30 Before 30. Thirty days in Europe. Thirty inspired moments of adventure to live it up before my 30th birthday. Just the idea of it gave me purpose. Here was a reminder that I could choose a new path, even if it was only for 30 days.
A little background first.
Ten years ago, if you had told me that at 29, a normal week for me would be taking Sienna Miller out for a night on the town, going to see an NBA Lakers game across the court from Jack Nicholson, and taking a celebrity-filled private jet to Vegas for a Maroon 5 concert, I would have laughed and said, “Order me another shot, crazypants”— of course, secretly hoping you were right.

I'll bet you've never had a Friday night like this (Pierce The Veil FanFic)
June. The summer vacation was upon us in Beverly Hills. No more getting up early, just hanging with my friends and boyfriend. This was the life! I was free to do anything I wanted. Time to be reckless. My name is Elliott Skye'd. You could say i was your average teen, but you would be way out of line. I don't fit in, I don't want to. My 19th birthday was a few days ago, but I have been drinking since I was 15. I was allowed to though. My mum hated my attitude so I was with my dad and his girlfriend at the moment. His girlfriend is into the same stuff as me, but she is extremely pretty. I look up to her as a role model. My dad doesn't really care, he is like me, but is 38. Smoking was one of my bad habbits. My mum locked me in a closet, when she found out I was smoking. Mean but it worked. My boyfriend, Jaime Preciado, has been happier ever since I stopped. His spikey hair had a strip of blonde in, which made him extremely adorable. A year ago, I persauded him and his friends to move down here from San Diego. I am glad I did.Complete
#Me too... I'm a waitress on cruise ships
Miami, Hawaii, Bahamas, Bora-Bora... "There must be a way to visit all these exquisite places besides in my dreams", thought Ann obsessively, during her last year of college. And indeed, she finally found one, despite her meager means, being born in a modest family, in a former communist country. 22 years old, with the college graduation out of the way, she applied for a job on cruise ships, halfway across the globe, in the sunny, exotic Caribbean Sea. It was just a waitressing job for which she had to leave everything behind... her family, her friends, her entire way of life up until then. Even her higher education was useless in this new endeavor of her life, but what else was there? Her wish was to travel, to see the world, to experience new cultures and being poor was not going to stop her. Little did she know about how excruciating would be to adjust to the life onboard, as part of a crew made of 1000 people from 77 different countries. 77 different cultures, traditions and customs, trying to make it work while sharing tiny, petty living quarters, in a prison like décor, located under the sea level, while working around the clock to create a dream vacation for thousands of rich, spoiled passengers. Shortly, the notion of cultural differences turned into a cultural abyss, but Ann finally discovered that the only two things uniting people across the globe are love and danger.Complete
