I'm 29 years old. From the UK. Please read my full post rather than just the title before commenting please. Thanks in advance!
People often recommend travelling to young people to learn about themself or to do it whilst young and in good health - often hearing "travel while young and in good shape" or "travel before you have kids". I think I know myself very well and my goals and what I want in life.
I also prioritise my health so I'd imagine as I get older I'll still be in great shape to travel too.
Lastly I'm single so I can't imagine I'll have kids anytime soon.
So I think to myself... what would I actually get out of travelling? Especially as it can be financially very expensive.
Obviously if I were going somewhere truly magical, ie a once in a lifetime destination, then that's different.
I don't know if BC meets that description?
I'll be there visiting a friend so I'd have free accommodation.
I'll be going in the summer.
For those that have been, how special was it? I prioritise my health and fitness so like to travel to places where I can continue to be healthy and ideally even improve and optimise it further.
I'm fortunate to have done a lot of travelling previously so not sure if the trip will add much to my life or develop me etc or just be an expensive trip that'll distract me from my financial goals?
