While in Glacier in June 2010, I worked with an awesome guy who inspired me to come up with my own 30 things to do before my 30th birthday list (30 before 30).

  1. Cool idea. I should do 50 before 50...got two years left! I've ridden a camel when I lived in Iran. I've been to Africa (lived in Tanzania for 2 months), I've been to Jasper, and saw giraffes in the wild....
