i know a guy hes got to be in his 60s hes travelled alone for 30 years all over the world.
Hes super eccentric
>excuses
pathetic
Pathetic. You should have enough money to stay in a proper hotel anyway, and if you're that bothered about being alone then dress up like a businessman, kek
lemme guess you think hostel dorm beds are still $20/night right? lol
This post is more pathetic than any of the supposed perceptions.
The hostel is fine. Just get a private room. And if you hang out in the social space it's fine and you can be friends and have a few drinks with younger people. If you go to party hostels, yeah, that's weird. If you're single and 30 something, embrace how you can do whatever you want, go climb mountains, ride around on a motorcycle, anything you want.
>How do you live with the regret of not traveling in your 20s when you were young?
Oh but I did, and in my thirties, forties and now fifties.
>>too old to stay at hostels
Didn't stop me. See

out like a sore thumb going solo since you're expected to have a wife or kids
Oh well.
>>most solo travelers are younger and you're out of touch with them
Darn.

wot
t. introvert
>too old to stay at hostels
1. I've seen people older than 30 staying in hostels.
2. If you're in your 30s, chances are you can afford a real hotel.
3. Hostels are overrated.
>stick out like a sore thumb going solo since you're expected to have a wife or kids
1. Lots of 30-somethings travel solo for work or business.
2. No one strongly gives a shit, if at all.
3. People can be age-blind, and some people are blessed. I know a 17-year old who was mistaken for 35+, a 25-year old who was mistaken for 40+, and a 34-year old who was mistaken for <25.
>most solo travelers are younger and you're out of touch with them
1. You don't have to hang out with them.
2. You can catch up on their culture.
3. It's not unusual for people a decade younger than you to know/like the same things as you do.
>takes longer to recover from jet lag, etc.
1. Cope. I don't even mean that in an insulting way, you can easily cope with jet lag.
2. Caffeine.
3. Take flights that arrive at night. You're gonna be sleeping anyway.
>cope
It’s not cope. Your recovery time and stamina declines drastically regardless of how well you take care of yourself. There’s a reason why the military has age caps and pro athletes retire in their mid thirties
>the military has age caps and pro athletes retire in their mid thirties
Good thing you're not a soldier or athlete. You're just sitting in an airplane and walking more than usual.
There’s a difference between sitting on an airplane for 2 hours and 10 across multiple time zones. Stop posting until you leave your mothers basement
Cope.
The only one coping is you. The only thing more pathetic than being a huge loser in your 30s trying to act like a 20 year old is trying to defend it on a anonymous imageboard meant for younger people lmao get your shit together bro
Don't preach to me about maturity when you're the one slinging ad hominems.
never said you weren't mature. Said you were pathetic
Thanks, that means a lot coming from a stranger I don't know or respect.
I turn 40 this year and still travel. You're a moron.
solo? congrats you're a cringe loser
>needs her hand held while travelling
You can do it alone babygirl. I believe in you
Some solo, some with friends. But honestly who cares if you think it's cringe. I enjoy myself.
>anonymous imageboard meant for younger people
no, it's not.
>anonymous imageboard meant for younger people
Ever wonder why this SighSee has remained the same basic beta format for 20 years? This is our board zoomer. Now get those young lips with your try hard fluff moustache around my dick. I want you to stop every three suck and call me daddy
Lmao Pablo morono lmao. 30s are still good to coom. Zoom-zooms are clueless about age
coom in what? women that age a looking for betabuxx, and younger women are only into young tiktok eboys
>There’s a difference between sitting on an airplane for 2 hours and 10 across multiple time zones
And the worst of those differences can be mitigated with some basic planning like getting up and walking around a bit and doing some basic stretching every few hours.
Dude just have a good night sleep.
stop being such a b***h lmfao
>most solo travelers are younger and you're out of touch with them
Why the hell would any 30 year old want to be "in touch" with the 20 year olds...30+ is when you do celebratory loner laps around life
because I want to have sex with them to make up for the missed milestones that were supposed to happen in my youth
There are plenty of loose young women with daddy issues that want to frick older dudes. You don't need to be 20 to frick a 20 year old. Of course if your an ugly fat balding loser then you wont get any, but your age won't be the reason why
>oooh I’m too OLD to stay at a hostel
>well no, there’s no age limit but people look at you funny!
