In a matter of 20 years..

Today marks the last day of my teen years. I wanted to make this post to re-visit the amazing life I've been able to live so far. Tomorrow I'll be 20. It's just another year and it's nothing too exciting to some, but it's a huge deal to me. This past week I couldn't help but remind myself of all of the amazing opportunities I've had in my life so far. The number of times I've moved, the friends I've made, the places I've visited, and the upcoming events I'm about to be a part of. It's all so exciting and life is so great. So.. here I am.. sharing some of the highlights of the past 20 years.

I've had the amazing oportunity to travel to many parts of this world, none of my travels would be possible without my amazing family. I remember going to Tunesia which is in North Africa when I was about 7 or 8 years old. My grandparents decided to take my sister and I on a 5 day long vacation to this beautiful country. 5 days in the hotest place I've ever been, so hot that we were convined to the hotel during the day because our skin wouldn't be able to handle the heat. Yet, aside from the excrutiating warmth, I had the time of my life.

Another vacation was my trip to Paris with my dad and sister. He decided to take us on an unforgettable 3 day trip through Paris, France to explore the Eifel Tower and Euro Disney. I couldn't be more thankful for the opportunity to see such amazing places, including Italy and many states in the US. Although I've moved as many times as I had in a matter of 20 years, I wouldn't trade the adventures for anything in the world.

Since everyone has a bucket list of things they want to do or should do before they turn 20, I'd like to post a list of 20 things I did before I turned 20.

(Disclaimer, although I don't find it necessary to post a disclaimer on a blag post meant to re-visitng the past, I find it very important to make it a point that I am by no means bragging or putting myself above others, I've had many opportunities and this if for me to remember and share my life, hence the title of this blog "Raechel on Adventures" )
