sister came to visit me and we went around the UK.
June 2012
A few of my friends came to visit me and I played tour guide.
July 2012
I turned a quarter century old and received some tickets to the London Olympics! Being a mature 25-year-old, I went to Thorpe Park to celebrate!
August 2012
Went to a few of the Olympic events and the closing ceremony, effectively crossing off something on my bucket list.
September 2012
Ran my second marathon! My time was 03:51:06.18
October 2012
Confirmed to vote with an absentee ballot (via e-mail!) and fully immersed in the 2012 U.S. Presidential Elections.
November 2012
Voted early and when the results were out, I was pleased, though not sure if my vote even mattered. Also celebrated Thanksgiving and ironically invited my British friends.
December 2012
My Southeast Asia backpacking trip (+ the wedding!) I traveled around Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, and Singapore, hitchhiking along the way and getting scuba certified. I won't say too much about the trip since I did promise a terse summary of my past year and few months, but I must say this part of the world was amazing! I hitchhiked with a diverse group of drivers, sometimes on the back of motorcycles, met Spaniards at a restaurant in Phuket who introduced me to a diving school in Koh Tao, which got me a discount, but I had to learn how to scuba dive in Spanish with Spaniards! I met the most lovely woman in Singapore who was like my platonic soulmate, enjoyed the smiling faces of Cambodia, and tried the strangest fruit in the world, durian, in Malaysia.
January 2013
Back to Europe and the cold for the holidays...
February 2013
The endless winter continues to torment me.
March 2013
Ran my third marathon (and performed slightly worse than the last) at 03:57:29.19.
April 2013
Attempted to hitchhike to Cyprus, failed, and ended up spending time in Romania instead.
I'll probably have to upload pictures some time, but I'm really lazy about that since once you have more than 3,000 pictures to upload, the task seems so daunting. That's it for the quick update for now. I'll try my best to be a better blogger from now on (but with hitchhiking, work, and studies, the task can be a bit much at times, so no concrete promises).

Yay you posted! I wanted to ask you Kerstin if you had any golden rules when it comes to hitchhiking through Europe? I'm going abroad this summer and I want to travel around a bit, but I'm a bit apprehensive.
