I was thinking about how many times I have moved and I came up with 8 times in 10 years... Hopefully we move less in the coming years but who knows...
So I found several list of things to do before your 30(ish). Since I have been alive for 360 months I have come up with 180 things that I have done that may or may not have made an impression on me. They range from silly to amazing but hey, they were on a list I read :) I know I have done more but these are the ones that have come up with so far.
