Thirty Before Thirty!

I turned 29 at the beginning of this month and quite literally dived into the final year of my twenties at my birthday party by tripping over in killer platform boots and concussing myself on the patio door. It’s good to see that even though I’m getting older, I’m still an absolute divvy.

Anyway, since then I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the fact that I’m even closer to turning the big three-zero. It feels like such a milestone – and feels like I’m about to become a REAL adult! I’ve already got so much to look forward to in the final year of my twenties (you know, like getting married!!!), but I’ve decided to do a little bucket list as well to keep me busy.

It’s nothing major or fancy, it’s just some nice things that I would like to hopefully do over this next year before I begin another decade. So here it is – my thirty before thirty list!

Attend a life drawing session
Eat at a Michelin starred restaurant
Read at least 12 books
Bake some bread
Create my own comic book
Take a trip somewhere new
Go cold water swimming/have a dip in the sea
Feed some penguins
Learn to cross stitch
Perfect baking a macaron
Go on a camping trip
Get another tattoo
Watch the sunrise at the beach
Visit the Natural History Museum
Go stargazing
Practice meditation
Lose 1.5 stone
Do a UK comic con event
Make pasta from scratch
Go on a girls trip
Grow my own fruit or vegetables
Do a 30 day challenge
Take a trip to the Lake District
Have afternoon tea at The Ritz
Watch The Sopranos
Learn sign language
Build a Lego set
Face my fear of rollercoasters
Have an all night movie marathon
Do a scavenger hunt

So there we have it! No crazy skydiving scenarios, so sorry to disappoint you there, but a lot of these are things I’ve been saying I’ll do for quite some time and now feels like the right time to try and do them. I’ll most likely be sharing my experiences on here as I go so keep an eye out as I tick things off over the next 11 months!

What would be on your list? Let me know!
