Coming to you from the future as an ancient 36 year old to be a bit morbid and remind you to enjoy having your parents around as much as possible during this time, too. It’s so easy to get caught up in all the things you want to accomplish in your independent adult life that it is easy to forget that they want to be a part of your life still, and you will miss them desperately when they are gone. ❤️
Yes!!! I saw a quote that was something along the lines of "we are so busy growing up, that we forget that our parents are growing old." It really put things into perspective for me and also made me quite sad. But now when I think of everything I want to achieve, I'll always remember that my family is also a priority. ❤️
There was a second before you finished the sentence ‘keep a plant alive’ where I thought you were going to say ‘keep a placenta’ and I was deeply confused
So I was inspired to write my own- 30 things to do before your 30 (This is super hard actually) 1) Take a trip abroad with your friends- At least with Logan and Connor 2) Take a trip alone- bonus points if abroad 3) Finish writing your book- be a published author- bonus points for a movie deal 4) Submit 5 of your photos to magazines 5) Have a long term relationship where you feel comfortable living with them. 6) Travel to Africa, South America, and Europe 7) Go skydiving 8) Ride in a hot air balloon 9) Attend Austin Pride (preferably with L&C) 10) Own a Newfie dog 11) Read 30 books- rediscover your love of reading, you recently have stopped 12) Live out of the country for at least a month 13) Teach English abroad 14) Celebrate a holiday with friends 15) Go on vacation for a week without the internet (excluding the occasional gps if lost, let’s be honest Chris its you) 16) Become more self-confident in your body-take risks with cloths, hair etc. 17) Start a RUclips channel 18) Host a dinner party (at least 3 courses) bonus points if it is a surprise murder mystery 19) Have a garden 20) Volunteer with a charity or organization 21) Visit Diagon alley 22) Try 5 foods you normally wouldn’t 23) Buy the food of the car behind me in a drive through line 24) Put yourself out there- yes this is subjective but you know what you mean. Screw the anxiety, depression and self-esteem issues, get up and dance 25) Come out to your family- let the pieces fall where they may. If what you think will happen happens, you have L&C and let’s be honest those two couldn’t get rid of you if they tried. 26) Take some cooking classes- You can follow recipes no problem, but you don’t “cook” 27) Sing anyway 28) Become a member of someplace you love 29) Have a decent sized savings account 30) Be unapologetically you
I did the Inca trail a month ago! It’s bloody hard! There’s no other words for it but super rewarding!! And the sense of comradery wth other hikers is just incredible! Would recommend ❤️ Quarry trail is shorter but you don’t end up at Machu Picchu you’re just walking for the sake of walking, and salkantay trek is longer but not as hard as the Inca 🙃
I did the Inca trail last year. There are so many stairs but it is beautiful and so rewarding! Peru is amazing and you can never go wrong with coca tea 🙂 I recommend the trip to everyone!
Visiting Auschwitz is difficult, but its one of the most life altering things someone can do. I'll never forget that day as long as I live, and everyone needs to see it in their lifetime.
I went there, and think going to see what Pol Pot did in Cambodia is more life altering than Auschwitz. This is just because what they actually show you is more gruesome, and does not hide behind something. For example, going to auchwitz you mostly just look at the buildings and where they lived / were killed, but in the Killing Fields you actually *STEP ON HUMAN BONES!* As a 14 year old (went in 2013), that kind of thing blew my mind more than going to Auchwitz.
Newcastle is excellent. My recommendation would be to always look up at the tops of buildings, all of the boring shop fronts mask the most incredible historic buildings above!
'Hers is like twice as much as mine.' 3 times. 3 times as much. As my older brother's. 9 times as much as my sister's. Not salty at all. Love the video Hannah! x
It would be interesting to see a video from you on personal finances (nothing too specific). Mostly because you are going to buy a flat (super congrats!) but haven’t paid off your student debt or have a pension, which is a interesting situation to be in - particularly in London.
When you do the Inka Trail do it after the half marathon. Im peruvian and grew up spending my holidays in the highlands and even with all that time I could not do a 4 hour trek to Laguna 69 (Huaraz). Gotta be physically prepared for 3000+ meters above sea level.
Great idea & cool to watch this 2 years later knowing a few things you've done so far! (Mustard the Gecko!!, Hitting half a million subs, disney world week too? Etc)
You are always so inspiring and I always leave your videos feeling more motivated about trying to do things that I'm creatively 'attracted' to amongst doing the things that my academia requires of me.
from a environmental point of view, i would recommend going to the Artic rather than Antarctica as the journey to Antarctica is so damaging to the environment, and also the Antarctic is mainly just a barren desert- not much to see there :/ Visiting the Artic sounds cool though! :D good luck with your 30 things!
I went to Auschwitz last year with my history class and it was so overwhelming but also such an incredible trip. I myself am not Jewish but have had a long line of Jewish relatives so it meant so much going there. The place itself is haunting and most absolutely ripped my heart out, however, it was such an interesting place and you get such a different experience from actually going there than just hearing about it.
