This is dedicated to all the millennials out there, and of course you gen X’ers.

You probably tell yourself you’ll travel when you’re older, when you’ve saved enough, when everything else in your life is stable enough to not blow up from you disappearing.
I still tell myself this.

But let’s face it — as a young person, you are (likely) money poor, and time rich. Think about this for a second: as a single twenty-something with no kids or partner, your time is your own.  Responsibilities will only increase from this point forward. This is it.

For many of you, this will likely be the only time in your life when your evenings and early mornings truly belong to you. You are time rich.

As a nonrenewable resource, time is worth infinitely more than money. This is why I say you should always choose travel if it is a goal for you to see the world. If not, that’s OK. But know that this is the time to explore because you’ll never get this time back.
