You're probably going to get alot of ideas like skydiving, bungee jump, travel across Asia etc.

Imo - you should do the things you've always wanted like visit a country you've always wanted to visit - for me it's South Africa.

Learn something you've always wanted to such as how to play an instrument.

At the end of the day you'll get ideas here but tbh you know yourself really, it's your personal taste that dictates the things you want to do

Before Im 30.


1- find me a life parter (might have that chawked off all ready)

3- take over the word
4- ?????????
5- Profit.

Challenge yourself, do something you don't think you'd like or find interesting with a plan to "expand your horizons". I tried pottery at the start of the year thinking, definetly not my thing (only did it cos I heard there was this really hot girl doing it), actually really enjoyed it and had a great sense of achievement at the end when I made a little jar.

Live a day as the diceman- you write down six options and roll a dice, thats what you do. Try it for a full day.

rent a motorbike!

Skydive. Exhilarating and helped me get over a fear of heights and took me co pletely out of my comfort zone. Everyone should do it.

Flying Abruptly

- go on a safari
- drive a very fast car on a race track
- run a marathon

I mastered that years ago the trick then is finding a significant other who is also comfortable with me :pac:

7 years to 30 though, no rush

My current Bucket list is pretty long, but im working on a few things before I turn 30 (3.5 years)

Get my private Heli licence (1/4 of the way there!)
Learn the drums (Work not yet in progress)
Have a full bike license and a Yamaha R6 or equivalent
Drive a Dodge Viper across American desert (one section of this in the nip!)

crosswalk88

become an open water diver
travel to any place you always wished to visit
learn languages
say to your beloved ones how much you love them

Brussels Sprout

Some of these are gradual things, others are once off events

1. Get fit enough to do a triathalon
2. Improve your diet.
3. Stop watching rubbish on TV (or better still stop watching TV)
4. Strike up conversations with strangers during the daytime if you think it won't scare them.
5. Pick a language and learn the basics-greetings, numbers, ordering, asking for directions. Then visit a country that speaks that language and try to use your new found knowledge and body language to communicate as best as you can.
6. Plant a tree or grow your own vegetables.
7. Make a regular donation to a charity of your choice.
8. Get to know your parents and siblings better.
9. Learn to listen instead of waiting to talk.
10. Go to a european music festival and take ecstasy.

sheesh

learn something about design and the process of thinking creatively

take part in a musical (It takes loads of time and effort but very interesting)

not looking forward to the big 30 and your not helping , you sound like its your last chance to do anything. There's 31 and 32 and 33 and 34 and ...... isn't there? Is there?

I say accept the fact that your going to be 30 and organise a big party for your 30th, if you still feel like I do - that life is over at 30 maybe have a big party everyday of your 29th year. Could be your last chance might as well make the most of it.

2. Renovate my house
3. Speak the language I'm currently learning pretty well
4. Be able to same some choons on my piano
5. Go on a long distance cycle across countries.

I think that before you're 30, you'll want to open your mind up to as many different ideas and things as possible. Because while old people can learn many new things just fine, it can be terribly hard for them to learn completely new things.

I think being able to use a computer is a good example. My dad who is in his late 70s for example has NEVER used a computer or played a videogame and thinks they're this kind of mystical thing he could never use. The same with a huge amount of people that age, or even a little younger. He also tells me that when driving came along first, many of the older people never learned to drive because it just scared them and they could never get the knack of it right. The same with education... people don't just decide in middle age they want to be a mathematician and go off and do that. It has to be learned when young.

The worst thing you could do would be to to go after one specific thing in your career that is not transferable to your future prospects or life.... and then come home and sit down and do the same type of things every day.

I don't agree with doing things for "achievements" status, the ability to say "I did that". Only things that are applicable to your life.

My 30th birthday is looming (later this year!). In my early 20s I had convinced myself that I was going to do great things before I was 30, like trek the Himalayas and all sorts of crazy things. Most of the things that I thought I wanted to achieve were irrelevant to my life, and not real achievements, to my mind at least.

Here is a list of things I have achieved before I turn 30, and most of them weren't exactly things I had originally set out to do:

1. Lived in another country (three in fact!).
2. Earned a degree and Masters.
3. Been accepted onto a PhD in an area I'm really excited about.
4. Travelled across several countries and continents.
5. Lost a s**tload of weight and kept it off.
6. Finally learned to drive (at 29 :eek:).
7. Realised I LOVE exercise and do as much of it as often as I can: running, gym, hiking etc.
8. Realised the importance of friends and family in my life.
9. Learned to stand up for myself. and not give a damn what other people think.
10. Started a teaching career, something I never thought I'd be able to do when I was younger.
11. Realised I'm fine as I am and that I don't need to change a thing about myself.
12. Realised that life can change in an instant, and you have to just go with it.
