By traveldecorum | How Travelling in your 30's is Different from any other time

Travelling is nothing but rejuvenation. Of your soul, mind, body and perspective! Every stage in our life entails a different experience in terms of travel. How we see and feel travel varies drastically over time and might become more rewarding. Holidaying in your 30’s has proven to be more therapeutic and adrenaline driven than any other age group. This is the time you start feeling settled and more aware of what you want. Also your travelling companions change from random friends to friends like family or even veering towards solo.

What changes in your 30’s?

You are funding your own trip

When you are travelling in your 30’s, it is a given that you are funding your own trip. It is the most important premise that changes the feeling towards travel. Own funding gives you independence and freedom to make your own choices. You can plan your trip keeping in mind your interests and habits. The number of days you want to stay, the car hire and almost all aspects can be customized for your satiation. This inculcates a feeling of responsibility within an individual.

You are almost in a settled zone in terms of career and family

In your 30’s, your family choice and career preferences are relatively clear and certain. This means it is easier to plan a vacation in advance knowing that life is less uncertain and more meticulous than before. Also your travel buddies are now lesser and closer to you, they look forward to their annual vacation as much as you. This makes for an interesting setting for a holiday. You suddenly plan in advance for vacations that were spontaneous before.

You are clear of where you want to go

Your adrenaline is high but more stable. You will be more willing to try out newer things, more adventurous things yet safety will be your priority. The list of cities is shorter but they are more your type and your payoff from each destination is higher. Your 30’s is a great time to travel and explore the world. Clarity in thought brings a certain sense of peace and comfort at the same time.

You are more confident

You have to agree that you are more confident in your 30’s than you were in your 20’s. You are more aware and have explored enough to know the small and the big things about travelling. You can travel to faraway countries with ease. Basically the world is at your feet. Confidence is key to travelling with ease and enjoying fully.

You love to travel solo

You now don’t unnecessarily need people to travel with! You enjoy your own company and love the concept of travel more. Solo travelling becomes one of the more convenient options when you are in this age group. Planning with friends and families with different schedules seems slightly tougher than before. Enjoying solo time in a new city is as exciting as it seems in thought. It becomes the perfect time to rejuvenate and unwind your thoughts.

You can afford better

Being settled also entails more affordability! In your 30’s you can book a better hotel of choice, get a superior car for travel and also travel with better transport means. Your choices widen and travel becomes more luxurious as compared to before. The change in budget and spending maybe small or large, what matters is the growth and change.

Your vacation take away is more

Your holiday means more to you at a psychological level than before. It is not just a holiday; it is some time off for yourself, for your family and for your life. You learn a lot more about the city, its culture, the vibe and the people. Life gets more hectic as we grow old and travelling is that much needed break that we need to again return to routine. You grow as a person and introspection becomes key. Your vacation holds a much higher pedestal than before.

Your mind is not only on partying

Holidays in your teens and 20’s, a holiday means only partying ferociously and living it up in the night. Now your mind is more open to other things that can be done during the day. The museums, art, culture, architecture and local cafes interest you more than the nightclubs. You want to explore out of choice. The itinerary of a 30 year old versus a 20 something changes by great measure. Every travel opportunity becomes a life experience.

You pack on point

Packing luggage doesn’t frazzle any 30 year old. It becomes more sorted and clearer than before. You would exactly know how much to pack, what to pack and when to go. If you are an avid traveller, you may also have a set suitcase and set of things set for each trip even before the plan. Packing becomes secondary as compared to the whole process of seeing something new.

You do your own thing

Life is about you! There is minimal peer pressure and if you have a partner, you have travelled together before. So travelling is your time and you do not succumb to any have-to’s and set rules. Isn’t that a lot simpler?

It is extremely important to experience this difference in person. It is amazing to note how your life experiences change the way you perceive travel. So choose a fabulous destination and get going my friend!
