30 Before 30

A couple weeks ago it dawned on me that I'm now closer to 30 than 20. I decided that it was a little crazy that I did not have a 30 before 30 list! I’m 25 years going on 26 in less than a week,  so it seems about time to prep for my 30's. Either way, here goes:




My 30 before 30 list:


1. Travel to Europe. Drink wine, visit the vineyards, eat homemade pasta and get lost in the charm.
2. Ride in a helicopter.
3. Finish the Modern Library's Top 100 Novels   of All Time list. 
4. Get married to my best friend.
5.  Celebrate Christmas and New Year’s in NYC.
6. Hold my own baby.
7. Print the bazillion photos I have stored on my computer and put them in albums.
8. Learn how to sew and make something pretty that i can wear.
9. Make my own Christmas cards.
10. Go bungee jumping and/or sky diving.
11. Come up with the best and most cutest idea for the boyfriend's birthday.
12. Master cooking a 5 course-gourmet meal so i could throw my own grown-up dinner parties. 
13. Rock out at a crazy, fun music festival with Mr.wonderful. 
14. Recreate the classic and infamous Time Square Kiss with Baba. 
15. Spend one night in wilderness in Africa, just to make Baba happy.  JUST one night. 
16. Finish uni.
17. Go to Seattle. I've always loved the movie Sleepless in Seattle (who hasn't?) and it's forever been a dream of mine to meet someone at the top. Someone I love. And well, I didn't quite meet Ashan at the top, but I think it'll do. Yes, it'll definitely do.
18. Buy our own house with a little garden and a driveway.
19. Have a job I love. 
20. Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge
21. Swim with the dolphins.  
22. Kiss in the rain. 
23. Open my own savings account. 
24. Get something published. (my paintings, article etc) 
25. Invest in something expensive of my own. 
26. Go to a major sporting event. (Grand Slam, World cup etc)
27. Have gastronomic adventures. 
28. Make the boyfriend teach me a bit of photography and Photoshop. 
29. Go see a show on broadway.
30. Visit Vegas and Disneyland for my 30th birthday and celebrate the last night of my 20's in style.
