Kelly's Korner: Lots to do before kids
By Juanita Kelly-Hill

As a woman, there is always someone who is asking you, “When will you have kids?” or “Don't you want to have a baby before your time runs out?”
It doesn’t matter if you have achieved your goals yet, or if you are in a healthy financial or mental space yet. There will always be someone who is pressing you about starting a family.
Before I have kids I want to travel to at least 20 countries outside of the United States before the idea crosses my mind.
Here is a list of the top 20 places I absolutely have to visit first:
- Japan
- Greece
- Maldives
- Jamaica
- Honduras
- Belize
- Turks and Caico
- Italy
- France
- London
- Egypt
- India
- Ghana
- Canada
- The Bahamas
- Bali
- Dubai
- US Virgin Islands (Technically part of the U.S., but you know what I mean)
- Cayman Islands
- Bora Bora
Notice I didn’t put any countries from South America or Australia because the wild life there freaks me out.
I also feel like I need to spend my years under 30 being selfish, focusing on myself, and exploring the many things the world has to offer.
The point of the story is to stop asking women when they’re going to have kids. You never know their plans or the battles they may struggle with. Having children is not all there is to a woman's life.
