Bucket List: 30 Before 30 Tag

Tumblr

After last night's #lbloggers chat on Twitter, I felt inspired to start a new tag- At least I don't think an 'official' one exists yet. I have been compiling a vague bucket list in my head since I was a teenager and I think it's high time I put pen to paper as it were. You can amend the title to suit you- I realise not everybody is in their twenties. My list is made of places I want to visit and things I would like to do before the big 3-0. That leaves me 8 years so as long as I tick off 3.75 a year, Ill be on target. This isn't some sort of Stalin-esque 5 year plan, but more of a wishlist for milestones I'd like to reach plus I find having a goal can really focus my energies.


1. Live in France for a little while (tick)
2. Take a European Road Trip.
3. Own a Chanel bag.
4. Master the skills to make the perfect Macaron.
5. Play Monopoly without an argument (tick)
6. Visit Angkor Wat, Cambodia.
7. Donate blood.
8. Sleep in an overnight train.
9. Start a proper, 'grown-up' career.
10. Go shopping in New York.
11. Learn how to use chopsticks (tick)
12. Have a professional massage.
13. Put a lock on the Pont des Arts (update: locks are systematically removed, so decided not to)
14. Host a New Year's Eve party.
15. Finish my degree.
16. Qualify as a lawyer.
17. Take cliché tourist pictures in Paris and Rome.
18. Camp in the wilderness (tick)
19. Ride an elephant.
20. Pass my driving test.
21. Own a pair of Louboutins.
22. Learn to appreciate good wine.
23. Swim with bioluminescent plankton in Thailand.
24. Eat Pizza in Italy.
25. Attend La Tomatina festival near Valencia, Spain.
26. Travel to the top of the Eiffel Tower (tick)
27. Gamble in Las Vegas.
28. See the Northern Lights.
29. Fly on a private plane.
30. Visit Naples and see Pompeii.

Some of these are pretty common but definitely things that I would like to do. It's quite a lot to get done in 8 years but a girl can dream! I won't tag any particular people because I think it would be nice if everyone was included.
What are your 30 before 30?
