30 Things at Thirty
Preface
I originally wrote this ahead of turning 30 this year, and it basically outlines a list of 30 things that I want to try to achieve in the year of being thirty.
Unfortunately, due to Coronavirus a lot of these things that were planned (or scheduled to be planned) had to be cancelled - which sucks. So 3 months later, I’m publishing the list for everyone to see, and to provide myself a little bit of a drive to accomplish each thing.
My 30 Things
In no particular order:
- Complete a 5k ✔️
- Complete a 10k
- Complete a 1/2 marathon
- Complete a marathon
- Go to an F1 race
- Visit Chernobyl
- Visit Dublin 👎
- Go to Henley Regatta
- See the Northern Lights
- Be able to do 30 pull-ups
- Eurotunnel/Train to France
- See a show in London West End
- Edinburgh Fringe
- Watch the sunrise
- Watch the sunset
- Give blood ✔️
- Geneva Motorshow
- Aushwitz
- Colour run
- Go to a Pride Event
- Meet someone famous
- Reconnect with old friend
- Go on a cruise
- Do a talk at an event
- Cirque du Soleil
- Wimbledon
- Michelin Star Meal ✔️
- Random Act of Kindness
- Own dream car
- Santorini sunset
In retrospect, looking at that list, a fair few are no longer possible as the opportunity simply doesn’t exist anymore (eg. Wimbledon, Pride Events, Geneva Motorshow, F1 Race).
Anyway, I’ll work through as much of the list as possible ahead of the end of my 30s, and see what other things I can add on as well.
Update 2023 - some things on the list weren’t possible due to the global pandemic, recovering economy, cancelled events, increased interest rates, or more generally - work.