Kys
you talk like a gay and your shit's all moronic
kys
>>too old to stay at hostels
Oh no, you actually have the disposable income to do more than poverty travel!
out like a sore thumb going solo since you're expected to have a wife or kids
Who gives a frick?
>>most solo travelers are younger and you're out of touch with them
See above
longer to recover from jet lag, etc.
Lol, no
>all the old gays seething and coping
you old gays should be with your family instead of crying on SighSee. cope with your genetic failure with consuming muh travelism.
holy shit kys
This is the stupidest shit I've read all week and I spend half my fricking day on SighSee.
If those are seriously the reasons that would prevent you from travelling then just stay in your musty bachelor suite and rot until you fricking die. The rest of the world doesn't need a pathetic shotsack like you polluting it with his presence.
>too old to stay at hostels
I'm in my 30s and used a hostel for the first time this year. I plan on using them in my 40s, 50s and 60s.
homie you're literally just flying from one island to another.
>>too old to stay at hostels
here's your (You)
i see 50-80 year olds stay in hostels all the fricking time.
Jan~Mar hostels turn into retirement homes because its hiking season.
kys homosexual, stay in your shit hometown pls
I'm 25 and recently stayed in a hostel and made friends with a 55 years old dude who was a cyclist.
Just don't be a loser, have a hobby and clear reason to be here, not just "I'm finding myself at above 30 teehee", that's fricking weird.
Photography, drawing landscapes, religion, sports, you just need to not be a confused directionless idiot.
Pic-related was travelling to some of the most remote and dangerous parts of the World well into his 50s. If he can do that, you can do touristy things in your 30s.
You should work on boosting your confidence and eating better/exercising more.
Another way to think of it is: Do the places you want to go have 50 year olds living in them. Yes? Then 50 year olds can be there.
>too old to stay at hostels
You're not
>stick out like a sore thumb going solo since you're expected to have a wife or kids
You don't
>most solo travelers are younger and you're out of touch with them
Who cares + just be yourself moron
>takes longer to recover from jet lag, etc.
That's a symptom of being un/fit/, not being 30.
Stop caring what people think and enjoy your life you moronic double Black person.
I traveled with a dude in his early 30s and he hung out with the 20 somethings just fine. He was pretty charismatic and he found a girl around his age in the hostel that he flirted with but i don't think they slept together
im 34, and not once did i ever think i was too old for hostels... i have seen people in late 30's... i banged a couple of 18-21 year olds in hostels all last month . they thought i was 27.
pic related.
just say youre bald and ugly instead...
and i have been traveling alone all my life. no wife no kids. i feel so fortunate not to be tied down to any of that
based. I hope they were all white girls who took your big latino wiener
Aww, youre missing out on most basic purpose of having a kid.
Find her and get it done.
kys
you are a homosexual if you believe any of this. most solo travelers are in their 30s. people in their 20s almost never have disposable income
he has a point, you can do all those things but its harder socially when you lose your ~~*youth*~~ stat boost
most pathetic post ive ever read on this shithole
fpbp
>too old to stay at hostels
who gives a frick, that's a good thing
>stick out like a sore thumb going solo since you're expected to have a wife or kids
not true unless you injected testosterone like a moron
>most solo travelers are younger and you're out of touch with them
What the frick are you talking about, what part of solo travel do you not understand?
>takes longer to recover from jet lag, etc.
lol? literal excuse
Nased
Or your 40s or 50s. It's never too late
I was a poor fricking student with no money in my 20s and I got no support from my parent. Travelling was out of my reach.
Now that I’m in my 30s I have enough disposable income to travel by myself. I have no regrets as my reasons for not travelling where outside of my control
Oldgay here. It's not so bad. I always feel daft when hanging out with 20 somethings though. Occasionally find myself in a heavily zoomer occupied space and feel the need to get out asap. I lie about my age as I look way younger but it doesn't matter really. It's how you feel inside.
