Trying Fifty-Two New Things For A Second Year

The things I tried in 2019

My new year’s resolution in 2018 was to try 52 new things. Despite leaving a few too many new experiences until the end of the year, I succeeded in my challenge! I enjoyed it so much, that I decided to do it again in 2019!

Below are all of the fifty-two new things I tried over the fifty-two weeks in 2019. Write ups will be coming soon!
