Thirty things to do before you're 30 (No. 1 and 6)

Scanning the web last week, I came across an MSN article titled,  "Thirty things to do before you're 30". Obviously the curiosity became the best of me, and now that I've officially been 31 for a little over a month, I wanted to see just what this was about... and really to see how many of these things I have done!

The article highlights the lack of ties in your twenties- and lays out a list of things to do before you're thirty (i.e. old). The article's author, Cathy Winston an MSN Travel contributor catches the readers' attention boldly:

" Looking for travel inspiration? These high octane breaks make the most of youthful beauty and energy – while they last ... before you're 30, you tend to have the energy and disposable income - no kids - to see as much of the world as you can."http://travel.uk.msn.com/inspiration/sun-and-sea/photos.aspx?cp-documentid=151939979

WHAT?!? I might as well have killed myself by now. I thought we had gotten over that whole thirty equals old bit. I don't have children, or ties ( I didn't realize there was  still a stigma to do this before thirty) and have been living my life just as free and energetically as the twenty year olds. Okay, griping aside- the article showcases some amazing travel destinations. I've done  a few and plan to add a few more to my life list. I won't go through the slew of them, but I will make some snide comments in some blog posts.

No.1- Amsterdam Dance Event:  I've hit some pretty good parties in my life and I don't think the glow sticks are ready to be put away just yet.  I've seen some of the best dj's around and danced to the hardest house and trance. I don't care if you're 20-30 or even 50, you can always dance the night away. But I just may have to check this out in the next decade.

 

No.6 - The World Body Painting Festival :Austria  Okay- who knows if I'll ever make it to Austria- but I can say that I've seen an International  Body Painting Festival right here in Daegu, Korea before I was thirty! 

I wonder if you've seen one body painting festival... have you seen them all? I think that goes without saying... but maybe I'll see Austria for some of its other fabulous features.
