I’ve done a lot of things in my life for my age. I’ve traveled the world, started my own companies, and can play the jazz flute. When I turned 29 this year, I realized I was in the last year of my twenties and there were still a number of things I haven’t done yet. So I began making a list, and here is my 30×30 – 30 things to do by the time I’m 30.
1. Go to pro football game
Because L.A. has everything… but football
2. Go to a pro hockey game
Had the itch ever since Mighty Ducks
3. Go to a pro soccer game
After this year’s World Cup, who doesn’t?
4. Go white water rafting
Crazy, but not too crazy
5. Go scuba diving
You like scuba?
6. Ride a horse
Just. Like. This.
7. Go flying with Matt
My friend flies airplanes for fun
8. Run a marathon
Not a whole marathon. Maybe like a 5K where I don’t have to train and slightly break a sweat
9. Learn Krav Maga
Jason Bourne knows it, so should I
10. Learn Salsa
Because of Dirty Dancing Havana Nights
11. Learn the Tango
I feel like it’s in every spy movie
12. Learn Ballroom dancing
It just seems so elegant
12. Climb Half Dome
Apparently everyone does it
13. Camp in Joshua Tree
I guess it’s also the thing to do
14. Visit Yellowstone
I did a research project on this in fifth grade
15. Snowboard in Mammoth
I’ve only heard the legends of its fluffiness
16. Go on a cruise
Not a huge desire, but already have one planned, so might as well fill out the list
17. Visit Washington D.C.
I went when I was really young and don’t remember it
18. Visit New York
Also went when I was really young. All I remember is a bird pooped on me at the Statue of Liberty
19. Visit Chicago
Because Batman
20. Visit New Orleans
The only place in the South I’d consider going
21. Visit Seattle
But not for too long. I don’t want to get depressed
22. Visit Canada
Again, went when I was young, but don’t remember it
23. Take a road trip at least halfway across the US
I’ve crossed a few states, but I’d like to do a legit one
24. Ride in a fancy train
The one wear you eat dinner or sleep in a bed
25. Go paintballing
Surprisingly, I’ve never gone
26. See Phantom of the Opera live
This would be amazing
27. Eat venison
I hear its delicious
28. Learn to Ski
Probably won’t be as fun as snowboarding, but I’m running out of ideas
29. Watch The Notebook
Now I’m really scraping the bottom of the barrel, but hey, it’s Ryan Gosling
30. You Decide!
