33 Experiences I can Thank Travelling For..

When you come home from your travels, you find yourself very soon looking through your photographs and reminiscing on all the incredible moments you got to do.
I look back and I realise that I have done so many amazing things that are pretty mind blowing. I worked my backside off to be able to do and see the things I can tell stories about but I am also very lucky for everything to have fallen into place the way it did.

I was feeling nostalgic, so here's a list of just a handful of those things..
And its all thanks to the beautiful big world we live in and the opportunities that are out there, you just have to go get them!
