Why travel before 30?

Traveling while you're young means having the energy to power through time differences and jet lag, having a healthy back to sleep on those uncomfortable hostel beds and most importantly, not having those thirty something responsibilities, like a mortgage, to worry about.

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.

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.

12-18 Months Old
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!

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.

It's the age when most of us are usually adventurous and curious to try out new things, to dive into the unknown, and to find a path rather than getting lost. It's that age when we can try and fail, and try again, without being bothered too much about wasted time.

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.

It took time for me to realize that doing this at an unpopular age of 40 is actually a blessing in disguise. In fact, it's the best time to partake in a major extended travel or adventure. If you are in your 40s and are fortunate enough to get a chance to partake in a grand adventure, then I'd say go for it!

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.

There is no best age for traveling around, you do it when it is right for you and when you have the means to do it. You could start early in your twenties or you could start it when you are 40. Age is just a number really.