Only stumbled across your channel about 1-2 weeks ago but am really, really enjoying your videos. How are you only on 400k subs!? You deserve at least 1m 👍 keep it up Hannah
When I started this video I kept thinking “I feel as if I’ve already watched this?” Then I realized Lucy Moon made one and I watched it last week, I’m excited to see your list though!
I'm 18 and I have a 20 before 20 list! There's only about one and a half years left so I know it's quite ambitious, but I like setting goals for myself so I have something to look forward to.
Hannah I am doing a gender masters at LSE and could not be happier. I was skeptical of LSE at first, but the gender department is stellar. The teaching quality is incredibly high and the course is so stimulating and critical and I just love it. Would seriously recommend! Xx
Hannah, 50+ books in one year is easily achieved if you read at least one comic book before you go to bed every night. I started around October and have missed it only 2 or 3 nights. To say it's been an education is an understatement! I've learned all sorts of things about the hero and heroines of the world! Plus there's many more subjects other than superhero genre that you can get into. And as a bonus: it's inspired my fictional writing to pretty good degree.
I love that you put all the details in the description as your camera and your microphone. Your fans that are starting youtubers as me, appreciate it haha

As a bartender at a restaurant/frequent bruncher in NYC and Brooklyn (where I live) yes, we do have time limits on our bottomless brunch! It’s usually 1.5 or 2 hours, which is honestly more than enough time to get a healthy dose of mimosas or bloody Mary’s in your system while still drinking responsibly! ☺️🥂
Going for bottomless breakfast at one of the Las Vegas hotels is a must! There's no time limit and there are literally hundreds and hundreds of different breakfast items to choose from!
Go for it on the Disney vacation! I've been twice as an adult (22 and this year at 29). My partner had never been, doesn't like roller coasters and had never flown and we had such a good time. I was very nervous that he wouldn't love Disney, but it was great.
I did the Salkantay Trek a couple of years ago and it was very long, but honestly the views were amazing, the guides absolutely make the experience and it was so rewarding. I would recommend getting the bus up at the end and walking down-it means you can get there before the crowds, can see the sunrise at Machu Picchu and appreciate it without the crazy crowds. And on the subject of Peru in general, Arequipa is a beautiful city, as is Cuzco and the people you meet make it so much better-almost every Peruvian I met was so kind and grateful, and you honestly feel so welcomed everywhere you go. Whilst you're there, make sure you try Inca Kola, Casino biscuits and Sublime chocolate bars-I miss them so much!
I'm watching your older videos after discovering you from your interview on the Financial Diet. By the way, been to Burning Man 8 times and going again this year. Definitely recommend it. If you haven't gone I really think you should!
I will be hitting two items off of my bucket list in 2018 - moving to Nashville, and visiting Paris. I have so much more like publishing my second novel that I'm excited about too of course
"The Arctic" isn't that hard to visit. Svalbard is well within it, and so are a lot of places in mainland Norway. The actual North Pole is sígnificantly harder and more expensive, of course...
yes! please come to alaska as part of your "visit the Arctic" goal!!! the northern lights are full force during the winter-- we recently had a full week of them! (so that's 2 goals in one haha). i'd love if you could speak at my university (University of Alaska Southeast, Juneau). juneau is a very progressive, welcoming town and we're very LGBTQ+ friendly, so i think you doing a talk on gender and sexuality would be a real treat!! i think you'd very much enjoy it there! i recommend visiting late april to early may for whale watching!, when you are well again, that is. :)
I went to Glastonbury when I was 7 and again when I was 10 because my dad was a DJ playing there and hopefully I will get to go again. I really recommend it!!!
I was genuinely chuffed when you said newcastle :) I'm a geordie and therefore biased but some of the architecture is unreal and there is some great stuff round here. Worth looking into as there's more to newcastle than most think.
I love yosemite! I live in southern california, and we do a mammoth/yosemite trip almost every summer. I would totally recommend doing it in the summer! And go to mammoth as well and do the saddlebag lake hike!!
It's okay if you've never skied, I'm 26 and I'm skiing next week-end for the first time of my life (and I'm a little bit scared to be honest). You're never too old to try something!
