Veronica's Before 30 List

The initial reason I started this blog is for me to keep track of my progress on my Things to Do Before 30 List.

On my 29th birthday I sent out an SMS to my closest friends asking them what, in their opinion, are the 5 things I should do before I turn 30. I got a variety of responses, some shocking but others worthwhile projects to savor life before the big 3-0. I've come up with my list based on the answers that I received and am posting it now onto this great void in the hopes that someone out there can help me figure out what else is left to be done. Feel free to comment and add your 2 cents worth to my list.

In no particular order:
  • learn basic French (I've always wanted to do this)
  • buy a digital camera
  • learn photography
  • buy a laptop
  • set up my own business
  • travel to Cebu
  • write my Mission statement
