Just turning 30 but I'd have to add: International travel. Covid pretty much made that not possible for the first 18 months and very difficult for the next 18 months. It was looking like things were improving for travel but then the Russian invasion happened. Travel somewhere rare and weird before it gets too late - and there are places now that aren't possible to visit anymore that were just 6 months ago. Knowing how the majority world lives has given me a much more humble worldview and appreciation for where I am. And a good laugh everytime some new startup claims to "change the world" or whatever.
Second thing! Make sure to long-term archive your memories - whatever's on your phone, old tapes, old prints, etc. Get them scanned, uploaded, and backed up to 3 distinct locations. 30 years from now, you're gonna be so happy you did. My parents kept and recently mailed me a box of tape cassettes from when I was a baby 30 years back - very enjoyable watching those with my wife, has made my parents happy to watch, and will be fun to show those to my future children.
