I collaborated with some other travel bloggers and compiled a collection of different sand dunes around the world!

It’s been 17 YEARS since I first travelled overseas! I’m 1 country away from setting foot on 40 different countries worldwide and today I thought I’d share some of my travel mishap memories!

Everything in this list helped me grow or challenged me in some way. Things can happen when you travel in your home country too not just when you’re overseas.
