Where to begin?

Today I decided to start a blog.

It was not something that had been specifically on my mind before, but I often wish that I documented things in my life in an efficient manner. I would love to keep a diary so that in the future I could read it and marvel at all of the experiences, thoughts, feelings and issues that were so important to me in the past. But I don’t have the patience for writing things in a book that nobody would ever read. The main inspiration for starting lisavstheworld is a travel challenge I have set myself.

I want to visit 30 countries before I am 30.

This is a challenge I decided to embark upon this year after conversations with a friend who is significantly more well travelled than I. My friend (also called Lisa) has been to more countries than her years of age. During this conversation I realised I had not spread my wings far enough and decided to change that. Hence, 30 before 30.

I am 26 and to date I have visited just 13 countries. As part of this blog I will revisit the countries I have already been to and share my experiences of them, as well as documenting my future travel. But this blog will also contain posts about other aspects of my life: my career, my friends, my family, and in all likelihood a lot of food!
