Expedia says that US Millennials travel 35 days per year, compared to 26 days for Generation X; 27 days for Baby Boomers; and 29 days for Generation Z. The average budget of Millennials is slightly below the annual travel spend of Generation X or Baby Boomers.
One year olds are often highly mobile yet totally uncontrollable, making for a potentially dangerous travel combination. At this age, children are still too young to understand and follow instructions, so discipline is ineffective. Distraction and maybe bribery are really your only tools!
Travel is not age-specific, it will shower you with lessons and experiences at every stage of your life. I feel quite qualified to answer this question because a few years ago I quit my job, packed my life into a suitcase and travelled for 9 months. And I was 27.
Age has nothing to do with whether someone travels or not. If you have the money and the desire and there is nothing that you are obligated to do (like take care of your aging parents or a wife and child), then there is no real reason not to travel.
But Gen Zers are different from older generations, because they are the first consumers to have grown up wholly in the digital era. They're tech-savvy and mobile-first—and they have high standards for how they spend their time online.
Many people travel in their 20s after graduating from high school or during a post-college gap year before they start their careers. If you feel as if you've missed the boat, rest assured that people in their 30s can still enjoy traveling the globe. In fact, traveling at this age is even better.
Truth: Hostels are generally open to people of all ages, and I've never been turned away for being beyond my 20s. Do I feel “old” when I stay at hostels? Sometimes, yes. But I've rarely been the only person over 40 staying at one, and I frequently meet travelers in their 50s and 60s who are staying in hostels.
When you travel in your twenties, you burst the bubble that you've been living in for the first two decades of your life and realise that there's more to life than what you know. You find out that your place in the world is ever so small and with that comes an overwhelming, calming sense of humility.
All it takes is a just little more effort and planning for any 30+ year old to fit traveling in their lives. And when they do, they'll find that it's a way better experience than traveling in their 20s. Because traveling in your 30s is amazing. It's also much more meaningful, at least for me.
Chou did the math, and it turns out that frequent fliers actually age the tiniest bit more quickly than those of us with both feet on the ground. Planes travel at high enough altitudes that the weak gravitational field speeds up the tick rate of a clock on board more than the high speeds slow it down.
