After graduating university at 20 and emigrating to Switzerland to enter the workforce, my twenties have seemed fairly long; In my time here I have worked, saved, traveled, gotten married to Kay (twice), and bought a house together with him. He might be out of his twenties already, but I still have a couple years left to enjoy!

Sometimes, having done so much, I forget that I am still fairly young. My mother reminds me that I have always been precocious and loved doing things earlier than I “should”, but I am turning 28 and still have two solid years of my twenties left to enjoy before I reach the golden thirties.

So what would I like to accomplish before my 29th birthday next year? Well, I have some goals:

• Health:
  • Push my fitness goals, get stronger, build endurance
  • Flexibility: Continue to stretch and push further
  • Diet: Less caffeine/sugar/alcohol, more greens
• Travel:
  • Visit more cities and countries
  • See more of Switzerland, especially the mountains. Spend more nights in the Alps
• Design:
  • Push to inspire myself as a designer and learn more
  • Paint and draw more. I never do it anymore!
  • Sewing: I had better have finished all our curtains a year from now!!

Do you set yourself any goals at your birthday? Or are you more of a New-Year-Resolution type person?