I recently watched booksandquills youtube video update on her 30 by 30 and have now become addicted to wanting to know others 30 before 30! I have been trying to come up with my own list but I haven;t got 30 yet. Mine at 22 (Turned 23 this month) 1. Save for a house 2. Buy a house 3. Fall in love (sickening and generic I know) 4. Get a pet 5. Go to Edinburgh near Christmas 6. Find a job/career I love and that inspires me to become a better person 7. Find a new hobby 8. Learn how to cook 3 or 4 good meals. 9. Go abroad with a group of friends 10. Have a morning routine 11. Buy a new car (sorry Maureen) 12. Go Scubadiving 13. Go dogsledding 14. See the northern lights 15. Ride on the beach.... That's all I got so far
Hannah, please try and make Newcastle the next thing you cross off! I went to Northumbria so I adore it and I know you will love it too! Also for living abroad, you should definitely consider applying for the European Solidarity Corps where you can go and work or volunteer expenses paid for an NGO in another country for 2 weeks- 12 months! I just got back from doing European Voluntary Service (the Solidarity Corps’ predecessor) in Brussels for 9 months and it was amazing! You should definitely look into it! ❤️
If you're ever in Chicago, you can go to a brunch buffet at the top of the Hancock building! It's called the Signature Room and I believe it's about $50 per person. But the view is astounding and the food is amazing. Highly recommend!
I know you've done your research but as someone currently studying a module in the Gender department at LSE (called Gender, Sexuality and Culture) I thought I'd let you know it's i n c r e d i b l e. The lecturers are wonderful and I kind of wish my entire masters was in the gender department, haha. Basically just wanted to pop by and vouch for LSE/mention how fabulous its gender and sexuality department is! ^_^
I learned to ski last week! (I'm 24 and I hadn't tried it before either) It's a lot of fun! I would suggest going somewhere that isn't very busy or has a lot of bunny hills to learn on because the other hills are really intimidating. Also ski boots are super heavy and hurt your feet but it's definitely worth trying :)
You can sometimes see the Northern lights from Newcastle area. So there you go, two-in-one! But even if you don't have the chance, it is still a beautiful city to visit. I studied there and I just fell in love with it on the very first day ❤ As far as living abroad for (at least) one month is concerned, you are more than welcome to come to Spain 😄
I would happily spend a week in Disney World with you haha! I said on Lucy’s vid but I’m 19 and have a couple of things: move out preferrably to a lil flat which I can buy, get a dog, have a girlfriend, move away from Cardiff where I live, read 50 books in a year also, travel a lot more (Japan, Australia, New York, Canada) specifically but literally everywhere, go to comic con in London and San Diego, go to Disney World Florida and Disney Land Paris again and go to Edinburgh at Christmas time
Highly recommend Tromso in Norway for Northern Lights, also a good country to ski in. You can fly there from London too and I think the success rate of seeing them is better than iceland
Vlogmas is hard! It's a great challenge though. I think Vlognukah was a smart idea. I'm 29 next year... I made a list a while back, and I think I have done about half... but you've inspired me to re-evaluate and try and nail the rest in the next 22 months :) Can't believe you've never been to Newcastle - I have ticked that off :D Student debt get's written off eventually... and most people never pay it off in full. And I'll be pumped if I reach 1k on here anytime soon :D Skiing is on my list too... well technically snowboarding... but same thing really :P
On the topic of hair dye, I use semi- permanent hair dye for my hair. It only has small amounts of damaging chemicals and you can still get a bright colour that lasts for about six weeks.
I've made my own 30 before 30, but I feel like I could do with 10 before 30. I don't need to do all of the things on my list, but the few that I like the most are: - reading every book that I own (except for manuals and cookbooks) - paid off at least 25% of my student debts - donate blood and/or stem cells (unfortunately, I'm not allowed atm because of my weight) - visit Hobbiton - Compete in a mudmasters or Iron man type of thing.
You are basically describing my sister! She has been to Yosemite, loves history, is doing a half marathon soon, has been to Hobbiton (and loved it), trying to find a house with her partner (Dan) and loves walking and has been to Glastonbury. I think you'd get on really well but its unlikely that my sister would meet you well I don't really know and what are the chances of anyone seeing this comment 😂
I recently went on the Inca trail for four days. I felt like the four days and nights was the perfect amount of time. There are limited spots so you have to reserve way in advance. But the Inca Trail may be my favorite experience of my life. I highly recommend!
You could totally knock three off the list by a) going to Canada and living there for a month during the winter, and b) travel to the arctic to, c) the northern lights!
Yosemite is by for the most beautiful national park I've been to in the US. I can not wait to go back. It's even better than the Grand Canyon, I think. The Yosemite valley is my picture.
Yes! Come see us in Geordie land. Also on the pet front, crested geckos are adorable. I got my first as a hatchling and it is amazing watching them grow and seeing their morph change. They love for a long time though so best to get one when you are fully settled down :)
Regarding number 26, my boyfriend works at a Michelin star restaurant, they do a massive food festival thing every year called Obsession. The Hotel & restaurant is called Northcote, it's in Lancashire, might be one to look into :)
When you said a goal was to get half a million subscribers, I was very confused, you're so cool and professional, where are these subscribers, you surely deserve them... Watched your 'get organized video' once more, so that's what i will do now, also I read like 10 books this year and I'm so disappointed about it, but it was kinda a rough year, so let's start again XD Also, I'm 19 years old and just finished my first semester in college, so your 30 before 30 list is interesting to watch for me, I'm thinking of setting some goals for the next few years, but actually I probably won't do much beside my studying, so yeah... And I hope, you'll achieve number 30 ^^ Have a nice holiday break!
