It’s a cliche for a reason, but we should make the most of each and every day.

When I was 16, I lost my dad, and in the years that followed, I also lost my grandparents, uncles, and a few good friends.

Since then, it has been my mission to pursue all of my dreams.

My bucket list included experiencing the adrenaline rush of bungee jumping in South Africa, the freedom of road-tripping around Australia, scuba diving in the Philippines, and marveling at the Northern Lights in Iceland.

Although I’ve been able to cross off many of these experiences in recent years, there is still so much to discover on our beautiful planet and I hope that the adventures on this blog will encourage you to keep pursuing your goals as well.
