My Realistic 30 Before 30 | Updated! ♥

With just over two years to go before I read the big 3 0, I decided it was high time I put together my '30 Before 30' list - mainly due to the insane amount of time it takes me to get things done!

I will have two years and two months to tick everything I possibly can off of my list and it'll be great to have it here on the blog, where I can come back to it time and after time, tick things off and link up any posts I have written about my experiences.

I've made my 30 before 30 a realistic one, not adding any 'huge' things such as 'visit the 7 continents' because it's just not going to happen in that space of time. Hopefully though, the things I have included will be manageable to accomplish in the time I have left before March 9th 2020.

So here goes...

1. Holiday outside of Europe
2. Save the deposit for our mortgage
3. Visit Co. Kerry again - done, we went to my cousin's wedding on July 27th in Killarney and also had a family day out to Killarney National Park.
