mi bucket list para los años de 30

I am just over six months into my 30s, and while the first half of it, outside my professional life, has not gone too well, things are already looking up. I think it's okay if I looked ahead to the rest of my 30s with some goals. Who knows what life will throw at me, either good or bad, but I think it's okay to get excited and dream, ¿no?

-Find a boyfriend and start a family. Or at least the golden retrievers. I think I want to do more of foster kids, as I feel a calling to work with teens. Someone has to do it.

-Obtain a Spanish passport. After a conversation about the differences between Spanish and American/English school systems, I honestly don't know if I could go back to American ways. I would like to either return to Valencia or go to Catalunya (a town near Barcelona, or Girona capital).

-Obtain a stable job teaching secondaría in Spain.

-Have one of my novels published, and finish Novel #2 and Novel #3 (and hopefully 4 and 5, as I have the ideas for both of them even if I haven't started them.)

-Travel to Morocco, Ireland, Greece and Argentina. I hope to pick up Australia and Asia too, as I want to step foot on every continent...but little by little.

-Have my Spanish driver's license and a car.

-Have my credit cards and most of my student loans paid off. The loans are in perpetual forbearance right now.

I probably have more things, but I think this is a good start.
