A couple of years ago, my friend Sam told me about this list she made. She called it her “25 Things To Do at 25″. It essentially looked like a bucket list, but was filled with things she wanted to do/see/experience at the age of 25.
I was fortunate to have the opportunity to participate in one of the things on her list, which was to take a trip to a random city. We somehow ended up in Whitby on a holiday weekend, but had fun nonetheless :).
Sam’s list inspired me to make a list of my own for when I turned the big 3-0. So I have been working hard on the list since that time that we scratched off one of the items on her list.
It was difficult for me to come up with some things on the list. Listing 30 items is no small task. I avoided posting my entire list on any web presence I have (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, etc.) because I wanted to make sure that I had 30 things on my list. But just the other day, when talking with my friend Phil in New York, I was able to finish off the list.
Granted, I turned 30 a little over 2 months ago, so I’m a little behind.
In no particular order here is the list:
- Do the Bike Train Tour
- Get Tattoo
- Visit CN Tower – July 14, 2010 w/Sam & Chris
- Watch Lacrosse Game
- Learn to Ride Bike w/o Hands – April 2010 w/self

I will have to keep in mind that somethings might require a little extra time or money on my part, which may cause me to rethink certain items on my list. Needless to say, the list is subject to change at any time (How’s that for a fine print disclaimer? LOL).
Throughout this year, I’m going to be trying to scratch off all the things on my 30 @ 30 list. This is by no means an easy task, but a challenge that I am willing to take on. Thankfully I have the support and help of some awesome friends to help me work my way through the list.
