i arrived a few days before carnival, which was a perfect way to do it because it allowed me to explore venice pre carnival crowd! then carnival started and it was very cool to see all those unbelievable costumes, experience the excitement. carnival is very much more of a family event than i imagined, with lots of period costumes in addition to the amazing masked costumes, and lots of vivaldi being played. i’m very glad i went and experienced this!

How I did it
How I did it: i went on a flight in las vegas. i got to be in the very front right next to the pilot so i got to look straight down. it was fun buzzing around the strip and up near the stratosphere tower. now i want to learn to fly one, which is now on my list of things to do! Read how I did it…
How I did it: planned a trip to europe that coincided with radiohead tour. watched for ticket sales on the band's website. got to see them in london, glasgow, and amsterdam. seeing concerts over there is a totally different and worthwhile experience! Read how I did it…
