I'm turning 25 in exactly 1 week now and it’s safe to say I've already had some of my biggest adventures these past years.
I left my home country, Brazil, 4 years ago and I couldn't imagine how much my life would change from there.
My main TIP is planning. But of course it comes with working hard to put money on the side to be able to go.
Believe you can do this. Imagine that you are already there!
Here's my truly "Things To Do Before You Turn 30" travel bucket list!
Going to Europe + Learning a new language
As I mentioned, I left Brazil 4 years ago and I first went to Switzerland to learn French and to have my first experiences living alone.
We always learn a lot of travelling alone for the first time and after the first trip, you cannot stop.
You meet incredible people and learn about different cultures.
I always wanted to learn a new language and because I'm half French, I set my mind to it. It was a personal thing to do and it brought so many with it.
Volunteering
With WorkAway I had great times volunteering all across Europe.
My first volunteering trip was in Germany, where we helped kids from refugees's families learn French and English.
Honestly I saw the kids once and I spent most of my time in the kitchen where help was needed the most!
Traveling Solo
There are few things as liberating and exciting as traveling alone. My first solo trip changed my life, and the experiences it has given me are priceless.
Before you hit the big 3.0, plan a solo trip. You can start with a small road trip in your country or book a ticket to a faraway place you’ve been dreaming of. Whichever you decide, you’ll find that solo travel empowers you. You get to decide what you want to see, when you’re going to see it, if you’re going to sleep in late, where to eat, and so much more!
I still have a lot to accomplish in 5 years.
I hope this inspired you to make your own list and start your great adventure!
