I’ve always loved traveling (I’ve been adding to my Ultimate World Travel Bucket List since I was a girl) but life has never really given me the chance to truly explore the world. In college, I was on the pre-med track and couldn’t spare the time or mental bandwidth. Then, I jumped into my Master’s program before I had even finished my undergraduate degree and just two months later I moved across the country and started my big-girl life.

But enough is enough!
