Is there an ideal age to travel?

Of course not! The best age to travel is: the one you have

Traveling is for everyone, young or old, poor or rich, risky or shy, that's the beauty of the art of travel.

Travel does not know races, religions, borders, languages, ages, social classes.

Many times we put on barriers, thinking that we are old to travel, or on the contrary that we are very young and inexperienced.
But the truth is that there are people all over the planet, of all ages, enjoying the pleasures that travel brings us.

I consider that at each age the trip is lived differently.

Some people start traveling from a young age, I know an Argentine girl who is 25 years old and has been traveling alone around the world for 4 years.

As I also know those who began to do so at an advanced age, an example is the “backpacking grandma” as she calls herself on her social networks, so the best age to travel does not have a number.

Types of travelers according to their age


At twenty it is more common to see young people, sleeping in hostels, hitchhiking, staying with locals, exchanging work for accommodation and without a defined route, among many other options, they have all the energy to do it and enjoy the trip in this way.

After forty, the trip is lived differently, although many like the previous travel style and decide to adopt it for the rest of their life, some want to live the trip more authentically.

They are people who are aware of the importance of time, who know that their physical condition still endures to live real experiences and they want to take advantage before the age becomes theirs.

The mistake of postponing our dreams


What society imposes is that you study, work, have a family, retire, and in the midst of all this, some begin to travel.

Others always postpone, fill their lives with excuses: work does not give them time, they do not have enough money left, they have many family responsibilities, I will travel when I retire, first you have to educate the children.



Do you feel identified?

And who told you that you will retire? Who told you that you can wait for your children to be great and professional? And if you get a sudden illness? And if you have an accident and then you can't do it?

Take advantage of your best age to travel, the one you have now, the one that makes you dream of cities, valleys, mountains, stunning beaches!

Life is NOW friends, in the present moment, life is not bought and health is not, I know that saying it is very easy, but believe me, when you have that passion to travel everything becomes so easy, I assure you that once you do your first trip, the traveling bug will have stung you forever and you won't want to stop doing it.

On the other hand, some want to do it, but do not know how, so they go to an agency that charges them an eye, as we say in Colombia and sell them a trip that they will end up paying with luck in about five years.

There are also those who already have an economic independence, but have no one to travel with (they are single, separated or widowed, or their friends have their own families with whom to travel) and they dare not travel alone and so the years go by, wishing to know the world and just watching it on social networks, in magazines, in videos.

and speaking of social networks, I see the large number of people who write and say they are happy to see the travels of others, since they, although they would not be able to do it, with all due respect it seems to me a very limited mentality.

There are also those who write in groups or forums of travelers, saying that they are 50 or 60 years old and that they want to make their first trip, but they don't feel sure if they do it or not or who started doing it because of something shocking in their life, such as A break in your relationship.

Ignorance and Indecision

But I wonder, what is it that prevents them from doing so, how is it possible that there are so many people traveling and others just do not decide.

Today it is not so difficult; there are a thousand ways to travel well and even without spending as much money as people think.

After much meditation and seeing the experiences of my followers, acquaintances or friends, I realize that everything is nothing but ignorance and lack of decision.

Ignorance to organize a trip, to investigate and find options, to carry a budget.
Indecision to dare to do it, if you already read my ebook "how to get out of the comfort zone and travel the world", I mentioned it in detail there.

What group are you in? In the fearful and undecided or in the risky that enjoys life and lives it to the fullest.


My friends and family always ask me how do I get the flights, what page to enter, what time, how to know what hotel to book and what places to visit, etc.

People who do not have much experience in traveling, usually have that kind of doubts and many more, I just tell you do it - dare-travel-live whether you are old, have you traveled before or not, make a decision and make your dream come true

The important thing is that you respond to this, what drives you to have the desire to travel?

If the answer is that you cannot keep what you read or see on blogs, videos on YouTube and Facebook travel groups, but you want to see the world with your own eyes, I recommend you look for the best way, inside of your possibilities, to go out and know the world.

You can start at places near your residence or within your country, and then expand the horizon.

The best age to travel is: anyone
Age is not a limiting factor. More than anything, you just have to be willing to take the first step.

If others succeeded, what prevents you? Young people are traveling, old people are traveling, hundreds of people traveling alone, as a family, as a couple, of all ages.

I can only tell you that there is no ideal age to travel, some were fortunate to start early, others not so much, but they have enjoyed the trip in their way.

Dreams are not expired and logically that a traveler of 60 is not in the same physical condition as one of 30, as well as one of 30 may not have the same capacity for analysis and observation as an older one, but each one travels in his style. and its capabilities

As the phrase "travel makes me happy" and to be happy there is no age, it's that simple, just decide, live, enjoy, travel and then shout:

I am also a traveler!
I also want to enjoy every moment of travel!
I also want to travel sustainably and authentically!

I am going to think about my future trip from now on, step by step and knowing the people that I want to accompany me and letting me take to enjoy the most of every moment!


Do not wait to lose those extra kilos, do not continue saving to make the trip in 5 years, do not expect the love of your life to arrive. How about you find it traveling?

Do not expect a friend to appear to invite you to travel, if you have no one to do it with, travel alone or join a group.

Time flies, don't forget it!

Remember that you can also join a group trip and live an unforgettable experience, where in addition to not having to worry about anything in terms of trip planning; you will have the opportunity to meet wonderful people aligned with your same interests.
