30 Before 30

Everybody has a scary age right? That age that you think will never arrive, until suddenly it is there – lurking just around the corner. Well my scary age has always been 30. The big 3 0! When I was in junior school I had this teaching assistant who was 30, and I just remember thinking ‘woah, that’s old’. To be fair I was 10 at the time, so anything over the age of about 20 was old to me! But suddenly I am rapidly approaching my 29^th birthday (September if anyone is interested!), and the prospect of turning 30 is becoming much more real.

I have always loved a challenge, and thrive on doing new things. I feel it keeps me interesting – and young! So I have decided to compile a list of things to do before I’m 30. Things I have always wanted to do, but never got round to it. I am calling it the 30 Before 30 project.

So, I have one year and two months to complete my list. When I tick a goal off I will write about it (which will also give me ideas for my blog). Lets see if I can tick off all 30. Ready, set…..go!