If you want to come up to Newcastle I’d deffinitly recommend properly planning our stuff to do before you come... there’s a lot of great stuff to do but it’s difficult to just show up and find enough stuff to fill a day. I’d recommend going to see a show at the sage if you have time
As far as the northern lights, I'd recommend looking up the Ice Hotel in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden. I've never been there but it's supposed to be a pretty crazy experience :) It's really far north in the country so they have a good chance of seeing the northern lights up there.
I have concerns about planning for the future of my relationship and my own future; living together, getting a dog etc. My current partner and I know we're very compatible and very in love. So I see it as a positive thing that we're so free about those topics. I'm trying to not think about the potential of crashing and burning, because it isn't worth ruining what I have with him right now by doing so. Especially since it could be for nothing, after all: we could make it 'till death do us part.
You can also see the northern lights in Donegal! It's one of the most northern parts of the Republic of Ireland. I imagine you can also see them from Northern Ireland. There is, however, a certain time of year when it's best to see them. Not sure when that is though. Good luck!
Love that you're interested in Burning Man! I've been several times and love it. The only thing I would say is PLEASE do your research and look out for some resources/people who have been before. Burning Man is a community, not a festival, but I've not doubt you would have an amazing experience and be a fantastic participant.
Loved your vlognukah :) I managed to accomplish 8 of my 30 before 30 this year (I'm 23) and am hoping to accomplish a half marathon next year. Love your content :)
More of a cyclist than a walker myself, but my younger sister did a 750km cycling trip for charity this year, so I think next year, in the name of good old sibling rivalry, I ought to beat it and go 1000km for charity... Maybe it would be an idea to set 1500km as a target before I'm thirty; still got three-and-a-bit years left.
I visited Poland a few years ago and went to Auschwitz too. Krakow is the most beautiful place I've ever visited and I want to learn polish so I can spend some time the in the future because it was amazing. Could not recommend highly enough
Hannah D it’s such an authoritarian racist country though...pretty, yes...beautiful architecture, yes...but incredibly white supremacist and fascist even more so than Donald trump’s USA
no it's not. there are racist everywhere in Poland also, but we are not that racist. we are slavic so we are white. we may stare at someone who is not but that because it's a bit unusal for us to see (mostly in smaller cities) not because we are hating on somebody.
Aleksandra S. I mean I am white but yeah that is a thing to consider because no one wants to live somewhere racist! I understand the staring at different people thing but it is also really wrong to do that and intuition says you shouldn't- it is 2017 and the world is so connected that that shouldn't be an issue anymore. Well, either way, I'd love to visit again and also there are lots of Polish people in England so it would be a useful language to learn
Just turned 29 this week and posted a 30 before 30 vlog. First thing on my list was start vlogging and to be consistent with it so fingers crossed I keep at it. Obviously I've only one year left so I'm gonna have to be picky and choosey about what I dedicate time to.
Coming to you from the future as an ancient 36 year old to be a bit morbid and remind you to enjoy having your parents around as much as possible during this time, too. It’s so easy to get caught up in all the things you want to accomplish in your independent adult life that it is easy to forget that they want to be a part of your life still, and you will miss them desperately when they are gone. ❤️
Yes!!! I saw a quote that was something along the lines of "we are so busy growing up, that we forget that our parents are growing old." It really put things into perspective for me and also made me quite sad. But now when I think of everything I want to achieve, I'll always remember that my family is also a priority. ❤️
There was a second before you finished the sentence ‘keep a plant alive’ where I thought you were going to say ‘keep a placenta’ and I was deeply confused
So I was inspired to write my own-
30 things to do before your 30 (This is super hard actually)
1) Take a trip abroad with your friends- At least with Logan and Connor
2) Take a trip alone- bonus points if abroad
3) Finish writing your book- be a published author- bonus points for a movie deal
4) Submit 5 of your photos to magazines
5) Have a long term relationship where you feel comfortable living with them.
6) Travel to Africa, South America, and Europe
7) Go skydiving
8) Ride in a hot air balloon
9) Attend Austin Pride (preferably with L&C)
10) Own a Newfie dog
11) Read 30 books- rediscover your love of reading, you recently have stopped
12) Live out of the country for at least a month
13) Teach English abroad
14) Celebrate a holiday with friends
15) Go on vacation for a week without the internet (excluding the occasional gps if lost, let’s be honest Chris its you)
16) Become more self-confident in your body-take risks with cloths, hair etc.
17) Start a RUclips channel
18) Host a dinner party (at least 3 courses) bonus points if it is a surprise murder mystery
19) Have a garden
20) Volunteer with a charity or organization
21) Visit Diagon alley
22) Try 5 foods you normally wouldn’t
23) Buy the food of the car behind me in a drive through line
24) Put yourself out there- yes this is subjective but you know what you mean. Screw the anxiety, depression and self-esteem issues, get up and dance
25) Come out to your family- let the pieces fall where they may. If what you think will happen happens, you have L&C and let’s be honest those two couldn’t get rid of you if they tried.
