A few years ago, I set a goal for myself. Up until then, I had barely visited a different timezone, let alone the rest of the world. I decided it was time to get out and see everything I still could, and set what felt like a fairly ambitious goal: visit all 50 states. I'm happy to say I've since crossed the finish line — all 50, done. I've also started making more international trips along the way, with 15 countries visited so far, and I'm always looking to add more to the list.
