30 things before I’m 30

I saw this blog post from Meghan Smith and was inspired to create my own bucket list. Since my next birthday is a biggie, and I’ll be spending it far away from my family and current circle of friends, I thought this list would be fitting. I’ll probably edit this list throughout the year, since I can never “really” make up my mind.

I’m committed to making 2011 my BEST year, and here’s how:

  1. Learn (and dominate!) Italian :)
  2. Take a cooking class in Italy (Evidence)
  3. Take more pictures
  4. SCUBA
  5. Try AirBnB (Did it on this trip)

  7. Design an Italian website (www.jiastudio.it)