26) Take some cooking classes- You can follow recipes no problem, but you don’t “cook”
27) Sing anyway
28) Become a member of someplace you love
29) Have a decent sized savings account
30) Be unapologetically you
Any update on your goals??
You could combine going to the arctic, seeing the northern lights and skiing into one trip. I recommend northern Canada for this.
I did the Inca trail a month ago! It’s bloody hard! There’s no other words for it but super rewarding!! And the sense of comradery wth other hikers is just incredible! Would recommend ❤️
Quarry trail is shorter but you don’t end up at Machu Picchu you’re just walking for the sake of walking, and salkantay trek is longer but not as hard as the Inca 🙃
Shan F I did the Salkantay and it was absolutely incredible, yes it's longer but it is so worth it!
I did the Inca trail last year. There are so many stairs but it is beautiful and so rewarding! Peru is amazing and you can never go wrong with coca tea 🙂 I recommend the trip to everyone!
I did salkantay as well & it was beautiful
I did the salkantay too and it was simply amazing, would 100% recommend
You think thats tough? Get to mr 24 in warframe. I'm still only 12 with 500 ish hours in. Good luck.
Visiting Auschwitz is difficult, but its one of the most life altering things someone can do. I'll never forget that day as long as I live, and everyone needs to see it in their lifetime.
I went there, and think going to see what Pol Pot did in Cambodia is more life altering than Auschwitz. This is just because what they actually show you is more gruesome, and does not hide behind something.

Newcastle is excellent. My recommendation would be to always look up at the tops of buildings, all of the boring shop fronts mask the most incredible historic buildings above!
'Hers is like twice as much as mine.'
3 times. 3 times as much. As my older brother's. 9 times as much as my sister's. Not salty at all.
Love the video Hannah! x
It would be interesting to see a video from you on personal finances (nothing too specific). Mostly because you are going to buy a flat (super congrats!) but haven’t paid off your student debt or have a pension, which is a interesting situation to be in - particularly in London.
I actually love watching everyone's video on this cause everyone has such different goals
I don’t know why I like listening to your voice so much, it’s so satisfying and calming x
"My five year plan"
Hannah is stalin confirmed
😂😂😂
When you do the Inka Trail do it after the half marathon. Im peruvian and grew up spending my holidays in the highlands and even with all that time I could not do a 4 hour trek to Laguna 69 (Huaraz). Gotta be physically prepared for 3000+ meters above sea level.
Thank you Hannah for another good year of video’s. I enjoyed watching them and I hope to see more of them next year!
Great idea & cool to watch this 2 years later knowing a few things you've done so far! (Mustard the Gecko!!, Hitting half a million subs, disney world week too? Etc)
You are always so inspiring and I always leave your videos feeling more motivated about trying to do things that I'm creatively 'attracted' to amongst doing the things that my academia requires of me.

I literally learned how to ski yesterday and it was one of the most fun things I did all year. Highly recommend!
I went to Auschwitz last year with my history class and it was so overwhelming but also such an incredible trip. I myself am not Jewish but have had a long line of Jewish relatives so it meant so much going there. The place itself is haunting and most absolutely ripped my heart out, however, it was such an interesting place and you get such a different experience from actually going there than just hearing about it.

I'm from Newcastle, you'll love it!

Hannah I am doing a gender masters at LSE and could not be happier. I was skeptical of LSE at first, but the gender department is stellar. The teaching quality is incredibly high and the course is so stimulating and critical and I just love it. Would seriously recommend! Xx
I hate watching Vloggers but I fell in love with this girl.
Hey it's from your friend in USA Michigan I hope your home and getting well and feeling better we miss you
Hannah, 50+ books in one year is easily achieved if you read at least one comic book before you go to bed every night. I started around October and have missed it only 2 or 3 nights. To say it's been an education is an understatement! I've learned all sorts of things about the hero and heroines of the world! Plus there's many more subjects other than superhero genre that you can get into. And as a bonus: it's inspired my fictional writing to pretty good degree.

As a bartender at a restaurant/frequent bruncher in NYC and Brooklyn (where I live) yes, we do have time limits on our bottomless brunch! It’s usually 1.5 or 2 hours, which is honestly more than enough time to get a healthy dose of mimosas or bloody Mary’s in your system while still drinking responsibly! ☺️🥂
This has inspired me to make a 20 before 20. Looking at my list just really motivates me! Thanks Hannah! ❤️
Going for bottomless breakfast at one of the Las Vegas hotels is a must! There's no time limit and there are literally hundreds and hundreds of different breakfast items to choose from!
yay! it's what i did, i donated my hair and the remaining ones dyed blue and so far I'm loving it!
