30 for 30

Hey y'all!

I am leaving for a two week trip to Europe in a few days so I wanted to pop in and say hello before I leave. I'll save the heavy, business content for when I return - today I'll be giving you my 30 for 30. I was inspired by Hilari Williams and created a list of 30 things I want to do before I turn 30. Since I haven't talked much about my personal life on here yet, I hope this will give you a glimpse into who I am and maybe inspire you to do one yourself!
