Reflections

Reflections from the past decade.

I am officially 30. I was a little freaked out about turning 30. It always seemed so old, yet here I am. I have been thinking about my life and reflecting on the past decade. Adventurous Kate (my travel inspiration) wrote a blog post titled “30 things I Didn’t Do Until I Turned 30. My blog post consists of 30 various life moments/countries I have been to throughout the past decade. I know my thirties are going to even better than my twenties.
