As I turned 30 today, I have been reflecting on the summation of my 20s and I decided to create a visualization of it. A decade ago, I celebrated my 20th birthday in Japan… and it was my first time abroad. As I reflect back, it is clear that the most recurring theme the past 10 years has been travel and adventure. I’m excited to discover what the next decade will bring!
Throughout our road trip from Seattle to Austin, I kept fastidious notes and numerical tallies of every place we stopped, ate, slept, drank, got gas, and so much more. Yes, I know I’m a little crazy, but I thought it would be fun to play with the data later. Here is a visualized roundup of some of that data. I left out many of the fine details such as the names of each restaurant, bar, campground, etc. and their exact locations on the map in order to keep it relatively high level.
