HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT: I’m quitting…

Guys. I have a HUGE announcement to share.

I am quitting travel for good.

Or at least, that was what I imagined I’d have to do as soon as I turned 30.

I thought this would be the age where I’d finally have to settle down, trading in plane tickets for kids and a house with a white picket fence.

Yet, as I’ve just reached the big 3-0, I don’t feel ready to settle down at all. In fact, I’m more ready for new adventures than ever before.

I’ve seen a lot of people doing a 30 before 30 bucket list, as if you have to cram in all the cool things you want to do in your life before you enter that next dreaded decade.

So, I’ve decided to start a 30 after 30 bucket list.

I’m on a mission to prove to myself that my 30’s can be as fun and adventurous as my 20’s… With the added bonuses of less insecurities and more disposable income.

If you’re in your 30’s and you resonate with any of this, follow along as I’m going to be taking you on some epic bucket list adventures over the next year (and will attempt to update this blogpost with each of them as I go!)

PS. I’m taking suggestions for a few more things to put on my 30 after 30 bucket list, so if you have any ideas, do comment on this post and let me know!
