Before you settle down with Mr or Mrs Right, we have five things that every girl must experience!

When you finally do settle down the last thing you want is a life full of a regrets - you don't want to be faced with the agony of constant 'what if's' for the rest of your years!

So get started with living your life to the fullest now, by ticking off all of these 'must-do' activities before you settle down...

Have an international romance
Have an international liaison with someone foreign. It is preferable that this someone should have a sexy accent and looks to match. Whether it is a romantic rendezvous in Europe or a tropical island adventure, this will be one story not fit for telling to any future children!

Ask someone out on a date
Take that first step yourself, be impulsive. Take a deep breath and just do it. What is the worst thing that could happen? They say no? Then you just go on with life, no big deal – just make sure you ask someone random, not a person you see each and every day. Who knows? This could actually lead you to Mr Right - but let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet. For now, just ask him out before you never get the chance again.

Rage it up
Spend a whole night out on the dance floor, having the time of your life with ‘the girls’ until dawn. Then, laugh lots over a few strong cups of coffee and head straight to work. Admittedly you feel like absolute rubbish during your working
day, but the memories of that night will be well worth it, I promise. Just make sure this is a one off occasion – you don’t want to end up losing your job (unless of course that is an experience you desire!).

See our world
Take a trip as far away as you dare, for as long as you can. Us nzgirls are known for our love of OEs and it is definitely a must do before you settle down. Give yourself the chance to see the sites of foreign places, meet the locals and other tourists. Doing this before you settle down means you don’t need to worry about what your other half might say about your actions– or what they may be doing while you are gone. Traditional “must dos” include:

• Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany
• Carnivale in Rio de Janeiro
• Clubbing in Ibiza
• Las Fiestas de San Fermin in Pamplona, Spain

• The Guy or the Trip?
• 29 Reasons it Rocks to be Single
• Am I Ready to Get Engaged?
• Moving in Together
