Traveling in my 30s has been way different than in my 20s. Neither has been better than the other, as both were perfect for that stage in my life. But there\u2019s no denying that just about everything about my travel style has changed, from what I see, to who I hang out with, to how I spend my time.<\/p>\n

These are all of the ways in which traveling has been different in my 20s versus my 30s.<\/p>\n

My Goals Have Changed<\/h2>\n

In my 20s, my biggest goal was to go for as long as I could, for as cheaply as I could, finding as many thrills along the way as possible. I like to think of those as my dharma bum years. I was after freedom. Nothing was more intoxicating at the time. If that meant staying only in dorms, eating only street food, and opting for the 30-hour cargo ferry instead of the 3-hour flight to save a couple hundred bucks, I did it. <\/p>\n

It was an often sweaty and dirty, but blissfully adventurous way to travel. I was the classic backpacker on a shoestring, who was time-rich and cash-poor, and I wouldn\u2019t trade those experiences for the world. <\/p>\n

I Partied Way More in My 20s<\/h2>\n
