30 by 30.

6 months. There is a 6 month countdown until I turn 30. 30! August 26th is the big day.

Last week during a work event, a coworker suggested I do 30 things before I turn 30. I laughed it off. Then today in the shower it came back to me but this time I decided it was an awesome idea.

And so this list was born!

I just started a new job a month ago, so anything that is time consuming or requires traveling more than a few hours away is out. But, Cleveland is a great city and I still came up with plenty of options!

Here it goes, here’s what you’ll be reading about for the next 6 months:
