24 Things To Do Before 30


So I found this video by accident but really liked it. Very realistic goals and challenges.

First here is the list, comment free


spontaneously cut off all your hair
take up some kind of spiritual practice
become friends with your parents again
say hi to a large tortoise
go hard for 24 hours straight in Vegas
go all in on a first date
catch a huge fish (so you can brag about it forever)
go on a long road trip with people you love
learn how to cook at least one fancy dish
find something you are really good at
move to a new city
pee in every ocean
give one great speech at a friends wedding
start a collection
light some fireworks in your hometown baseball (or in my case GAA) field
go sailing
make friends with people at the bar for one night
learn a foreign language
take a spontaneous trip
stop dressing like you're still in high school (secondary school to de-americanize this video)
Yell at a sports game
get a tattoo about something random
let go of your expectations
stop doing things for the pictures and start doing it for the memories






And here is it again with how I'm doing


spontaneously cut off all your hair - this one has been very recently discussed and may happen sooner than you'd think


take up some kind of spiritual practice - Will be traveling around a lot of south east Asia. sure to visit a few places which teach about this topic. 

become friends with your parents again - Never not been friends with my parents. DONE

say hi to a large tortoise - Just need to find a tortoise

go hard for 24 hours straight in Vegas - After this big trip I'll get saving

go all in on a first date - Most memorable and amazing first date ever back in April with Katherine.  DONE

catch a huge fish (so you can brag about it forever) - Have to learn to fish first

go on a long road trip with people you love - Road trip around Oz is soon. But hey Rinaldo if you read this we better still be doing route 66 some day

learn how to cook at least one fancy dish - Can cook a little. But want to learn more. Half done.

find something you are really good at - not bad at guitar. But it's nothing unique. I'll get back to you on this one. 

move to a new city - Hello Brisbane. DONE

pee in every ocean - Atlantic. DONE
Pacific. soon
Indian. with luck before I get home
Arctic. some day
Antarctic. some day also

give one great speech at a friends wedding - Someone go get married

start a collection - DVD's. LP's. Rocks from interesting or memorable places. DONE

light some fireworks in your hometown baseball (or in my case GAA) field - I'll wait until I get home.

go sailing - something else new to learn.

make friends with people at the bar for one night - I'm Irish. This happens 3 times a week. DONE

learn a foreign language - FINI

take a spontaneous trip - I'm sure this will happen in the next two years during my travels

stop dressing like you're still in high school (secondary school to de-americanize this video) - Starting to smarten up at times now. When appropriate of course.

Yell at a sports game - Not into sports. but for the sake of experience I will some day

get a tattoo about something random - hmmm must think about this one

let go of your expectations - I try not expect things and just wait and see what happens. Has worked out great so far. DONE

stop doing things for the pictures and start doing it for the memories - Why do you think I'm 10000km away from home DONE