#30: Get Married. Calling it
Called correctly! Her first vid married came out today
@@hitchikerspie she did get married, but that wasn't number 30 on her list
Go for it on the Disney vacation! I've been twice as an adult (22 and this year at 29). My partner had never been, doesn't like roller coasters and had never flown and we had such a good time. I was very nervous that he wouldn't love Disney, but it was great.
I did the Salkantay Trek a couple of years ago and it was very long, but honestly the views were amazing, the guides absolutely make the experience and it was so rewarding. I would recommend getting the bus up at the end and walking down-it means you can get there before the crowds, can see the sunrise at Machu Picchu and appreciate it without the crazy crowds.
And on the subject of Peru in general, Arequipa is a beautiful city, as is Cuzco and the people you meet make it so much better-almost every Peruvian I met was so kind and grateful, and you honestly feel so welcomed everywhere you go. Whilst you're there, make sure you try Inca Kola, Casino biscuits and Sublime chocolate bars-I miss them so much!
YES come to Disney world and do a meet up in Disney springs!!! (Can you tell I live right there and really want to meet you)
I love all of these! I turn 25 in January and should definitely make a 30 by 30 list and also a 5 year plan.
Also I live in Yellowknife, Canada and we have some of the best northern lights in the world!
I'm watching your older videos after discovering you from your interview on the Financial Diet. By the way, been to Burning Man 8 times and going again this year. Definitely recommend it. If you haven't gone I really think you should!
omg yeeees you have to go skiing! I love it sooo much and I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun
I moved to the Arctic about a year and a half ago, and northern lights are somewhat normal now. These are definitely easy goals to achieve.
Love you x. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah. Will miss you, missy 🌸
I will be hitting two items off of my bucket list in 2018 - moving to Nashville, and visiting Paris. I have so much more like publishing my second novel that I'm excited about too of course
"I do." That's it. 30 is marriage.
Or have a baby?
Ahahaha this is so funny now we know it’s “have anal sex”
Who’s back here after she made the update?
Me, only to read the comments to see if anyone else had come back since the reaction 😂
Arctic / Antarctica might be difficult. But Svalbard is quite possible. Tom Scott has a great video on getting there.
Check out gadventures. They do tours to Antarctica. ☺
They also have Northern lights there (I am not commenting as I am watching, no sir, not me)
"The Arctic" isn't that hard to visit. Svalbard is well within it, and so are a lot of places in mainland Norway. The actual North Pole is sígnificantly harder and more expensive, of course...
You can literally book a cruise to Antarctica and every day they stop in a different area, not as hard as people think.
Canadian Arctic would be totally do-able. Go to the Canadian territory of Nunavut. Bonus: maybe northern lights! Win win?
yes! please come to alaska as part of your "visit the Arctic" goal!!! the northern lights are full force during the winter-- we recently had a full week of them! (so that's 2 goals in one haha). i'd love if you could speak at my university (University of Alaska Southeast, Juneau). juneau is a very progressive, welcoming town and we're very LGBTQ+ friendly, so i think you doing a talk on gender and sexuality would be a real treat!! i think you'd very much enjoy it there! i recommend visiting late april to early may for whale watching!, when you are well again, that is. :)
I went to Glastonbury when I was 7 and again when I was 10 because my dad was a DJ playing there and hopefully I will get to go again. I really recommend it!!!
Skiing is awesome, mostly because of the beauty of the landscapes.
I know you can ski in England, in Northumbria, but Alps are amazing.
I was genuinely chuffed when you said newcastle :) I'm a geordie and therefore biased but some of the architecture is unreal and there is some great stuff round here. Worth looking into as there's more to newcastle than most think.
I love yosemite! I live in southern california, and we do a mammoth/yosemite trip almost every summer. I would totally recommend doing it in the summer! And go to mammoth as well and do the saddlebag lake hike!!
It's okay if you've never skied, I'm 26 and I'm skiing next week-end for the first time of my life (and I'm a little bit scared to be honest). You're never too old to try something!
I recently watched booksandquills youtube video update on her 30 by 30 and have now become addicted to wanting to know others 30 before 30! I have been trying to come up with my own list but I haven;t got 30 yet.
Mine at 22 (Turned 23 this month)
1. Save for a house
2. Buy a house
3. Fall in love (sickening and generic I know)
4. Get a pet
5. Go to Edinburgh near Christmas
6. Find a job/career I love and that inspires me to become a better person
7. Find a new hobby
8. Learn how to cook 3 or 4 good meals.
9. Go abroad with a group of friends
10. Have a morning routine
11. Buy a new car (sorry Maureen)
12. Go Scubadiving
13. Go dogsledding
14. See the northern lights
15. Ride on the beach....
That's all I got so far
HAPPY HOLIDAYS/ New Years!
My gosh this sounds so inspiring!
