30 Before 30 Bucket List

by | Apr 17, 2019 | 0 comments

Today I was reading a post in the Solo Female Traveler Network on Facebook that said “Anyone else doing 30 before 30?” I assumed the post meant 30 countries before turning 30 since it’s a travel group but I looked up “30 before 30 meaning” anyway. All these different bucket list articles came up—some listing things I don’t relate to and others covering things I’ve already done.

Since I just turned 26 and that fateful day when I turn 30 is only four years away, I’m whipping up my own 30 before 30.

There you have it!

I realize that my list isn’t very deep and mainly has to do with traveling and hobbies, but that’s just what came to mind as I quickly whipped it up! As I wrote it, I tried to come up with more meaningful things that have to do with helping the world or family but nothing specific enough for the list came to mind.

Everyone says your 20s are for being selfish. This list definitely reflects that with a lot of international travel and questionable activities, but I’m confident plenty of opportunities to add value to other people’s lives will naturally pop up by following my heart and dreams.

Make Your Own Bucket List

If you have never made your own 30 before 30 or any kind of bucket list, I strongly encourage you to do so. It’s fun to dream big and meet your goals or live your adventures!

Love,

Tara
