Traveled a lot in 2017 for mainly work and managed to travel for fun too. Kicked off 2017 with a trip to Las Vegas for attending CES 2017 and my last trip of the year was a trip to Maui, Hawaii almost in the other side of the world. Here is a list of my top travel destinations for 2017. Hope to travel more in 2018
Las Vegas
CES 2017 was so much fun and tiring. Managed to spend some time in California post CES.

Barcelona
Going to Barcelona, Spain has become like a yearly ritual for me and 2017 was exciting too. I managed to discover a few more countries on this trip.
