We thought it was high time to create the ultimate bucket list of things to do before turning 30. While life certainly doesn’t end at the turning of a decade - in fact it probably gets better - there are some experiences that are just synonymous with our 20s.
And since you, dear readers, are full of collective wisdom we asked you for your must see, try and do lists. You gave us a whole host of inspiring ideas on Twitter, so we’ve whittled it down to 30 of our favourites. Whatever your age, add these to your bucket list now…
