So excited to visit California for the first time ever! I will get a chance to see San Diego and hopefully a few other parts of the "Golden State" as well.

I will be skydiving in Hawaii and crossing out a number of other things on the "Before 30 Bucket List."

This trip also gives me enough frequent flyer miles for a free ticket to anywhere in the world! I'm thinking Europe-for the second time around- and getting to spend some time with old friends in their native country of Holland... more on that later... Until then, be well yall.

Cheers!

Before 30 Bucket List

In a few days I will be off traveling again and will be doing a significant amount of it in the next two or three months. Most notably, I will be going to meet up with my former roommate from Boston, Tyas. Known as Mr. Van Boston, Tyas and I had a blast during our brief tenure in Beantown together.

After he finished his classes, T set off traveling the continental US, hitting hot spots such as New York, LA, Miami, Vegas, SF- he is trying to pack in as much as possible during his last few weeks... His current and my impeding travels have got me thinking, "what else do I want to do and see before I turn 30?"

So, without further adieu, here are SOME of the tasks on my "Before 30 Bucket List"

1) Complete a food challenge
