I will turn 30 next month.

This milestone is fast approaching and I am facing with a mix of excitement and trepidation.

It’s a crime to waste those years going around in circles and not living to your full potential.

What you do and achieve in your 20s will set you up for the remainder of your life. Your experiences in this decade will help shape your view of the world and find your place in it

That’s why you must do as much as you can now! The experiences you gain will shape your perspective of the world and allow you to approach later life with clarity.

This is an arbitrary list, but I feel it holds true for the majority of us.

If we achieve just a few of these things before 30, our lives will be all the better for it.

It was a huge struggle at first. My only previous experience of learning a language was studying German for five years at school. A class I didn’t take seriously back then.

Learning Spanish has given me a new outlook on life. It has allowed me to see the world from a different perspective. As a native English speaker, I am lucky my language is the predominant one in the world. However, it comes at a cost.

You can always find someone who speaks English no matter where you go. The motivation to learn…
