Turning 30 is a big deal. It’s considered a milestone birthday for a variety of reasons. Psychologists even suggest that teenage years have expanded considerably over the past few decades. That means that we Millennials can truly declare ourselves independent adults at about this point in our lives.
If you are about to enter the glorious decade of 30, congratulations! The hang-ups and uncertainties of your 20s have already melted away to make way for a more confident and solid version of yourself.
Celebrate as you please, in an intimate setting with the finest bottles of wine or by hitting one of the wildest night clubs in town. Either way, we have you covered with this list to guarantee a great time.
