What women should do before they turn 30
Turning 30 is a big milestone in a woman’s life. Just yesterday, I realised that I have a little over 6 months before I can embrace the big 30 and that I am yet to strike so many things off my 30-before-30 list. Never mind it will just be changed to 40 before 40. And yeah, while I was contemplating what advice I would give my younger self, I asked my friends and a lot of other women I know what they wanted to do before they turned 30 or what they wish they did before turning 30.
- Go backpacking
- Travel alone: When you travel alone, not only do you meet so many interesting people but it will force you to open up and explore
- Experience a heartbreak : Heartbreaks can teach you to handle emotional pains and makes a women emotionally strong
- Live alone for at least a year
- Become financially independent: not just having enough savings for a rainy day but also start making investment plans
- Take risks : quit that job, start that dream company, fall in love, make their passion their career or anything that they’ve always wanted to do
- Develop a skill or pursue a hobby (shopping doesn't count!)
- Become independent
- Get married
- Watch a movie alone
- Accept herself; her quirks, her strengths and her weaknesses and create a beautiful story called ‘herself’
- Go on a trip with girlfriends
- Dance like nothing bothers them

- Hike
- Start saving for kids/retirement etc
- Figure out her priorities, passions etc
- Start something; a business maybe
