Travel before having kids
Our take
F29 turning 30 who works at an airline company with cheap standby tickets and can work from anywhere (but i prefer to take time off while im actually on a trip). I love travelling but my partner is happy travelling 1-2 times a year and has a way less flexible job than I do. A lot of my friends are hard to plan with and my siblings has their own priorities, we manage to squeeze in a trip every other year after extensive planning.
Now im starting to get a feeling that i should try to travel more before i have kids which i want to within 3 years or so.
I mostly enjoy what i call ”adventure travel” where i can explore and do things that wont necessarily be fun or easy with kids. I want to go to Peru and see machu pichu and amazonas, Vietnam and travel around as well as bathing in hot springs in Iceland. I also want to visit South Korea.
I have never travelled abroad by myself. I honestly feel hesitant because i like exploring together and create memories. But im considering it, because otherwise i think theres a possibility none of this will happen.
What would you do in my situation? Try to find people to travel with? Do it by myself? Do you think its worth trying to push in more travel before starting a family?
HELP!
EDIT: im an experienced traveler and have also lived abroad in 2 countries. but i still have many more things id like to do (and hopefully that will always be the case), especially the more adventourus trips.

- How to balance a long term relationship and travelHi everyone, So I've been struggling today thinking about the future. I've always wanted to see the world (preferably with a partner) I've even wanted to live abroad. However I (27 F) also want to be in a long term relationship and have a family. In a perfect world I'd meet my partner and travel together and have a child and live abroad or back in the US. However whenever I meet people who want long term relationships they usually are against traveling or scared of going places outside America. I guess my question is has anyone been able to balance a long term relationship with seeing the world? Where are you able to meet your partner? submitted by /u/moonfernn [link] [comments]
- “Starting Work & Travel at 28. Am I late or just overthinking?I’m 28 and about to leave in 4 weeks for a Work & Holiday in Japan and after that may comes Australia. I think I will be on the road for a few months/years. Honestly, I’ve been questioning myself a bit. On social media, I mostly see people doing this in their early 20s (22/23), and while I know there are also people in their mid-to-late 20s, I can’t help but feel like I might be “late” to this kind of experience. And I know, that Social Media is kinda fake. But what makes it harder is that no one in my immediate circle has done something like this or is planning to. Instead, I keep hearing things like I should focus on my career, settle down, or think about long-term stability (house, marriage, etc.).. It sometimes feels like people see this trip as something irresponsible or like I should have “outgrown” it by now. Especially close friends and family. At the same time I feel like I’m still young and this is exactly the kind of experience I want to have before fully committing to a more conventional path. So I’m curious, has anyone here started traveling or doing Work & Holiday later in their 20s? How did you deal with social pressure or doubts from others? And looking back was it worth it? Would really appreciate hearing your perspectives. Thank you. submitted by /u/Queenlucifer_1 [link] [comments]
