30 Before 30

Here's something I've seen floating around the blogosphere lately - it's basically a Bucket List for your twenties full of things you want to do before you turn 30. I've been working on this list for awhile and I think I've got it narrowed down now, so I'm gonna post it here and occasionally re-post as I knock things off the list. I turn 30 in June 2016, so I've got some time to do this stuff. Hopefully my blog will still be around by then!
