At 24 years old I have been priviledged, hard-working, and lucky enough to have visited, lived or volunteered my way through some of the world's most stunning countries. Although my explorations feel as if they are just beginning, it is always good to take a walk down memory lane and pull gratitude out from what has already blossomed.


Here is a list of 15 countries I have visited, and a single caption to encapsulate my takeaways and adventures through them.
