Yet another year is coming to an end. Time flies very fast nowadays. Although with all the ups and downs faced around the year, 2011 is still a remarkable year for me, wholly. The number of countries I traveled to may be less than the previous year but it still offers me many new and great experiences. I’ve compiled a list of my 10 best moments in 2011. Doing the once in a lifetime skydiving in Queenstown did tops my list in 2010. Here are my 10 best moments of 2011.
