My 30 Before 30

I turned 29 at the end of February, and decided that I would succumb to the clichés and compile a 30 Before 30 list. A selection of things that I want to do in the next year, before I hit the big three-zero!

I might not do all of them - I haven't decided for definite about the tattoo! - and I've cheated slightly in that some of them I've already planned/booked. Some are fitness related and some are more lifestyle goals and ambitions, things that I've been meaning to try or do for a while - quite a few are linked to travel as I would like to do more of it. There are also some things that I've most definitely done before - I've just put them on the list as I really want to enjoy the experience again!

By writing a 30 Before 30 list I'm not saying that I think everything ends at 30 or that after that point you can't do fun things - it's more a little push to make sure I sign up and commit to getting the most out of this year 🙂

    Happy belated birthday 🙂 AMAZING cake.
    Great list! Love this idea. I'm not sure what I'd do... maybe the Inca Trail, visit Scotland, visit Ireland... Run an ultra. Cook a three course meal for family or friends (basically host a dinner party, I'd love to but I feel like it's a huge undertaking as I'd want to do it really well).

      Thanks Anna! Your list sounds amazing - I'd love to do the Inca Trail too sometime.

    That cake is fantastic! Happy belated birthday!
    It's too late for me, but I did a marathon as my 30th birthday present to myself- it actually fell later in my birthday month so I was already 30, so the last day of my 20's was spent doing a 20 mile training run/race.

    Happy Belated Birthday! LOVE the cake!

    I've seen lots of the 30 before 30 posts, I think they're a great idea and I love your list! ABSOLUTELY to number 3. Cats are the absolute best xD

    Tough one with what I would put on my list. There's a couple on yours that I would definitely have on mine. I really want to have the accomplishment of running a marathon..but when I run a half marathon.. there is no way I could ever imagine having to do another straight after xD Maybe one day!

    • misswheezy says:

      Haha I know what you mean about the marathon! We'll see if that one comes about, but it is something I would love to say I've done. I'm definitely a cat lover 🙂 x

  • Laureen @Peachylau says:

    Good idea! And yes, you HAVE to go to France!

    What a great list! It's too late for me, but maybe I could still make one for another milestone age. It will need some thought though. Maybe cycle from London to Paris - I'd love to do that and the idea of an adventure appeals.