This video is so inspiring! Might film it for my own RUclips channel next week ❤️
Come to Canada to see the Northern Lights! They are incredible! Especially in the Yukon!
Hannah, please try and make Newcastle the next thing you cross off! I went to Northumbria so I adore it and I know you will love it too! Also for living abroad, you should definitely consider applying for the European Solidarity Corps where you can go and work or volunteer expenses paid for an NGO in another country for 2 weeks- 12 months! I just got back from doing European Voluntary Service (the Solidarity Corps’ predecessor) in Brussels for 9 months and it was amazing! You should definitely look into it! ❤️
If you're ever in Chicago, you can go to a brunch buffet at the top of the Hancock building! It's called the Signature Room and I believe it's about $50 per person. But the view is astounding and the food is amazing. Highly recommend!
I know you've done your research but as someone currently studying a module in the Gender department at LSE (called Gender, Sexuality and Culture) I thought I'd let you know it's i n c r e d i b l e. The lecturers are wonderful and I kind of wish my entire masters was in the gender department, haha. Basically just wanted to pop by and vouch for LSE/mention how fabulous its gender and sexuality department is! ^_^
I learned to ski last week! (I'm 24 and I hadn't tried it before either) It's a lot of fun! I would suggest going somewhere that isn't very busy or has a lot of bunny hills to learn on because the other hills are really intimidating. Also ski boots are super heavy and hurt your feet but it's definitely worth trying :)
You can sometimes see the Northern lights from Newcastle area. So there you go, two-in-one! But even if you don't have the chance, it is still a beautiful city to visit. I studied there and I just fell in love with it on the very first day ❤
As far as living abroad for (at least) one month is concerned, you are more than welcome to come to Spain 😄
Greetings from Austin, TX! You should definitely come to SXSW this year
I would happily spend a week in Disney World with you haha! I said on Lucy’s vid but I’m 19 and have a couple of things: move out preferrably to a lil flat which I can buy, get a dog, have a girlfriend, move away from Cardiff where I live, read 50 books in a year also, travel a lot more (Japan, Australia, New York, Canada) specifically but literally everywhere, go to comic con in London and San Diego, go to Disney World Florida and Disney Land Paris again and go to Edinburgh at Christmas time
Highly recommend Tromso in Norway for Northern Lights, also a good country to ski in. You can fly there from London too and I think the success rate of seeing them is better than iceland
I absolutely love these and as a 25 year old I am in the process of writing mine out! All I know so far is I'd really like to create an app!
I started this year with the resolution to read a book a week, and now I’m on number 60!
Alex Nettleship impressive! I read 2 1/2 this year. That's it 😕
Vlogmas is hard! It's a great challenge though. I think Vlognukah was a smart idea. I'm 29 next year... I made a list a while back, and I think I have done about half... but you've inspired me to re-evaluate and try and nail the rest in the next 22 months :) Can't believe you've never been to Newcastle - I have ticked that off :D Student debt get's written off eventually... and most people never pay it off in full. And I'll be pumped if I reach 1k on here anytime soon :D Skiing is on my list too... well technically snowboarding... but same thing really :P
You should make a video about your Jewish heritage/family history!
You look STUNNING Hannah!
On the topic of hair dye, I use semi- permanent hair dye for my hair. It only has small amounts of damaging chemicals and you can still get a bright colour that lasts for about six weeks.
I've made my own 30 before 30, but I feel like I could do with 10 before 30. I don't need to do all of the things on my list, but the few that I like the most are:
- reading every book that I own (except for manuals and cookbooks)
- paid off at least 25% of my student debts
- donate blood and/or stem cells (unfortunately, I'm not allowed atm because of my weight)
- visit Hobbiton
- Compete in a mudmasters or Iron man type of thing.
You are basically describing my sister! She has been to Yosemite, loves history, is doing a half marathon soon, has been to Hobbiton (and loved it), trying to find a house with her partner (Dan) and loves walking and has been to Glastonbury. I think you'd get on really well but its unlikely that my sister would meet you well I don't really know and what are the chances of anyone seeing this comment 😂
I recently went on the Inca trail for four days. I felt like the four days and nights was the perfect amount of time. There are limited spots so you have to reserve way in advance. But the Inca Trail may be my favorite experience of my life. I highly recommend!
YES please do come to newcastle! You could do a meet up and we could show you lots of wonderful north-easty things :)
youre almost at half a million!! omg
I live in austin and I go to south by southwest every year! It's such an amazing festival!
Okay, now I'm on my way to do my own list, thanks for inspiration!
Girl, get yourself up in Newcastle. It is absolutely beautiful!
You could totally knock three off the list by a) going to Canada and living there for a month during the winter, and b) travel to the arctic to, c) the northern lights!
Yosemite is by for the most beautiful national park I've been to in the US. I can not wait to go back. It's even better than the Grand Canyon, I think. The Yosemite valley is my picture.
Yes! Come see us in Geordie land.
