The Seventh Year Of Trying Fifty-Two New Experiences

2024 was a leap year! A whole extra day for potential everyday adventures!

I ticked off a few active new things that I have had on my list for several years, and achieved some new goals too. You can click through to read more about any of the new things I tried, I’m just finishing updating everything.

What are you doing for the first time this year? I’d love to hear from you, I’m always looking for ideas to add to my lists!

Was this finally the year when I didn’t have around 15 new things to do between Christmas and New Year? I was hoping to be more on the ball, but despite a great start to the year, it didn’t happen.
