I found this tag over at Hayley's blog and I thought it would be a fun one to do. But I have to admit that it was kind of hard to think of 50 things that were interesting enough to write. But hopefully this list will get you to know a little more about me. And let me know if you do this tag because I would love to know 50 things that you've done!

ReplyDeleteI creepily knew a lot of this stuff about you already...
But hey, I really want to go to Reykjavik (because I read a murder mystery based there) so we should do that sometime!
And why are you wearing a t-shirt in Helsinki you crazy lady?!
I feel like this makes my life seem pretty uneventful! Other than traveling a bit when I was younger and a few trips to the hospital, I've got nothing! But I'd have to say - a lot of these things on your list are on my bucket list of things to do before I die! Snorkeling and skiing, for example. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt took me forever to write this I'm impressed by how quickly you added this! I sucked at German too x
ReplyDeleteOoh I loved reading this, such a lovely post idea! <3
