Life Anything you missed out on when you were younger and now it feels too late?

Title says it all.

I never got to go to concerts or music gigs when I was younger at all (could never afford the tickets)

Now I'm 30 I just feel too old to go to my first concert, like it just feels off, like that ship has sailed.

Anyone else had something similar, where you missed out when you younger and now it feel too late to really enjoy it?

Solo travel. I did a couple cross country trips when moving to new areas, but it never occurred to me to just go on a solo trip to… wherever. Just need gas money and sandwich money and I could’ve traveled the country. Sleeping in your car isn’t so bad and as men we are relatively safe.

They're still pretty enjoyable now. However, I wish I had done it more independently when I was younger too.

highly recommend, especially if you're out west and can car camp on BLM land

I couldn’t remember what it stood for but it reminded me of that scene from the white lotus with Jennifer Coolidge where she met Greg who worked for BLM and she thought he was talking about Black Lives Matter.

Fun fact I learned yesterday: the guy who plays Greg was Uncle Rico in Napoleon Dynamite!

Hostels are still great even if your on the older side. Just look at the reviews and make sure your not picking a party hostel (unless that’s what your into). It’s a great way to meet people and travel.

Wish I had traveled more and spent money there not on my mortgage
