POY Meets World

Explore with me

Category: Bucket List

The first blog I ever published in 2012 was a Bucket List style blog where I would share goals related to travel, fitness and adventure, and then blog about my experience going down the list, while also dragging friends with me along the way!

My next set of adventures will definitely relate to entrepreneurship and building community! When I am able to combine my passions and skills, with travel and adventure (like my trip to Tel Aviv) it is the ultimate win-win for me!
