Travel when you are young.
"Travel when you are still young.'' Trudy, a lady from Amsterdam said so when we met at a backpacker hotel in Special Region of Jogjakarta. She was traveling by herself for seven months in Asia and Indonesia was the fifth country that she visited. I amazed with her spirit to solo travel. Despite her age (I think she is in her sixties), not all people are willing to solo travel.
We had an interesting conversation while enjoying the sunset from the rooftop of our hotel, Wake Up Hotel. Dessy, a friend of mine and a crazy traveler too, involved in the cozy conversation. We discussed some beautiful places to visit in Indonesia and the reason why traveling at the young age is suggested especially backpacking.
First, the long trip required a healthy and fit condition that is identical to young people. Younger rarely get back pain because of walking along the street for a whole day and bringing the belonging. For example, a heavy backpack. If they do, the recovery won't take longer than the older. I am getting older now, sometimes I got a pain in my back while backpacking. =D
Second, young people have more passion for discovering a new and remote travel destination. Their adventurous soul is calling them out. Younger will not hesitate to explore their self with nature. Well, not all young people are comfortable with this option. It depends on one's personality too. There are young people who love to travel and explore a non-tourist area and others are love to go to the Instagramable tourist area.
Third, travel at a young age allows young people to explore many places. Why? Because they have more time to add and visit places on their bucket list. I am considering myself as a young people too (I still look young, trust me.. ha ha ha). And I am adding new places and countries on my bucket list.
In my opinion, people who travel at a young age will be trained to handle their own responsibility and problem. Based on my experiences, something unplanned could happen during traveling. It could be something wrong with the accommodation, weather, person in the group travel, or anything else. I face this situation when I am traveling and need making a quick decision to set everything back on track. Through this situation, I get used to handling and finding a solution for my problems.
So, these are the benefits from travel at a young age in my version. To all the readers that agree with me, then we are in the same boat. If there are readers that disagree with my explanation above, you guys need to travel more! ;) :)
Anyway, I am a kind of person who likes solo travel or a small group travel. Well, nothing is wrong with the group travel. I just feel more adventurous when I travel by myself.
For young people out there or people with the young spirit, happy traveling!!
