I agree a lot with what you said.
But I always recommend people travel internationally in their 20s. Sure you can do it when you’re older. And it is still amazing.
But there is something about traveling in your youth that can’t be captured later in life.
- imesh 9y agoMy theory, as a youth you are exploring yourself as you explore the world and it feels so epic. As an adult you are just looking at stuff and eating.
- csa 9y agoWhile I agree with your first sentence, I strongly disagree with your second. If someone is only "looking at stuff and eating" as they explore the world, then they have given up on exploring themselves (maybe temporarily, maybe permanently). There is plenty of opportunity and reward for growing ("exploring oneself") when you're older, and choosing not to is simply the path of least resistance that many/most people seem to take. Lots of younger people seem to think that the spirit of life starts to die after some age (30?) or life event (having kids?), but based on people I know who have passed these milestones, that is completely not a fait accompli. Quite the contrary.
