All the hype is on 30, which means you should squeeze as much adventure as possible into your 20s before not-so-gracefully bowing out of the years of which you're still expected to brush off your mother's advice. Here are 30 things every person with a bit of wanderlust must see and do before they're 30.
1. Jump off something.
Whether it be a tree by the river next to your childhood home or bungee jumping from the Victoria Falls Bridge in Zimbabwe. Take the leap.
2. See one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
This is a tough one, because at 30, well, you still have the bank account of a 29-year-old. The good news here is that it doesn't necessarily have to be one of the originals -- go for the Golden Gate Bridge (modern world), the Grand Canyon (natural wonder), or the Mayan ruins in the Yucatán Peninsula (USA Today new wonder), an affordable flight from most U.S. cities.
3. Party in Las Vegas.
No person should exit their 20s without doing something they regret in Sin City. The place was basically built for us.
4. Take a vacation that isn't Spring Break.
You had your opportunity to drink beer upside down and insist you don't need sunscreen while in college. Besides, you don't remember anything from those trips anyway.
5. Attend at least one large celebration.
Mardi Gras, Full Moon Party, Easter Mass -- I don't care, as long as you have to throw elbows to get to the bar, or the alter.
6. Hit up a nude beach.
If for no other reason, use the time to look around and remind yourself of how young you actually are.
7. Spend several days with only what will fit in a backpack.
If you can brush your teeth with river water and comb your hair with a tree branch, you can most certainly figure out how to stop turning all of your white clothes pink.
8. Swim in the ocean.
This is a must.
9. Sleep somewhere where you have to light a fire to stay warm.
Kudos if you can do so without matches.
10. Do some sort of adrenaline sport.
Raft a Class five rapid; mountain bike Whistler in the summer; surf a wave larger than your torso -- meaning: do something that scares you.
11. Hit up one of the Caribbean islands.
There are thousands to choose from. You'll most likely visit more than one in your lifetime, get a good jump on it in your 20s.
12. Take one ultimate road trip.
It can be with buddies, it can be camping, it can be on Route 66, Route 1, or the Blue Ridge Parkway. Double points if you have a reliable car to get there.
13. Go somewhere alone.
At 30 you should be confident and worldly enough to wake up in a foreign country and know how to get yourself home.
14. Take a train somewhere.
There are no hidden innuendos here. It's just nice to have the patience
