30 before 30 Challenge

*deep breath* I will be 26 on 18th February. I will be closer to 30 than 20. I will be considered in my 'late twenties'. I will have to tick the 26-30 box on those forms. Nope. Not freaking out. At all.

At the tail end of 2015, I was having coffee with one of my closest friend and we talked about me doing a '30 before 30 challenge'. A personal list of things I want to achieve before I turn the ripe old age of 30. I can look back on my twenties and say 'wow, wasn't that fun?' Then look over to my thirties and say 'I'm ready for you!'

I will be documenting my progress here on the blog so why not click on the follow button over there so you don't miss out?
