My parents were always of the mind that it's best to do everything when you're young, so I went on a ton of vacations as a kid, but I can't remember much about them, which is kind of sad. I'll probably have to revisit all of those places in my twenties. I’ve thought about this for a few days, and I do agree with you that it’s best to travel when one is 20-something.

That must have been one hell of a trip and some excellent planning! I see hanging out with friends to be the same, now that I think about it. I believe it is the memories you have and not the stuff coz you can't really take everything withyou but... memories and photos on the other hand.. ^_^ Oh wow.

I mean, I guess going with your mom isn't the most fun traveling can be, but I always figured that I don't know if I'll get to travel in the future so I might as well take any opportunity I can when it comes. If I don't travel later in life..well I've already done some with my mom. If I do get the chance then that'll just mean I get to go there again :D It would be very fun to delay school for travel, but I think my schooling will take forever (hoping I'll get outta school before I'm 28-30).

Here in Argentina, it costs 'an eye of the face'. I’m glad you consider air travelling relatively cheap.

Unfortunately, this year we (naty and I ) wont be able to go abroad (well, other than Mexico which really doesn't count to me lol) Because my dad gets really anxious when we do go (He cried when he went to go pick us up at LAX after we got back from Spain and told us we had to take a break) and we want to calm him a bit until we go on the next trip, next year.

It's not always easy to plan it with work etc but I seem to manage OK. Last year I went to the UK and Czech Republic and this year I'd like to go places too although I'm not sure where just yet.

Discounts, foreign exchanges, semesters abroad, student loans and grants... it's all about knowing where to look. I'm 21 and my ultimate dream is to travel Europe -- especially Italy and Portugal. Unfortunately, there was no semester abroad program in my university for either countries; had their been an opportunity, I would have ran away with it no doubt.

It really seems like you're living the life! I'd love to go see the world! And you're right, twenties does seem to be the perfect time to do that, but unfortunately I can't :-( I haven't had a year off since nursery when I was 3, and looks like I'll be going straight to med school after college, straight to internship and residency, straight to motherhood etc. Guess I'll just have to squeeze it in from time to time instead of going for a whole year like your friend. Though if I could do what he did I totally would! And who needs trinkets and souvenirs? The thousands (if it were me it would be hundreds of thousands) of photos that you take during your journeys are more than enough to serve as evidence besides your memories :-) All I can say to you and your friends is wow.
