Bucket List (30 things before I'm 30)

This past month or so has been peppered with conversation about the future. What is our plan for this upcoming year? Where will we live after our summer trek through Europe? Leaving China is a sad, sad option but it is one we need to really pray about and consider.

However, because so much is up in the air I've decided to get my hands on something I can be intentional about - and that's going to be a bucket list of 30 things I want to do before I'm 30 (and only a couple of short years to do them in....)

Bucket list – 30 things to do before I’m 30

1. Travel to Vietnam (it's kind of cheating because I did this last year, but after seeing the Rambo series years ago I was interested in Vietnam and I figured starting with one checked off the list would make me feel accomplished)

2. Go on a multi-day bike trip

3. Do a homestay with personal tutoring in South America

4. Get into a nurse practitioner program

5. Take my husband on a surprise trip