Also on the pet front, crested geckos are adorable. I got my first as a hatchling and it is amazing watching them grow and seeing their morph change. They love for a long time though so best to get one when you are fully settled down :)
Live not love haha
I ODed on latkes today and this was a nice thing to see on my feed, suffering on me couch
Regarding number 26, my boyfriend works at a Michelin star restaurant, they do a massive food festival thing every year called Obsession. The Hotel & restaurant is called Northcote, it's in Lancashire, might be one to look into :)
OMG 30! What a cliffhanger
Love your vids Hannah!
When you said a goal was to get half a million subscribers, I was very confused, you're so cool and professional, where are these subscribers, you surely deserve them...
Watched your 'get organized video' once more, so that's what i will do now, also I read like 10 books this year and I'm so disappointed about it, but it was kinda a rough year, so let's start again XD
Also, I'm 19 years old and just finished my first semester in college, so your 30 before 30 list is interesting to watch for me, I'm thinking of setting some goals for the next few years, but actually I probably won't do much beside my studying, so yeah...
And I hope, you'll achieve number 30 ^^
Have a nice holiday break!
I hate Vloggers but I fell in love with this girl.
You shouldn't go to Antarctica. It is very bad for the planet to do so. But, you should go to the Arctic. Preferably Finland.
It far easier/cheaper too
mousefactors i'm not doubting you but i'm just wondering why?
www.coolantarctica.com/Antarctica%20fact%20file/science/threats_tourism.php
Definitely come to Finland! And if you come in winter you can most likely knock the Northern Lights off your list too!
Texas has ahhhmazing brunches!! Can sit and drink for hours. Soo fun!
If you want to come up to Newcastle I’d deffinitly recommend properly planning our stuff to do before you come... there’s a lot of great stuff to do but it’s difficult to just show up and find enough stuff to fill a day. I’d recommend going to see a show at the sage if you have time
As far as the northern lights, I'd recommend looking up the Ice Hotel in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden. I've never been there but it's supposed to be a pretty crazy experience :) It's really far north in the country so they have a good chance of seeing the northern lights up there.
I have concerns about planning for the future of my relationship and my own future; living together, getting a dog etc. My current partner and I know we're very compatible and very in love. So I see it as a positive thing that we're so free about those topics. I'm trying to not think about the potential of crashing and burning, because it isn't worth ruining what I have with him right now by doing so. Especially since it could be for nothing, after all: we could make it 'till death do us part.
You can also see the northern lights in Donegal! It's one of the most northern parts of the Republic of Ireland. I imagine you can also see them from Northern Ireland. There is, however, a certain time of year when it's best to see them. Not sure when that is though. Good luck!
I saw the Northern lights thanks to a stewardess on Virgin Atlantic when flying back from LAX a few years ago. Good luck with the list
Love that you're interested in Burning Man! I've been several times and love it. The only thing I would say is PLEASE do your research and look out for some resources/people who have been before. Burning Man is a community, not a festival, but I've not doubt you would have an amazing experience and be a fantastic participant.
Northern Lights are on my list too 😊 but i wanna do that with the boyfriiiend (who is not existing right now)
Jou*Jules i think i am really😂
Rusty 828 ... ?
Loved your vlognukah :)
I managed to accomplish 8 of my 30 before 30 this year (I'm 23) and am hoping to accomplish a half marathon next year.
Love your content :)
More of a cyclist than a walker myself, but my younger sister did a 750km cycling trip for charity this year, so I think next year, in the name of good old sibling rivalry, I ought to beat it and go 1000km for charity... Maybe it would be an idea to set 1500km as a target before I'm thirty; still got three-and-a-bit years left.
I visited Poland a few years ago and went to Auschwitz too. Krakow is the most beautiful place I've ever visited and I want to learn polish so I can spend some time the in the future because it was amazing. Could not recommend highly enough
I study in Krakow and can confirm that this city is amazing, I'm absolutely in love with it :) Glad you liked it though!
Hannah D it’s such an authoritarian racist country though...pretty, yes...beautiful architecture, yes...but incredibly white supremacist and fascist even more so than Donald trump’s USA
no it's not. there are racist everywhere in Poland also, but we are not that racist. we are slavic so we are white. we may stare at someone who is not but that because it's a bit unusal for us to see (mostly in smaller cities) not because we are hating on somebody.
Aleksandra S. I mean I am white but yeah that is a thing to consider because no one wants to live somewhere racist! I understand the staring at different people thing but it is also really wrong to do that and intuition says you shouldn't- it is 2017 and the world is so connected that that shouldn't be an issue anymore. Well, either way, I'd love to visit again and also there are lots of Polish people in England so it would be a useful language to learn
Just turned 29 this week and posted a 30 before 30 vlog. First thing on my list was start vlogging and to be consistent with it so fingers crossed I keep at it. Obviously I've only one year left so I'm gonna have to be picky and choosey about what I dedicate time to.
