30 Goals before 30th Birthday

Turning 30 is a big milestone for many people and somehow I am getting close to that age. The past few years I have really come to realize that one never knows when they will leave this world so I have decided that I want to make the best of the rest of my 20's. I have been very lucky with what I have been able to do since moving out of my teenage years but there is more I would like to accomplish. 

Thus, I have created my own 30 goals before my 30th birthday list. I have a little over two years to do these but I will not be disappointed if I do not complete them all. Some goals on this list are also on my life bucket list so it will be nice to check more things off that list at the same time.

Feel free to use this list as inspiration for your own list. An age list isn't just for people who are younger than 30, you can make a 50 things to do before 50, 12 things to do in your 65th year, etc. Follow along on my blog as I complete these goals or follow me on Instagram (@adventuresofansgirl) for updates. 

(I started this list in January 2021 and was hoping to have a couple more crossed off before I shared but COVID changed my plans)

Without further ado: 

1. Take a photography class

2. Do something that scares you

3. Learn to say hello and thank you in 4 different languages

22. Finish watching a hockey game in each of the Original 6 cities

23. Get into ice skating again

24. Book a family photo session

25. Start a retirement fund

One note about #22 - the Original Six cities are Montreal, Toronto, Boston, Chicago, Detroit and New York. I have been to Toronto three times already for a hockey game and have already seen one in New York so I am saying finish. If I can get to see the Rangers again before I'm 30, I will.
