30 Things Before 30

30 things to do before 30. I had a look at my old list, created in a time so vastly different that I can barely remember the thoughts of the person I was. And looking at it I've found a few things that for sure are going to change, because they are not relevant to me. Like one was to buy a car or an apartment. I don't see my life going in that direction right now, which is perfectly fine, and I also don't see it as some achievement. So I've tossed a few things around (but no-one but me would actually know since the original post is no longer available here ^^) So here we go. Updated list, lets do this.

1. Complete a triathlon race
Having my eyes set on a race later this summer here in Gothenburg. Will be so cool

2. Buy something fancy and let it coast a bit

It became a beautiful watch, which now needs a new bracelet because I didn't take care of the leather. Whoppsies. 

3. Roadtrip with friends

Thinking of going through Norway, because it is such a pretty landscape ande there's a few places I would like to see.

4. Diver's license

Saving for this one and hoping to do it this summer. With the pay rise I got it might be possible.

5. Kissing in the pouring rain
Vienna with my little nacho. It was wonderful and a lot of fun walking carelessly in the summer pour when everyone else was running for cover. Made me giggle

6. Finish a crocheted blanket

See what I did there... It's a modified goal. It was a specific blanket, that I hated and have now tossed out as it was getting full with moths. But I would like to complete a blanket one day. Perhaps a day before I turn 30.

7. Open a bottle of sparkling wine
Did that one on New Years Eve a few years back. Still a bit scary to open those bottles, but I've done it a few times now.
8. Work at a rice field

9. Make music video/short movie
And I have the idea all written down, gonna be a bit strange, but that's me. Waiting for my boyfriend to buy that new video-camera he's been raging about and perhaps he can be my cameraman.

10. Become better in Japanese
Went back to evening classes and it's been really fun, not up to the level I used to be. But I'm back on the basics.

11. Manicure, pedicure, massage

Done, done and done.

12. Drive dog sledge
Preferably during night under a Northern Light.

13. Have an exhibition/ art table

Yes, another modified one. Which just right now might have been booked as a friend asked me if I wanted to share table and a convent in the summer.

14. Sell an artwork
Hoping to get an Etsy up and running this year.

15. 5 songs on guitar
This will be a challenge for sure. It hurts so much and it sounds so bad before becoming good.

16. 5 songs on piano
Even though I don't own any kind of piano or keyboard (I own a guitarr, it is right by this desk) this is so much more realistic as I've actually try and learn a few songs whenever I'm up in Stockholm and have access to parents piano. These are the songs I've learnt/will learn

1. Yann Tiersen - Comptine d`un autre ete - l`apres-midi
2. Lisa Miskovsky - Lady Stardust

3. Ólafur Arnalds - This Place Is A Shelter

4. Tom Odell - Heal

5. not sure yet

17. Start permanent hair removal

I mean, who wants to shave all day long.

18. Cosplay

Went as Leia with her classic buns, white robe-dress and I even made her pistol.

19. Dive into water

This one will be tough. I tried to learn once, had someone teaching me and we took it in small steps. But I got panicked. Couldn't do the easy "just lean forwards until you fall" step. So my hopes are a little bit low one completing this one.

20. See Northern lights
I have seen them once before, but I want to do it again

21. See a sky filled with stars

Done this one before too, but I really want to redo it as it was one of the most extraordinary experiences in my life.

22. Quilted blanket

What is it with me and big textile projects? I saw someone doing a death star quilted blanket, I so want to do that too.

23. Go on a 4 week trip

Australia for almost 5 weeks

24. Walk on tight rope

Where do you go to learn this?

25. Travel outside Europe

Morocco and Australia

26. Knit a piece of clothing (other than hat or scarf)

This used to be about a specific sweater, but I think I just need to scratch that and restart.

27. Make a pretty decorated cake

Made an awesome death star cake for my boyfriend's birthday just a few days ago.

28. Surf

Done twice in Morocco. I want more though. I want to one day be able to surf through a wave tunnel. But that takes years of practice, so that's not going up on this list

29. Visit Iceland and do a riding tour -new
Upon googleing on this I also found that you can go snorkling in lakes by the volcanoes and it looked so cool. So going to do that to.

30. Learn how to break on a longboard - new

Last year I started longboarding a little. It was great fun, but I can't go too fast because I don't know how to break. Well, I do now how, but my brain can't get my body to do right. Maybe I need to train up my balance.

So that's it.

9 things done, 21 to go. But hopefully I'll be able to complete 11 by the end of this year. Wish me luck.
