30 is old to be backpacking? Really?
I have read some people suggesting this or at least that most backpackers will tend to be younger, and quite honestly this is so weird to me. I'm 31 right now and I didn't even START my solo traveling hobby until a couple years ago. Before that, I didn't have the money to pay for these trips and I was definitely not mature enough until my mid 20s or so. I feel like this is a perfect time to be doing this sort of thing. I really wonder why people feel this is something that you ought to be doing when you are younger. Is it just another part of our cultural tendency to designate everything fun and worthwhile to people in their teens and 20s?
Oh and I also don't understand people who say that the hostel dorm thing is for younger kids and that if you're 30 you should get your own room. Uhhhh no, I definitely prefer to be in a hostel dorm where I can hang out with other travelers. Young people who find it weird to be rooming with a 30 year old are stupid and we should stop encouraging their stupidity.
I feel like society with its norms and expectations always manages to take the fun out of everything.
