And voila, here we are, I turned 30th without a hitch. Conclusion: I do not run faster or slower, but my desire to continue traveling is there more then ever .
Since I was a little girl, travel is my thing (I wanted to be a stewardess). Probably because I had the chance to go to the other side of the world soon enough … I think I was especially intrigued by my Malagasy roots but hey I will talk about this in another post.
Well that said, this year will be special, I decided to take the time to live, something I had forgotten to do for a while. So I set two goals.
- Enjoy a trip of four months in New Zealand and South East Asia on 1 March 2015.
- Honor my friends who had the brilliant idea to make me work during that time.
For my 30th birthday, they submitted 30 Crazy challenges that I have to achieve during my trip. So in someway, this blog is for them. So they can follow my adventures in the coming months. Basically, each challenge will be a 15-second video that I will publish on my instagram account
