Inspired by Dan Saffer, I decided it’s time to make my 30 before 30 list. Thirty things to do before I turn thirty. It’s not a list of impossible things, like going to the moon. There’s definitely enough time (well, 2 years isn’t too bad) – but some of the tasks may not be as menial. Especially veal stock. Anywhoo, here’s the 30 – time to start crossing.
- Experience the Spain countryside
- Travel across at least 3 countries in Asia (preferably with my mom/dad)
- See the Niagara Falls, from both sides
- Drive up the Pacific Coast Highway from San Diego to Seattle
- Spend a weekend in the Oregon wine country
Eat at The French Laundry- Learn to speak Spanish to an okay proficiency level
- Donate blood
- Find a place to volunteer on a regular basis
Discover an amazing new band in the citySpend a day at a gorgeous beach – nothing but eating, playing, drinking, and enjoying the sunsetCollect a really meaningful art piece- Go fishing in the pacific northwest
- Learn to swim better
- Take a dance lesson
Complete a 10 mile day-hike where the view from the top is breathtakingGrow an urban garden- Party all night in New York till I see the sun rise
Go see a ballet or operaDo a 50+ mile biking trip- Brew a Flemish sour ale, only to make me appreciate the Duchesse de Burgogne even more
- Prepare an amazing 5+ course meal for two
- Teach someone to cook independently
- Design & launch a meaningful product or service that others will use
Make a new friend- Build a tangible piece of art
Make veal stock from start- Learn & practice yoga
Open up my life and heart to someoneHelp a complete stranger for the good
So there we go. Not vastly unlike lists you’ve never seen. It’s all about starting to check it off. Pictures shall serve as proof.
