@ugcbyabbiesimone: I cannot stress this enough.. if you can travel, even if it means pulling a few strings, just go. Being in your 30s, 40s, or any age.. it’s never too late. I’m halfway through my trip and it’s been life changing🥹 It’s given me perspective I didn’t know I needed, opened my eyes and made me grateful for everything I’ve experienced and everything I have. If you’re on the fence about backpacking or a long-term trip in your 30s, thinking it’s too late… it could be perfect timing.
