I'm only 30, so it's not like 25 was particularly long ago for me. But since then, I've gotten married, which is a major life change (overall for the better for me!).
But if I could go back to age 25, before I was married, I'd have told myself to travel to more far-flung places. Being married, I have to:
A) Agree with my wife on where we want to travel
B) Have time to travel that works for both of our schedules (which is difficult to find... plus we have to spend at least some of our time off going to visit our respective families, and now I have two families to visit instead of one)
C) Have the money to travel. In our case, we have two incomes, but still, it was much cheaper when I'd travel with friends and cram four people into a cheap hotel room.
I'm not complaining here. I'm fortunate to have spare income that let's me travel quite a bit with my wife and it's really a fantastic experience to travel with your partner. But there are trade-offs that I simply didn't have as a 25 year old. So those places that are far away and hard to get to? See them while you're young.
