30 before 30

June 11, 2021 – In my early twenties, I made a decision to travel to 30 countries before I turned 30. To be fair, I already had a number of places under my belt, so it felt pretty achievable. Obviously 2020 threw a small wrench into this goal, but I’m determined to still cross the final few off my list.

To hold me accountable, I want to share my list with you all! And also hear your recommendations for my travel wish list! Who knows, maybe I’ll do this again between 30 and 60…!? OK, I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s get to the list:
