I did my first long international trip at the age of 27 after having worked for 5-6 years. I had a
ton of money in the bank so I didn't have to fret over every sandwich and cup of coffee, plus I had the professional contacts necessary to ensure that I was employed when I returned home. Not minimum wage employment, mind you, but six-figure salary employment. It all depends on what your priorities are. I, personally, had more fun and adventure between the ages of 30 and 40 than I did between 20 and 30...
