A few months ago, as my travel opportunities while living in Spain bounded beyond my wildest dreams, I proposed to myself a challenge: visit 25 countries while 25 years old.

A week ago I arrived back in the United States and am proud to say I did it!

25 Countries in One Year

Though I am back state side for a while, the stories won’t stop. I just completed a month of travel in Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Slovenia and am brimming with stories to share.

Here’s to living boldly and never slowing down!

And now, a look back at the 25 countries I visited since turning 25 in October. In order: Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Germany, Morocco, the United Kingdom, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Monaco, San Marino, Slovenia, the United States.
