23) See one of the seven wonders of the world
Google 'the seven wonders of the world'. Result: there are way more than SEVEN wonders! depending on who you ask, when you ask them and what kind of wonder you wonder about. Although the lists were not completely unexpected, there were just so many to choose from. The lists included, but were not limited to Natural Wonders, Modern Wonders, Medieval Wonders, Ancient Wonders, Industrial Wonders, Underwater Wonders and the list of lists goes on and on. I made the choice to choose them all. Any place worthy of being on one of these lists is cool enough for me. So the search begins. Where shall I go? hmmmmmmmmm......

THE LIST
Alright, first blog. Since I have so much time on my hands lately to due to a flip-stick move to Europe with my husband, I've decided to put together a list of 'things' big and small that I think need to be conquered before I turn the ripe age of 30 years - which is just less than 2 years away. With so many changes going on in my life lately, having goals to smash around feels nice. I had to go with the obvious and cliche '30 before your 30' list, so here it is:
1) Have just one place I call home
2) Catch a fish
3) Drive a manual car without crying
4) Have an A2 level of the Dutch language
5) Make something homemade for each of my nieces and nephew?
6) Swim with bioluminescent plankton
7) Achieve a BMI below 22 and maintain it
8) Take a cooking class in France, Belgium or Italy
9) Go to the Opera at least two more times
10)Read 20 more books
11)Reinstate Sunday-Spa-Day
12)Milk a cow
13) Eat 1,000 different plants/fruits/veggies
14)Visit a virgin forest
15)Stay up all night with Danny and watch the sun rise
16)Go to a live auction
17)Attend some sort of ‘Fest’ – like Oktoberfest or the Spanish tomato fight fest or Salmonfest or Lobsterfest or Garlicfest?
18)Hike in at least 3 more foreign countries
19)Have a picnic at midnight
20)Can peaches and dill pickles with my Mom
21)Go on a multi-day biking trip
22)Eat at a Michelin-starred restaurant
23) See one of the seven wonders of the world
24)Be a mama
25)Buy a piece of Art
26)Drink whiskey at a pub in Ireland or Scotland, and then when I’m drunk only speak with their accent – which I’m sure will sound more like pirate ;)
27)Make and eat 15 new cookie recipes – priority over #7
28)Visit an ancient-something – the Coliseum, Parthenon, Stonehenge etc. etc.
29)Collect honey from a beehive
30)Buy a porch-swing and drink lemonade on it
It's most fun to do some of this stuff with you :) Let's make a plan! What would you add to your list?
