30 Before 30

On July 29 2012, I will turn 30 years old.

(Which is odd, really, as I both do and don't feel nearly 30. It's awesome when people say I look like I'm in my early 20s, but I'd hate to still be as uncertain and insecure as I was back then. To be honest, I think 30 SEEMS old, but when you're actually staring it in the face, you're really not as changed as you'd expect to be.)

I have compiled a list of things I want to achieve before I'm 30 (original post is here) and am going to update this page all year with  my progress. If you want to help me achieve any of these goals, I am open to it - drop me a line!
