30 things I want to do/accomplish before I'm 30...

While I have been in Chicago I have been doing a lot of walking around the city. I think that the best way to really get a feel for a city is to explore it by walking the streets. Sometimes it can't be avoided and Sonny and I must take the subway or a cab, but for the most part my transportation of choice is to go by foot. This week Sonny has been working during the day, and so I am left to explore the city on my own. While exploring the city I rock out to my I-pod and get lost in my thoughts. As I was walking down Michigan Avenue (The Magnificent Mile) to meet Sonny for lunch yesterday I began to think about what it is that I would like to accomplish in the next few years, or more specifically, before I turn 30. I decided to compile a list of 30 things that I would like to do/accomplish before I turn 30. As I began to compose my ideas of what I would like to accomplish before 30 I quickly noticed a recurring theme. Most of the things that I want to accomplish on my list over the next few years involve travel. This has confirmed that I have made the right decision to pursue my dreams to travel. Without further ado, here is my list:

1. Visit Greece












2. Learn how to sail








3. Learn another language












4. Go scuba diving








5. Visit the Taj Mahal









6. Visit the pyramids in Egypt









7. Pay off my debt












8. Visit Thailand









9. Visit Hong Kong









10. Replenish retirement account












11. Visit all 50 U.S. states









12. Visit Brazil








13. Visit Australia









14. Visit France












15. Visit Russia












16. Visit Switzerland









17. Go on an African Safari








18. Swim with the great white sharks








19. Visit Dubai












20. Visit Japan









21. Take some photography classes









22. Take some cooking classes in Italy









23. Visit Scotland








24. Visit Ireland









25. Visit England









26. Visit the Bahamas









27. Visit Canada









28. Visit Costa Rica








29. Live in another country












30. Live in a large metropolitan city









It will be exciting to see if I am able to accomplish all of these things before I reach 30. Let the countdown to the completion of my accomplishments begin!