Holy cope. It's not how you feel, it's your damn body. In my 20s I coomed all over SEA and had the energy to chase every single puss that crossed my way. That drive, which also includes wanderlust, diminishes with time. If you didn't experience it, I'm so sorry for you son, you can't fake it later
>son
Lol, calls an "old gay" "son".
>doommaxxers and bad agents
>overly postive redditors
These are the same people, they just accept you for the moment, just wait for the next flag campaign and find out.
oh wow, another doomer thread.
It's okay to stay in a hostel when you're over 30.
It's okay to eat in restaurants alone.
It's not okay to marry a Filipino woman. You deserve better than that.
is it ok to date them tho??
Kore ha but unironically
>It's not okay to marry a Filipino woman. You deserve better than that
Why not? what's wrong with them?
What’s the alternative, rot away your remaining vitality in your shithole? Unless you squandered your 20s and have zero money then it is definitely not a waste, in your 30s you have more freedom if you aren’t tied to wife and kids. In your 20s it’s more of a pain because your parents still nag you, friends and social circle is probably not settled down, etc
I squandered my 20s and have no money. My mother is dead, my father is rapidly aging, I have no qualifications. I have never had a job. I will most likely become homeless when my father passes. I'm 35.
Change or die the fate you accepted.
It's all about structure. You took a risk of sacrificing your youth for stability . Now with that stability you should learn to buy time, which is financial freedom ( Work from home or anywhere) get the 20 year old you want, craft your physique and health. It's sounds like a lot of work , more like a lot of detail and you figure out what structure works for you
By realizing that the heavy studying in my 17-22 year old self gave me a remote, well paying job, that allows me to digital nomad in countries and places I never dreamed of seeing.
>How do you live with the regret of not traveling in your 20s when you were young?
But I did.
It's a lot more fun now that I'm in my 30s though.
I was too broke and introverted in my 20s, didn't like traveling anywhere.
Did my first trip to Japan in my 30s, it was pretty good so many memories in 2 weeks.
It makes you appreciate the positive aspects you took for-granted and didn't know your country had, and understand what your country lacks compared to others.
what were some of your best memories of Japan anon? I'm in my 30s now and I'm thinking about travelling there for the first time either this year or next.
Best memories were not even on my itenary, just random interactions and things I discovered along the way.
The itenary was more of a guideline.
Chatting with random locals was pretty fun, I knew a few words and phrases in Japanese and some trivia which took me surprisingly far in conversations.
Funniest moment was when I smug and boasting to a bunch of local kids who were puzzled and needed some guidance on how to use the ticket machine for a batting cage when the staff seemed busy.
Previously I bought a pitching ticket (not batting one) which only used 100 yen coins, so I converted 3000 yen worth of notes into 100 yen coins to buy the 3200 yen ticket which gives you the largest number of rounds.
I was inserting the coins one at a time and one of the kids started commenting in Japanese "Does it really take this long?". I was joking with them that it was tiring and one of you should help me out.
When I reached the last 100 yen coin the machine reached its limit and started dropping the coins. The kids tried to help me out by trying their coins then one of the staff members finally arrived and said "Chigau!" (wrong).
He then inserted three 1000 yen notes into the machine and everyone started laughing including myself.
Another one was at the hotel.
I wanted to try the bath bombs which you had to buy at the front desk, there were two girls there at the time.
I didn't know which one to pick so pointed at the basket and asked them "uhh Osusume wa nan tbh ka?", the woman there seemed a little nervous and started chatting with the other front desk lady which one to pick because she doesn't know.
After I bought one recommended she looked at me then looked at the other lady and said "osusume hehhhhh" seemed a bit out of place looked at her a little puzzled but didn't give it much mind then realized after taking a few steps that what I just did unknowingly was probably the equivalent of hitting on them.
thanks for sharing anon. How much Japanese would you say you need to know to have fun talking to locals?
