30 Lessons I Learned Before 30: An Ordinary Girl's Journey Through Three Decades of Growth and Discovery
As we navigate through the different stages of life, we often forget the experiences and lessons that shaped us into who we are. 30 Lessons I Learned Before 30 is a compelling collection of 30 stories and insights offering encouragement and practical advice for anyone, anywhere on their life journey.
In this book, the author talks about
- Shifting your thinking towards a growth mindset and focusing on things within your control can drastically improve the way you see the world and your own circumstances.
- Finding ways to increase earnings while having good spending habits can do wonders for your financial health. The author paid off all her student loans ($40,000+ CAD) just one year after graduating from university by teaching abroad and taking advantage of geoarbitrage.
- Travelling doesn't have to be expensive! The book covers many travel hacks (including couchsurfing & housesitting) for how the author visited 25+ countries quite cheaply.
- Love can find you in the most unexpected of places. (For her, it was a 6-hour layover in a Peruvian airport, and now she is married to someone in her fourth language.)
- Learning new languages can open doors to new friendships, career opportunities, and a deeper appreciation of different cultures. The author shares details about how she learned five languages.
- Adopting minimalism and simple living (as a result of a funny misadventure) can allow you to embrace time, location, and financial freedom.
- And many other fun and insightful topics regarding personal growth, productivity, happiness, friendship, physical/mental health, leisure, lifestyle design, and more!
From living through a political crisis in Bolivia to taking a solo trip to the Lord of the Rings sites (a childhood dream) in New Zealand, the author shares her personal stories and lessons learned in every experience, offering readers a relatable and inspiring guide to navigating life's challenges and opportunities.
Whether you're looking for a pick-me-up, some giggles, practical life advice, or a mix of all three, 30 Lessons I Learned Before 30 is a book you wouldn't want to miss.

January 24, 2025An Inspiring Tale of Life, Love and Self-discovery!
When I got Ellier’s book, it took me four months before I jumped to read it. Little did I know that I would end up reading one of my favorite books. Despite not being an avid reader but more of an audiobook listener, Ellier’s writing style is very warm and easy to read. It's also refreshing and inspiring. I highly recommend this book to audiences of all ages.
If you are looking for something uplifting to read or something that can spark your creativity or even a bit of romance in your life, this book has it all. On the other hand, if you’re feeling a bit lost in life, perhaps you have a forgotten passion, or your life has taken an unexpected turn, this book may offer you new perspectives. Each lesson is based on the author's personal experiences and the book covers various areas of life such as mindset, personal relationships, travel, finances, and more.
It’s a modern classic that you can carry with you everywhere you go (or travel), serving as a life-saver and a reminder that life is what you make of it. Pick the lessons that resonate with you, and mark them! I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did!
