The Fifth Year of Trying Fifty-Two New Things.
Yet another year of leaving a fair few things until December. But I did it, and as I completed my last new experience, I realised I’d now been doing this for half a decade!
This was also the year I started to write up the fifty-two new things I tried. Below is the list of all of the fifty-two new things I claimed. You can click through to find out more about my experiences, and find details, costs and recommendations if you fancy having a go yourself.
How many of them have you tried? Are there any you would like to have a go at?
