It’s been tradition since I turned 30 to do that number of adventures in that year to keep me brave and trying new experiences. Sometimes I did things just to be able to put it on my list because it challenged me to get outside my comfort zone. I’ve become quite the introvert and my anxiety has increased since having babies, so this is my way of pushing myself and also focusing on how wonderful and adventurous life is.
