Things to do before your 30

[catlavender]

I'm rapidly approaching 29 and just for fun wondered if anyone had any thoughts on things you should have done by the time you're 30 - then I've got a year to get any good ones in. Thanks.

I too am approaching 29. Hang gliding is the thing I keep thinking I should do before the big 3-0. I don't know if that's of any help.

Good one, St.Johnny. Similar to mine, which was sky-diving.

The point was to slap gravity, since it's going to have years to exact its revenge. My husband and I did a hot-air balloon ride to get us used to some heights, then a month later did the tandem diving. Pure exhilaration!

Laurence did you know that the age limit for club 18-30 is actually 35 :-)

Thanks for all the suggestions.
Laurence2 I've not been married once so I don't think I've got much chance of getting married 3 times but maybe I can try for once by next year. I can cross the road by myself so I'm doing alright there!
I'm scared of heights and not very sporty so the dare devil sports aren't much good for me but I quite fancy the hot air balloon ride so I'll bear that in mind and I should probably think about conquering my fears. Saintjohnny you should definitely think about the hang gliding if it's what you want to do.
I'm stuck in a rut at the moment so I've set myself the challenge of completely turning my life around by the time I'm 30. Never mind the 18-30 hol I'm off to St Tropez soon so maybe I'll meet a nice millionaire, that'd be a start.

Catlavender - give yourself a break. Turn your whole life around by 30? If you succeed, write a book and let us know!

Pick one fear and slap it upside the head. I'm incredibly afraid of heights; that's why we went for daredevil stuff. I heartily recommend the hot air balloon ride. Just be prepared for a rough landing - it's never as smooth as it looks. But it certainly was beautiful.

How about a sailing school adventure? St. Tropez would be a great place for that. There's nothing like the feeling that you've survived something totally outside your comfort zone.

Willa I'll consider that while I'm there, I quite like boats and the sea so it's a good idea. When I say turn my life around I'm probably exaggerating but I've always seen 30 as an age where I thought I'd be married, have kids, good job etc and it's looking like I won't which isn't worrying me anymore but I would like to start looking at changing things a little to get me out of this rut which is, I think, down to my pre-conceived ideas about what my life should be like at 30.
