Admit it. It’s already your 29th birthday but it just hit you. You’re becoming old. Soon enough you’re going to have a couple of cute but rather tiresome kids you’d have to take care of. This is great, you love kids! However, what about those wonderful vacations you planned and the places you want to visit? Before you get stuck in that predicament, why not do a more extensive travel planning; sit down and list out the places that you want to go and the things you want to do.
Draw out a timeline and make sure you make it happen before that big 3 knock you unconscious from the back. This is the best time to travel. This is the time you have energy, financial independence and minimal obligations. It’s also probably the last chance you’ll get to have all your friends to yourself, and have yourself to yourself. Take a look at this list of awesome vacation ideas you can accomplish before you reach the magical 30.
1. Southeast Asia

Take a bike tour over Southeast Asia! Many say that travelling alone is the best way to see the world. You taste the world without a partner’s prejudices, you meet new travellers, you can spend the day doing nothing but hopping from cafe to cafe. Travelling alone, you’re on a voyage of self-discovery. If you’ve never done this before, a solo biking trip to Southeast Asia is something you definitely must do before you turn 30. Biking through thick jungles, across the undulating coastline, to beautiful villages and pagodas and beach hopping its sunny islands, Southeast Asia is a wonderful place to discover yourself.

Enjoy your final bit of youth by joining the race of a lifetime – Colour Me Rad is a 5K “rad”iculous running event across USA and Canada that doesn’t award its participants with awards, but rather, with tie-dyed t-shirts and colourful memories! Inspired by the Indian Festival of Colours, organisers wanted their participants to have “a ridiculous amount of fun”. Perhaps one of the funnest ways to end of 29.
3. Northeast India

It’s time to spend a little time with your favourite girlies! Before all of you are strung down by kids, why not backpack across the exotic country of India? Here, you can experience the gorgeous green fields, deep caves, large rivers, cascading waterfalls and quaint villages of Northeast India. Not only is this budget friendly, backpacking with friends is the best way to learn the best and worst of each other! Definitely something to do before you hit 30.
