25 before 25

I have a thing about lists. I love them. Especially ‘To Do Lists’, there’s something about striking off each task that I thoroughly enjoy! I caught myself absentmindedly telling someone that I am 25 years old last week, it was strange, but it made me realise that 25 is on the horizon. This gives me the perfect opportunity to start a 25 before 25 list! I am a workaholic most days so I hope that having a lovely list will encourage me to start tackling these things (particularly improving my German).

I haven't included any cooking-at-home challenges as I’m not currently set up for kitchen adventures :( but hopefully I will be able to start cooking/baking again soon!

2. Learn conversational German

3. A secret for my Love, will let you know after the surprise :)

4. Run the Avon Berlin Women’s Running course - 10km section 

5. Visit ALL the interesting Museums in Berlin (ambitious)

6. Keep a list of the best Museums and what I like about them (this is more so that when I have visitors in town I can decide where to take them easily lol)
