Today I turned 26! I’m now officially closer to 30 than 20.
On my 19th birthday, a relative told me they were turning 30 soon and I laughed at how old they were. I couldn’t even imagine being 30, it seemed so old.
But I’ve come to realise that getting older isn’t a bad thing. It means you got to experience new things and life doesn’t stop just because you hit a certain age.
We should celebrate aging and embrace the new adventures.
Since I have 4 years before I turn 30, I thought it would be fun to create a little list of 30 things I hope to do before I turn 30.

- Visit London.
- Take a photo every day for a year.
