i'm extremely blessed & lucky to have traveled as much as i have & i fully realize that. my family has a strong belief in & pull towards traveling the globe & seeing the endless beauty that it has to offer. for myself personally, i think an essential part of life is to broaden my horizons & explore cultures or ways of living that differ from my own. i also think that traveling is the world's best way to seek adventure & step outside of my comfort zone.
here i have listed some of my most exciting and most memorable adventures that i have experienced in various countries across the globe. i also included my bucket list of things that i hope to do with the remaining years of this beautiful life...
