04 Dec 50 Things To Do Before Turning 50
It is true. I will be turning 50 in 2023. Most of the things on this list have nothing to do with travel. Some things will take a year to accomplish, and others are one-time events. I thought hard to find 50 things on this list, but I started thinking of things I wanted to do. It was easy. I will be updating this list during the year, and providing updates on my progress.
