If you aren't spending your 20s traveling the world, you're doing it wrong.

[Rusty1991]

Lost my job a few months ago and decided to travel the world cheaply and live off my savings

I'm currently in Vietnam and rode a moped 2500 km all thru the country on my own. Just spent a month riding thru random villages, eating cheap food, staying with nice families, and just living life in the moment. Never felt so alive

I see so many miscers post sad stories about how chitty their lives are and how depressing things are. They think buying new stuff and chasing flaky sloots will change everything, it won't. If you are unhappy with life and have some money saved up,hop on that plane, land somewhere different, and just explore.

You'll be surprised at how easy it can be.

tell us more about your trust fund.

[Rusty1991]

tell us more about your trust fund.

I worked for an oil company. I can get by in Asia for less than 1k a month and eat out everyday and stay at nice places. The rest of the world is cheap as fuk compared to the west.

[cman1787]

but i have a dog and besides, travelling the world isn't some panacea

[Emidoody]

tell us more about your trust fund.

youre unaware its cheap af in se asia homeboy.

ot: how do you not get bored? thats my fear. loneliness also. I could ride my bike 2000 km here in america but its just like why? youre just riding a bike lol. travelling is like going to a bunch of outdoor museums am i wrong not trying to offend genuinely curious in how you guys dont get bored

[jeffJJ]

you just knock on a random families door and ask to sleep there?


do you know any languages?

[Verigoat]

I hate being always alone and uncertain of where I am, spending all my money instead of building anything, being a spectator in life instead of creating something. I prefer forming a routine, creating and improving and going on brief leisure holidays. The only reason I saw for travelling when young is sex, or if I had destined myself to being an employee for the remainder of my life and needed to enjoy it all right now before slavery commenced.

[MushuMiles]

i have no interest in traveling yet. dont tell me what to do

You meet people along the way to do things. It can get boring if you're a beta FA loner but being alone forces you to grow a pair and meet people. Most people are genuinely friendly and interested in you. It doesn't take much effort to meet people, if you try.

Posting from the airport in Taipei right now. Just spent the past 3 months travelling all over SE Asia (plus Norway). My buddy did a motorcycle trip all around Veitnam back in January and absolutely loved it. Wish I had travelled earlier but didn't have the funds until now.

[rotatoo]

travelling a bit is cool but doing it your way is sad and a waste of time..

[TroyLeroy]

sounds like what I just did last month but in thailand, rented a motorcycle and went around the northern mountainous region on it for a week, took a single bag of clothes and a daypack and left my larger 55l pack back in the city,
wish i did it longer because the trip was 5 weeks long and it was by far my favorite part
was a legit adventure, dropped my bike going through a hellish curve which was pretty fun

i plan on going to vietnam maybe next year, i'm also half viet so there wont be much of a language barrier

[JusDanceBrah]

There are better ways to spend your twenties than with massive debt and chronic chits.

I only speak English. A lot of people have extra beds in their place and will let you stay for very cheap. Family run guesthouses are also very easy to find.

Fair enough.

[NVious]

[Verigoat]

Fair enough.

Don't get me wrong I'd probably do it for a year if I had the random hunch. Doubt I could do it any longer than that though. I just have no strong desire to do so.

[pWally]

No pics of your adventure to share with the misc

fuking lol

[hyoogmyron]

I've traveled to ****tier places than vietnam and saw cool stuff but I don't need to spend my 20s doing it. I'm working towards a career where I can actually help people instead of driving around a 3rd world country looking at poor people for years. Loses its novelty, especially if your parents are immigrants that came from that chit.

props for traveling to an actual interesting country and not going to europe like every other tryhard *******

Savings.... Not spendings.... I'm going to have 10x as much money as you by the time I'm 22.

So what? You'll have experienced nothing but going to work. What's the point of money if you don't use your 20s for doing chit like the op suggested.

[vsvs]

where the pics at

until you end up on locked up abroad

So you can spend your 40's, 50s and 60s not being a beta ******* worrying about money while you can't afford your mortgage and you're losing your hair and getting a divorce and ending up in a poverty nursing home when you get dementia because you had no money and your kids felt bad for you.

You know how every stage of your life feels like the most important thing in the world? Like how playing with your friends was super important when you were 10 and how you thought you would have your high school life and friends forever after you graduated? Same **** for your 20s where you feel like if you don't live it up your life is going to suck forever. You know what really sucks? Being a sad middle aged man in poverty because you made stupid financial decisions in your 20s.

If you think you one day won't value security and a sense of purpose in life you're kidding yourself. You will see everyone around you with great careers making good money and sending their kids to college while you can barely afford good food. There's a reason people don't usually spend years traveling purposelessly unless their parents have a lot of money.

[Deez Nutz]

you can travel the world when youre older, both of my grandpas went to Vietnam in their 30's

What about potato?

I'd rather be a poverty middle aged man and die at 50 and have traveled to many places than to live the same boring, monotonous life of going to work everyday to make SOMEONE else rich so they can go and live their dreams.

You're 24 and you sound like you don't know how to live life. Seriously. You don't need a home that costs loads of money. You don't need that expensive car, or expensive watch, or those designer aftershaves and clothes or phone. And why can't OP get a great career, or great wife, or great kids with a big house? Just because he spent some money living life? Fuking LOL at you.

I solo traveled the US (I'm from UK) and I can tell you that I gained a **** ton of experience and matured loads because of it. I'm still on my way to making a good career, have a good gf and now saving up for my own house to buy. I know how to use money wisely and pay for what I can afford, not what others want me to afford like you seem to.

Come back when your money runs out and tell us more.

[hyoogmyron]

Youth and time are the most valuable assets you have.

The older you get the worse everything is, except the fact that you have some more green paper.

You are uglier, less intelligent, weaker, your don't experience emotions and feelings (what life is about) as strong, they are weak, almost numb. You perception of time is changed too and everything passes by faster.


Youth>>>>Anything

You claim to know what life is about.. That's the first problem with all of your logic

[nimble]

u buy the ped or rent? seems like a lot of money to buy a ped ur not gonna bring home
