I am currently 24 and as all of us here, i am eager to see the world.

But, i also have fears about what i will do when i finish travelling (which is gonna be very sad) , if i was to travel now.

The reason i say this is i am deeply considering spending the next 4/5 years in the navy. Getting personal skills, CV experience and some much needed character building. In that time I could save for my worldwide trip.

Or i could go now, whilst i am still very young.

I think if i would have gone now, I would still be very naive and might not be as brave as i might be in future years, although in future years i may infact be more reserved and take a more laid back approach.

What is the best age to travel a World Wide Trip in Your Opinion ?
The age in which you can enjoy and benefit the most in this kind of travel   :o

Thanks.

I did a 3 month round the world trip when I was 24 and loved every minute (by flying) I did another 4 month round the world trip when I was 27 and again loved it (by flying) I am now 36 and planning another trip, to take a year and go round the world without flying. My advise would be you can go at any age but go when life allows you to go, the opportunity may not come again, especially if you get a mortgage or kids!

I traveled around the world -I was 14 years old, granted I had my mother and sister with me.  My mother had a teaching sabatical from the school she taught at and with backpacks off we went.  Now that I have an 11 year old daughter, I realize that when I traveled,I traveled considerably "free", as far as security threats in the world.  Now I am unable to travel with my daughter to much of Africa or any of the Middle East. The world just is not the same place post 9/11.  Point of the story:  Travel while you can.  Get a trip to those adventurous lands that perhaps a year from now will be off-limits. The older you get you also start to change your modes of travel.  It would seem that the younger you are the more adventurous and daring you are, and the older you get the more luxury you start expecting.  Don't let your youth pass you because surely it will.  Cease the moment and go!!!

In my opinion, around 25 age is good for world wide trip. When we travel in young age, we don't have any experience or knowledge. When we enter in mature age then its the good age of world trip.

My first trip overseas was at the age of 25. It was a great experience. I was able to travel to Brazil. The earlier you begin the more opportunities you may have in the future. Don't wait. I've traveled to over 30 countries since then.

age is just a number.I am 27 and much happier than when I was 21.The best time to travel aroudn the world is when you say it is.

In my POV , anything between age 25 - 30 is good to travel a world wide trip.

tricky choice, go when you are younger and have fewer commitments or go older and just take it easy.
since i'm too old for the former i would have to go with the early retirement and living the high life

personally i would go for travelling the world if i take early retirement, one because i would like to take my time and see lots. and two because i'm too old now to go as a teenager

i don't think there is any perfect age per se to travel. i think it is all about enjoying yourself. whether it is living it up in an Ibiza club at 4am or strolling along the bournemouth front before a hot chocolate and an early night.

i think the best age to travel is whenever you want to. unless you're 19 and going to america. you may want to hang on a couple of years

There is no ideal age. Do it when you can. I started at 46 years old, have been travelling for 2 years and have no intention of stopping just yet. Go for it!!

My partner never flew as a child and is now sacred of flying, if she had flown as a child I dont think she would have this fear. So the earlier the better

Age doesn't matter in this just be prepare to travel word wide thats it.

there is no ideal age...when your mind is too messed up and wants to fly, take a trip...and then you are all ready to take it all once again!!!!:)
