An Exhilarating Bucket List for Your 30th Birthday
As the existential dread of approaching my 30th birthday creeps in, I’m also gifted another opportunity to reflect. 3 decades of being alive means there’s a lot of memories and experiences to think back on. Maybe the arbitrary 30 has an over exaggerated importance, but it makes for a great excuse to accomplish goals before a deadline. Here are some of the ultimate travel experiences you MUST add to your bucket list. I hope this 30 under 30 list inspires you to try a fantastic new experience!
