Since I’m turning 33, I thought I would share 33 best travel experiences over the years. This particular birthday doesn’t feel all that big to me, but when I think about all I’ve experienced so far, I feel pretty grateful. If there’s one thing that I’m certain of in all of the years I’ve been alive, it’s that I’ve had a lot of wonderful experiences traveling. I figured what better way to celebrate my birthday today then to post about my favorite topic. Travel.
