So with less than a month to go before I turn 40 I have been perusing the photo albums and reflecting on things I have done whilst I have been on this wonderful earth…..turns out I have done some pretty cool stuff!
I thought I would share my ‘Top 40’ things I have seen or done during some of my travels around the world.
Here they are, in photographic form – in no particular order. I wonder what the next 40 years will bring!?
