So I had never been abroad and I was 33 years old. I felt like my life was like The Truman Show, I was trapped. Then I read The Secret and I realized that I did not even have a passport so I applied for a passport back in November of 2013.

Black Friday sales came around but still no passport. However, I bought myself my first suitcase, some sunglasses and new clothes.

My passport arrived on the 22nd of December. I had a friend on Facebook living in Germany who always said I was welcome to visit. I asked if I could come and I flew out on Christmas Eve and stayed at their apartment. On Christmas day we booked a coach to go to Amsterdam, and ended up there Christmas day and found an amazing deal on a 5 Hotel.
I went back to Germany on Boxing Day and flew home on the 28th.

I have been on countless trips ever since then and there is so much more to come! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