Not sure of the exact level man, I've watched anime in Japanese for a long time and out of curiosity like to lookup history related content on youtube even some Japanese movies and youtube videos discussing aspects of their culture in their native tongue.
Try to learn phrases and words you will use a lot, you don't have to be perfectly correct like a lot of the people that will reply to me correcting every minor mistake, just know enough to get by
>Osusume wa nan deska? (what do you recommend?)
>X doko? (X where)
>Eki (train station)
>tsugi (next)
>Mamonaku (shortly arriving)
>Hidari (left)
>Migi (right)
>Kurume (vehicle/bus)
>Mizu(water)
>Gochisosamadeshta (thanks for the meal)
>arigato (thank you)
>Semimasen (excuse me)
>shitsure shimasu (leaving) (from observation they use it when trying to cut through crowds and not appear impolite)
>Gome (sorry)
>nihongo wa nigate tbh (I am bad at Japanese) (helps them understand that you don't speak Japanese well before initiating conversation, don't say "nihong nigatte" like I first did you will get funny faces it means Japanese are bad)
>kotoba (words)
>X nani? (what is X?)
That helped me a bit even though I never spoke in Japanese before. I was able to pickup on a large portion of their conversations surprisingly but speaking was more difficult until you repeated certain phrases enough.
There was also this channel I bumped into on here
>https://www.youtube.com/@organicjapanesewithcuredol49
which helped me understand the grammar at a basic level but speaking on the spot is difficult no matter what.
One local at an izakaya told me you should learn how to be polite with good etiquette first and foremost then understand the language second here.
I was fairly polite, people were sitting next to me on trains and didn't move away which was a good sign.
Get off for elderly they would really appreciate it, small gestures of kindness and not cutting people off nodding before you go through seemed to work well. You just have to copy what they do for the most part.
When conversing especially if people appear to be more reserved do not dig too deep into their lives. They don't set boundaries and don't drop many hints when irritated until the very end.
I experienced this at one bar, thought I was having a good chat with the bar master then after I payed and was about to leave he gestured by raising both his hands like a pushing motion and grimaced a bit basically telling me to frick off.
I think it was when it was a fairly empty and was being a bit sentimental when drunk asking if it gets lonely in here.
>just be a mindless drone like us
never
Come here phagget. Your biggest asset isn't money, it's AGE
to be fair i regret everything i did in my 20s
Look at bald and bankrupt. He is living his best life in his fricking 40s. Lets go. Stop feeling sorry for yourself.
I was largely out of control and a moron if I did travel in my 20s I wouldn't have appreciated. I know this because I did a solo trip to indonesia at 20 and spent most of it hating everything and getting wasted and chasing girls. Now im 32 and ready to begin travelling again and see the beauty in the world, eat good food and not self destruct in the company of strangers. You think like a woman OP you should get off the internet and go camping or something and realize everything you are worrying about is not an issue.
cringe
he's a disgusting pedo

having sex with women over 18 isn't paedophilia roastie
>How do you live with the regret of not traveling in your 20s when you were young?
I know these threads are foul and useless, but regret is even more worthless. The only good thing that can ever come out of regret is motivation to do something else, or to avoid repeating past mistakes. Either of these can, in my experience, alleviate a lot of negative, regretful feelings. Just sitting around being sad about the past does nothing but waste the present.
So if I were regretting not traveling in my twenties (I’m not, because I did travel some in my twenties; it had pros and cons), I would try to travel now, whenever “now” happened to be, if I still wanted to.
If the idea of traveling had lost all appeal (which is a sad idea, but also an incomprehensible one to me, as some of my favorite trips were in my thirties, and I’m still traveling in my 40s, and could yet find the best is still ahead for all I know), I would focus my time, energy, and thoughts on finding other things to do and doing them instead. And if this seemed impossible I would get some fricking therapy for what sounds pretty obviously like depression.
Like all humans who’ve survived as long as I have, I have various regrets in life. But I feel better when I’m not sitting around thinking about them.
