30 Before 30
I decided to take a break from the 101 things in 1,001 days list, so this year I’m doing a 30 before thirty list, to be finished June of 2011.
30 Before 30 List
1. Buy a house
2. Visit Iceland
3. Run a half-marathon
4. Attend a cooking class
5. Carve out a stellar mini home office
6. Go raw for 1 week or do a cleanse – started juicing instead.
7. Start strength training
8. Learn to ride my bike outside with my cycling shoes [without falling over] (I bought a city bike instead!)
9. Go to 1 new restaurant (or coffee shop) per week 52 in total
10. Do yoga six days a week for one month
11. Learn the Pincha Mayurasana yoga pose
12. Get an iPhone
13. Go actual backpacking
14. Take a silver jewelry class
15. Road trip Hwy 101 southbound
16. Try a new class that isn’t ‘my style’: belly dancing or zumba>
17. Ask 12 people their favorite book and read it
18. Try kiteboarding (or SUP)
19. Volunteer again
20. Get a car, scooter or new bicycle
21. Visit a spa for a whole day or do a yoga/spa vacay
22. Eat [hyper] local for one week
23. Cook a 5-course meal, have a dinner party
24. Buy awesome matching lingerie
25. Start a grown-up alcohol collection/declare a signature drink
26. Buy a little black dress
27. Visit all 30 breweries in Portland (6 left!)
28. Ask a guy out
29. Visit a new US National Park
30. Go on a group bike ride (Pedalpalooza, but technically just after my birthday!)
After turning 30 in June, I had only completed about 50.5% of the items on my 30 Before 30 list. However, it was still super fun to look back at all the stuff I did manage to accomplish over the last year, like visiting Iceland, buying a house and stand up paddleboarding. On to the next list!

Hey remember that time I had a quarter-life crisis, quit my job, and traveled around the world for a year? Hey remember that other time the economy tanked and I spent almost a year looking for a new job? Hey remember that time I made banana and Nutella crepes for breakfast?I probably blogged about it yeah?

I just HAD to comment on this… I came across this list while researching travel with GAP and Intrepid Tours. The reason I was researching these tour companies is because I too have a 30 Things to Do Before I’m 30 list, and travel is on it! I created it about 5 and a half years ago, a bit before my 23 birthday (I am 28 now). My list is to be completed by June of 2012. I just thought it was such a great coincidence, and your list has re-affirmed my commitment to completing my own. :) Keep up the great work!

I’d like to know how long you spent putting this list together, and when you started doing the items. Think that the idea is pretty cool, life’s passing me by and… I can only look at the list of interesting things (except maybe #24!), so being 30 July, should I look instead to 65 things before 65?
