Vacation

A Vacation is an adventure that one survives well in order to have a good story to tell anyone who cares to listen.

So, the thing about a vacation is first you have to survive it. The younger you are (the more likely in some ways that you will survive it). However, likely the optimum ages for surviving any vacation is likely in your 30s since 33 is "The happiest age" worldwide. Ones twenties often one doesn't have enough money or experience so these travels seem to be the most "The Agony and the Ecstasy" which usually means there is a lot of sleeping in uncomfortable places with people you don't really know or trust well and there will be a lot of unhappiness and broken hearts because of this.

In your 30s most of your unrealistic expectations are gone (hopefully) or else your life might be cut short by your 30s or 40s. So, usually you can know what to expect of your life more and have more health during the decade of your 30s. By your 40s relatives, friends and parents are often starting to die a lot, so even though you are enjoying traveling a part of you is suffering the loss of friends and parents. In your 50s (if you still have your health and finances in order) your travels become more expensive because you just cannot sleep on those rocks or in that tent on an air mattress without becoming a bitch or a bastard to everyone around you that you are traveling with. In your 60s this is still true so you really have to love traveling to still be doing it in your 60s and 70s and 80s. Basically as long as you still have the intestinal fortitude to travel and enough health to pull it off it can be done.

Also, traveling tends to prevent your brain breaking down because all the new experiences stimulate you to constantly learn new things in order to survive new situations. So, if you love traveling like I do, the older you get the more a marathon of an experience it becomes. Happy Traveling!
