As I creep towards my 27th birthday this summer, I have been thinking about what I want to achieve in the next four years. I recently came across the concept of 30 before 30 and I love it. So here are the 30 things I want to achieve before my 30th birthday. This is obviously a filtered list as there are a few things which can’t go on the internet, but I still hope they inspire you to set your own 30 before 30 goals!
- Meet David Attenborough, my hero.
- Skydive.
- Write a vegan cookbook.
- Live more minimally.
- Go on another epic road trip.
- Go on another solo travel trip.
- Have Stay Wild Swim be a roaring success and turning a profit.
- Employ a team – for myself and for Stay Wild Swim.
- Be an ambassador for an incredible environmental charity.
- Play a part in a game changing environmental policy e.g. surrounding plastic pollution.
- Climb a legit mountain.
- Start saving for retirement, organise my finances, invest, understand taxes and VAT. I am finally getting there on this one!
- Skinny dip everywhere I go (which has ocean access).
- Build back up my pull up strength.
- Be able to comfortably run 10km.
- Photograph 31 sunsets in a month.
- Hold a handstand for 10 seconds.
- Visit 50 countries total (at the time of writing I am on 46!).
- Visit the Galapagos Islands.
- Scuba dive with whale sharks and manta rays again.
- Go on a Sea Shepherd expedition.
- Get my hip tattoo removed.
- Get my nipples re-pierced (they kept me young!).
- Treat my parents to a holiday/adventure together.
- Move into our next home.
- Learn how to properly use my camera, edit photos and videos.
- Do more cooking courses e.g. bread making.
- Go on a retreat where I am not the trainer, fully relax and switch off.
- Be on another magazine cover.
- Have my family around to my house for Christmas.
I challenge you to jot down your own 30 before 30.