I dont. Because I did. Lawl get rekt.
I could barely afford rent in my 20s lmao who the frick can afford to travel the world right out of college
most white women. My sister told me "I should travel more", I still seethe about it to this day. b***h you should work more. Fricking c**t.
>Bitch
>Fricking c**t
Mom divorced dad?
holy shit how did you know? She cheated as well and took the flat
>How do you live with the regret of not traveling in your 20s when you were young?
What do you mean anon? I left the UK a few days after my 20th birthday in 2000 and have never lived in the UK since. Worked in 16 countries so far.
Can't relate.
Doing what exactly?
i like to listen to professor's bullshit in my 20's
it's bullshit life
You should Just end your gay little life OP you're obviously not interested in improving it and all you care about is how others perceive you. It sounds miserable
>You should Just end your hetero little life OP
ftfy gay people actually travel
OP is right.
Traveling, friends, parties, social experiences, sexual experiences with women my age, all the things a normal, developing brain needs. I wasted all 4 years of high school and college hiding from everyone on my computer, now my chances are gone. People my age are getting married, I have no outlets to even meet women or make friends. My life is over, I wasted it. Every day is the same, I work, come home and rot. I wasted my life.
Shitttttt, this takes me back. I remember that style of thong they're wearing was very popular when I was in college in 2010 - 2012. College sex was fricking awesome, the girls were so horny all the time.
T. Oldgay
I'm the same age as you anon. I fricked dozens of girls at college, and now they're all getting married to nice guys. Feels very strange seeing them on social media all proud of their starter homes and very polite fiancé..after knowing I creampied them many many times. Makes me not want to marry my own gf...
>I've tried nothing and I'm all out of ideas!
I HATE CHAD WAAAAAAAAAHHH
It's actually quite insane how there's constant incessant demoralization on EVERY single board on this site for quite a while now.
"Don't travel it's over" on SighSee
"Don't lift it's over" on SighSee
"Don't invest it's over" on SighSee
"Don't read books it's over" on SighSee etc
All day every day, not to mention that only demoralization threads get traffic while other threads die off fairly quickly
Yeah I'm finding myself on here less and less as the months go by. The doomposting and whining that takes place on this website as a whole is pathetic. It was NEVER this bad, now every fricking loser treats every board like it's /LULZ/.
>friend introduces me to SighSee in 2006
>we talk about it a bit and laugh about memes
>he stops going on SighSee soon after
>i stay on it because i was a loser with no life
i shouldve left then
I like Hungarian horse breeding forum because it’s blackpilled enough to deter normoids away but in recent months it’s felt more like deliberate effort rather than just someone posting grievances or whatnot
I think all the interesting people have left SighSee. We were supposed to grow out of it.
the cooming subs on Reddit have better and more interesting/funny posters these days, any general in the catalog is just filled with doommaxxers and bad agents. Board has outlived its usefulness, used to be one of few places where you can find information that was not populated by malding boomers or overly postive redditors but seems like its not the case anymore
Any you can recommend ?
I refuse to have my speech policed by seething brownoids, so I don't spend much time on SighSee with its garbage moderation anymore. There are many better places.
SighSee especially trv is reddit-tier with overmoderation at this point. The mods think the site is about them and have forgotten the site is for the users.
It's because the mods are trannies, that's all you have to know
troonyjannies are legitimately ruining the board. I don't think the current mods even travelled at all. If you have the time to be in a discord 24/7 is because you are a fricking incel loser who never left the house. That arrangement can work for other boards but not SighSee
>Inb4 deleted.lmao
You're here forever dear zoom-zoom
This but unironically. Go for it phaggets. Fricking gatekeepers need to die
The quality of the entire site has decreased thanks to demoralized /misc/tards spilling out from their containment board. The only boards I frequent that don't have this issue are /k/ and SighSee. I think the former is largely protected because /k/ hates /misc/ and always lets them know that they are despised. I think SighSee just largely flies under their radar. With those two exceptions, every other board with a decent amount of traffic is full of /misc/tards spewing demoralization BS.
