Slowly, ever so slowly I am moving out of my 20's and into my 30's. Next month I will be 28, which in the grand scheme of ages is not very old at all. Still I've always been led to believe that yours 20's are the fun filled years - the years where you get 'stuff done' 'find yourself' etc etc.
I can look back over the past 8 years and yes, I can conclude that I have had fun and I have got 'stuff done'.
I've done some of the big milestones, I've been in love, I've been to university, I got myself a career and a good job, I've moved out of my parents house and I've even started saving for a deposit.
It's been 10 years since I was 18. No my life isn't what I thought it would be, but then who's really is? I would have loved to achieved more - travelled more, stayed in love, bought a house. But over the past 8 years it just wasn't meant to be, but that's not to say I haven't achieved anything because I have.
Enter the '30 before 30' this is a concept that has been whirling round the internet for some time, basically it consists of compiling a list of 30 things to achieve before (Wait for it) the age of 30.
I am going to share my list with you, some of it is trivial, some of it is a little more meaningful.
