Our first vacation together was to Napa Valley while were dating back in 2013. Then we got married in Napa in 2014. And the rest is history I guess! This is a very special place to us that has many memories tied to it🍷🍇 

Looking forward to see what the next 10 years has in store! Love doing life with you @alexgrivna 🥰😘

28 Trips I Want to Take Before 30

So……today is my 28th Birthday! As I have gotten older, birthdays have become more and more uneventful, but I thought I would try to make this one a little exciting with a fun blog post.

As you all have seen, we have been doing A LOT of traveling. Ever since we went to London and Dublin over Christmas/New Years, all I want to do is see more. Alex and I spend a lot of time talking about our goals and dreams in life, and luckily, travel is something we both agree on. We both are very motivated to travel as much as we can, while we can.

For today’s post, I decided to put together a quick list of 28 places I want to travel to before I turn 30. I think 28 trips is a lot of travel to do in 2 years, but I think we can make it work (as long as our managers allow it!). The list, in no particular order, is as follows…..

  1. Thailand
  2. Vietnam
  3. Japan
  4. Argentina
  5. Alaska
  6. New Orleans, LA
  7. Italy
  8. Greece
  9. Fredericksburg, TX
  10. Costa Rica
  11. Drive down the entire California Coast
  12. Maine
  13. Banff, Canada
  14. Charleston, SC
  15. Vail, CO
  16. Walla Walla, WA
  17. Oregon Wine Country
  18. France
  19. Grand Canyon
  20. Alabama
  21. Mississippi
  22. Yosemite National Park
  23. Africa
  24. Sweden
  25. New Mexico
  26. Jamaica
  27. Lake Tahoe
  28. Bali

After reading through this list one more time, I think I better start saving every penny I make – haha! We will see what we are able to accomplish in the next couple of years. We do plan to work full-time, so that will probably be our biggest hurdle when trying to plan these vacations.

Have you all been to any of these destinations? If so, I would love to talk to you and hear your tips! I do a lot of research online before we go, but getting recommendations directly from a friend is way better.

I am excited for another year of life, and I am feeling truly blessed for all that I get to do in life. Cheers to 28!

    I’m from New Orleans (currently live in Texas)….I’ve been to Italy, Greece, Fredericksburg (going back in October), France and Jamaica. Dying to go to Banff and planning a big road trip next year that will include New Mexico and Grand Canyon.

        Absolutely! Love to share any of my travel experiences. You came up on my Pinterest while I was researching my Spain trip.

          Let me know if you have any other questions about Spain! I posted a full 10 day itinerary and I should have my Madrid guide published today or tomorrow!