The entire site would improve if Hiroyuki nuked just nuked /misc/.
>I think the former is largely protected because /k/ hates /misc/
Just because you utter fantasy sentences doesnt make them true lol
Go on /k/ right now and post some /misc/tard schizoid-babble. See how long you last before someone calls you a homosexual and tells you to go back to where you came from.
Cool but why do you have to post about /misc/ in every single thread on this board? See:
https://archive.4plebs.org/trv/search/text/%2Fpol%2F%20virgin/page/1/
How about you just shut the frick up and stop bringing it up? It lives rent free in your head, and every single one of those posts is 100% you my dude.
then go travel
Mid 20s here.
I booked a flight to Thailand in less than a month. Think I'll cancel it though. It's too soon, not had injections ect. FRICK why did I do this?
I'm definitely going to go though.
Anyone who has money to travel a lot in their 20s is
>1. supported exclusively by mommy and daddy
>2. rich off the lottery/crypto boom (same thing)
>3. works a fully remote codemonkey job or one with extensive PTO (getting rarer by the day, especially fully remote)
>4. works a job that inherently can require a lot of travel (military, certain types of labor jobs, ship/airline)
that's it. not to mention 95% of these people are completely single with no family, because it's very difficult to maintain a relationship or community when traveling. don't feel bad for not traveling in your 20s, especially internationally. now, cheap domestic trips are definitely possible if you game it out correctly with discounts.
>t. 26 year old american in a relationship who makes time to travel twice a year on a limited income
Lmaoing at ur life.
>t. a leteral third worlder who travelled an coomed all over the world with no money.
You just dont have the DRIVE. You are barely a man gringordo kun. Look into TRT lmao
this is big time cope. in the USA most jobs won't give you more than 14 days off a year, even that's a stretch. is that time for 1-2 decent trips? yes. is that time to backpack asia for 9 months? no, and you won't have a job when you come back
>b-but I'll just work at a coffee shop!
have fun being 32 and making $12.50 an hour living with mommy, looking forward to the next LE EPIC ADVENTURE in pattaya
have fun wasting your life wageslaving and b***hing on SighSee dot org instead of living it i guess.
>being financially stable past age 25, being able to buy a house, and being 20x more attractive to women is "not living"
big, big coping. keep working that barista job and thinking back to THAT EPIC TIME I DID SHROOMS IN PATTAYA
LMAO at being a wageslaving taxcuck who is only permitted a few paltry days of freedom in a year.
>$12.50 an hour living with mommy
What a fool. Geomaxxing works for work as well as it does for leisure. A geomaxxing solo laborer can easily save 60-90% of his paycheck, then head overseas to spend the rest in the country of your choice.
If you hate israeliteflation, don't travel to countries run by israelites. Simple as.
Oldgays always ruin the hostel vibe, especially if they are trying to "be themselves" and creep on the young girls. Maybe in a party hostel though, everyone is drunk enough not to give a frick about age. I haven't stayed in a true party hostel yet.
>in a relationship
Of course you aren't gonna have money to travel in your 20s if you have to meet female expectations at every turn.
I got my first seasonal job in 2015, saved $5000 in 6 months while making $8/hour and living in an employee dorm. Could've easily spent the next six months overseas and returned for six months of work the next year.
Easiest thing in the world, in fact.
have sex.
My peers who have actual good paying jobs travel frequently, they tell funny stories etc. I envy them. Can't wait to find a decent job.
I was traveling to Europe a couple of time when I was a teenager. It was a good time: Germany, Malta, Poland, Serbia. Historical places, partying, new friends, girls. I miss those times. Actually this summer I was watching Kurt Kaz or whatever his name was, I started reminiscing those times and it made me really motivated. Still can't find an IT job, the competition is fierce. I have a degree in IT, but I'm just an average I guess, idk.
Guys, if you haven't traveled at all, I tell you, go travel, it is worth it. And I suggest Malta, basically a fricking partying island. But it all depends on you actually.
You can start a career on your 30s (the Israelis do) you can't be 20 again.
