You're assuming that everyone who travels when they're older wish they'd done it when they were younger. When this is obviously not the case in many instances. I didn't do the whole backpacking straight out of college thing myself, but I do make a point of traveling as much as I can and don't have any regrets to not doing it when I was younger.

Something I'd never experience if I'd wait till the kids are grown up. Getting travelling out of the way when young and single is a great prelude to settling down.

Duck's hoop wrote: » Thanks for sorting that out for me. But just for further clarification, by 'place' do you mean town, region, country or continent? Does travel within the same country elevate a mundane holiday to the cooler 'travelling' status? Then there's the unavoidable fact that you need to travel to get anywhere. And back. I think 'travelling' is done by wooden bangle and bead wearing, flip flopping, cool people with backpacks. Others go on holidays.

We're now 28 and are expecting our third (and hopefully last! ) child next year. We hope to get them through college and then get an awful lot of stamps in our passports in our 50s, hopefully more comfortably than we would have managed it a few years ago.

I'm a recent graduate but I don't even wanna use my degree. Would rather go teach for a year or two in South Korea and see what happens from there.
