So regardless of if you know me from real life, work, or @dejatheexplorer: you know I've had this goal for the last few years. This goal was to visit 30 countries before I turned 30 years old. But guess what?! I REACHED IT EARLY!!
By the grace of God (and some pretty good deal-finding), I was able to visit 30 countries before I turned 25... which is five whole years early. It's so crazy because I've been working to reach this goal for a while. When I realized I was close to reaching it, I got a bit anxious lol. I didn't want to tell too many people I was getting close because I was afraid that something would happen and I wouldn't be able to do what I planned (especially given everything going on with COVID).
But wow, I really really made it! I'm still so surprised at myself LOL. For this blog post, I'm just hear to share the good news. I'm going to be creating more content related to me reaching my goal soon, so make sure y'all let me know what kind of content y'all want to see.
