I love the items you have on your list as I am going to steal quite a few and put them on mine as well. It is encouraging to see one living their life and pursuing what they want to do! Always looking forward to life’s next adventure. How do you find flexibility within your schedule to complete these tasks? I am sure to pay for these travels you have a job, I am just curious because I am looking to do something along the same lines as you, but have to tailor my life accordingly. Hopefully you receive this message and could reach me on my email provided!
