Thirty divided by seven.

That’s the equation Becca Hisamoto has been solving for the last nine years. She knows the answer: Setting foot on all seven continents by the time she hits 30 years old.

Looks like she’s going to make it.

She turns 30 in September 2023 and already has been to six continents: North America; South America; Europe; Africa, Asia; Australia. She has a trip planned for November to hit the ice in Antarctica.

“I eat, live and breathe travel,” says Hisamoto, who talks about her travels with an equal level of necessity. “It’s so fun to be out of my comfort zone and to be an observer in those types of situations. I grew up thinking that my life was very average and normal, and my routine was normal for everybody until I started traveling.”