I still can't fricking travel without money
Heavens no.
All you need is a strong arm.
How about my 20s being stolen by covid and now everything is 2x as expensive?
Covid restrictions began and ended in a 2 year period, not 10. Anyone who uses money as an excuse is just lazy.
and now everything is 2x as expensive related to travel. Two years of near zero travel is also 20% of my 20s.
30s are still ok if you have a minimum of social skills. After 40 is too late
Why? They don't allow 40+ years olds in airports?
I could barely afford a fricking taxi in my 20s.
I realized that leisure travel is pretty much moronic almost immediately when I turned 30. I still enjoy it, but caring about it feels like caring about eating candy or whatever other trivial shit. It is literally pointless leisure. Then that year I discovered that traveling in my own state was more fun that traveling in other states in my country, and traveling in my own country was more fun than traveling abroad. Nowadays, I go on 1 or 2 trips every few years but I don’t really care about that much.
Now, living abroad for a year or two. That might be more interesting. In interesting in spending a year in Japan. I think I could see what the hype is about and learn a bit about myself that way. But that involves some struggle. It’s the struggle that delivers learning and that is what fun.
>How do you live with the regret of not traveling in your 20s when you were young?
By traveling in my 30s so I don't live with regret in my 40s.
Can't relate. Skipped uni, currently travelling in my 20s and will rope before 30. Tbh this is probably the optimal lifemaxxing strat. Imagine wasting time with education and then climbing a corporate ladder only to have money by the time your a boomer (30+)
I spent my post-college 20s being depressed and trying to get my career off the ground. If I had traveled it wouldn’t have been much fun and I would have had to go into debt. Now in my 30s I’m not depressed and make good money. Don’t really regret anything.

Two months in SEA and it radically changed my life. Me and a girl I met in Bangkok had a private tour after closing at the top of Angkor Wat, sunset.
Pshh....f'sorry for yall.
I travel now in my 40s since I have money.
this op
I had no money until my late 20s
its easier once you are established financially
I did Eurorail for 2 months when I was 19. Everything was so new it was like I discovered a strange new land. You can't get that feeling back after filling 3 passports with stamps. But traveling for the first time when you're older, I suspect that you'll feel the same way. Probably won't be hanging out with the teen girls getting drunk with them in Paris, tho.
You can be sad about anything lol. Literally billions of people in the history didnt even get to travel before you were born, and they were happy. Stop demoralizing everyone.
I am 36. I frick 18-20 years olds while traveling, no problem.
I can confirm. I fricked more 20 somethings in my 30s than I did in my 20s. 30s is prime time for men, even 40s if you stay in shape.
im bald sadly so i think i wont be able to even tho i am fit
The best time to plant tree is 20 years ago.
The second best time today.
I did, but also I have travelled in my early 30s. Isn't the idea of travel that you get to experience things that you can't at home? Would that stop being the case because you went from 29 to 30?
by realising that I am not a woman, so I have to study and work if I want to get the money to travel. Most people don't have the privilege travel OP, it's a very expensive hobby.
only young white women have the disposable income to travel in their 20s. Men have to work to keep society from collapsing
I feel like people who don't travel think that when they do so they will make a group of great friends and get to frick a 10/10 model who they will marry later. The locals will love them and hook them up with drugs and their daughters. None of that shit is happening when you're 20 either. You're either some attractive normie or you're not - being abroad doesn't make a difference. In that way, if you're too autistic to have the aforementioned "holiday experience" (which isn't real anyway) in your 30s, what makes you think it'll happen when you're 20? Just travel.
Travelling in 20s is a bit better when it comes to how well your body/mind can handle travel itself.
I mostly mean 3rd world countries tier food, accomodation, ect.
Im in my 30s and i wouldnt do some trips now that I did back when I was in 20s, just for the sake of my comfort, especialy my stomach.
All other stuff which you mentioned are correct tho.
The world I wish to have experienced ended on September 11, 2001. That being said, it's completely outside of my control and therefore does not affect me.
