NOBODY SEND YOU
To start a fruitful career as a traveler at the age of 20 there are a number of circumstances that you should not ignore, but make the most of . We tend to ignore their importance, and like the Delorean that hasn't passed the ITV, it doesn't hurt for someone to point them out to you before it's too late:
1. YOU ARE NOT GRIPPED BY 'RESPONSIBILITIES IN CAPITAL LETTERS'
... unless you have been especially precocious at this age. Pay attention to the elders who tell you “if you don't do it now... when are you going to do it” and “but what a hurry you're in, that will come to you”. Pay polite attention to others without letting your headphones show.

2. YOUR YEAR IS GOVERNED BY THE SCHOOL CALENDAR
... envied by the rest of the population. Except for that of the partial and final confinements , you enjoy much more time than your purchasing power, based on donations, can decorate with guarantees. Take advantage: the excuse of training-course-language abroad is always well received. Try to memorize some phrases to demonstrate the success of the investment and accumulate unforgettable experiences. A Erasmus - the Michael Jordan of tourism with a folder- is worth more for what it is silent than for what it tells.
3. AS YOU HAVE NOT BECOME INDEPENDENT, YOU ARE YOUR ONLY FIXED EXPENSE
Concentrate your saving efforts with a destination in mind, nothing will bring you more satisfaction: the trip begins with its preparation and only ends when you forget it. Organizing an expedition to a festival is an almost obligatory step before embarking on larger undertakings. Surely in some of those endless posters there are enough bands to agree with your companions and others that you don't even suspect will mark your life.
Festivals: your annual financial goal
Four. YOUR DEMAND LEVEL STILL REMAINS LOW
This is not the time to get VIP, so far you haven't done anything to deserve it. Better five star hostels than a hotel with five. Use your resources to go further more times. You will never see a tent as an accommodation option again, you will never think of crossing Europe up and down with a train ticket without taking into account factors such as tiredness, sleep or wrinkled clothes, it is the opportunity to sound coherent saying “ let's go Interrail”.
Take advantage and leave Interrail... then THINGS HAPPEN
5. YOU ARE IN PHYSICAL FULLNESS: EXPLOIT IT
Practice sports, your body and your mind will thank you as long as they exist. The trips that are associated with all kinds of boards will lead you, in summer and winter, to some spectacular places during the day and more than entertaining at night. The whole lot. And who knows, maybe you will find the vocation that allows you to be in comfortable clothes all year round.
Take advantage of your physical fullness
6. YOU HAVE A PLANET AHEAD
Do not repeat destiny as much as you would like it because from that moment you will be missing things. And that's the last thing that can happen to you in your 20s.
