30 AWEsome Adventures To Celebrate Your Birthday

How to celebrate your birthday with a bang in your dirty thirties… even during a pandemic

Happy Birthday! 🎉

Honey, you are getting finer like wine. Maybe it’s your 18th birthday when you become a legal adult in the US. Yeah you can vote and smoke! Or you’re 21 and you can finally drink in the US, legally. Maybe you’ve made it to your dirty thirties when you finally realize that you are an actual grown a$$ adult. I mean grown.

I’m loving the thirties. It’s a wonderful age. You’re probably starting to figure out things you like, things you absolutely don’t like and you have the comfort in knowing that whatever happens, time heals and life goes on. Sooo much better than the topsy turvy world of the 20s!

So I decided to add some spice to my 30s and make a list of 30 AWEsome adventures to celebrate my birthday. Choose a few for your birthday or use it as a bucket list! Maybe you can join in on these crazy adventures and celebrate however young or old you are. Life is wayyyy too short to be boring 🙂

You might have done some of these adventures before, but it has probably been years ago and it’s time to try it again. Others will be fun, exciting, or even terrifying like skydiving.
