Life’s a Beach! 30++ Beaches Visited

Part of my goal when I started traveling is to visit at least 30 beaches in the country before I reach 30. A simple life is good for me.  I don’t need a whole lot, just a shirt, a pair of shorts, slippers or barefoot on a beach, I am happy.

The beach is definitely where I feel most at home. I even think, that maybe in my past life I’m a sea creature..LOL
