I'm now in the twilight of my 20s, and the years are flying by, without me necessarily feeling like I've achieved a huge amount - or at least that I haven't been making the most of the opportunites that I have now, before I have kids etc to make things more difficult. So, I decided to make a list of 30 things that I want to do before I hit the big 3 0, and therefore have until 29th August 2015 to (in no particular order):

1. Do a sky dive
2. Get to the top of the Empire State Building
3. Have dinner at the Fat Duck
4. Go skiing in the Alps
5. Go scuba diving
6. Cycle from London to Paris
7. Ride a gondola in Venice
8. Get a golf handicap in single figures
9. Play a round of golf at St Andrews
10. Fly in a helicopter
11. Go to Notting Hill Carnival
12. Go to the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona
13. Ride on Kingda Ka (world's tallest roller coaster)
14. See Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas
15. Drive Route 66
