Goals for 2024
Disclaimer: I'm not really going to beat myself up if I don't accomplish all of these and more so approaching these as a list of things I want to try or do in 2024. More bucket list-esque but limited to the timespan of a year.
Goal Go on a solo trip
Why I want to go on a trip somewhere by myself! Nothing super intense like international travel, but potentially out of the state. I've never traveled on my own and explored an area by myself. I want to know myself better and have the opportunity to see what happens when I'm navigating the world on my own.
Next Step Decide where to go
