The ‘30 before 30′ list
Hi! Welcome to the first post of our ‘30 before 30’ blog. What is this you ask? We - AJ and Shal - are going to turn the big Three-Oh next year. We want to spend the last year of our 20s, doing all kinds of things. Things we love doing, things that improve the quality of our lives, things that help us grow and things that are fun! So we’ve created a list of 30 things we want to do, before we turn 30. Hopefully, at the end of this year, we’ll get through all the things in this list and find ourselves to be older, wiser, fitter and more inspired as we head into our thirties.

In the following months, we’ll publish more posts as we accomplish things from the list. Some things on the list are meant to be ongoing throughout the year and we’ll post periodic updates about how those are coming along. We’ll also do a post about why we picked the things we picked :)
Follow us if you’re interested in what we are doing and curious to see what we accomplish!
