so I'm in a really nice place this is called Khao Sok and it's about three
hours north of Phuket in Thailand and I want to say that if you want to travel
around the world then you really should do it now you might think I'm gonna say
it's because the world is changing quickly which it is everywhere is
getting busier and busier but it's not the only reason the main reason is that
you're changing I remember in my 20s I did things like windsurfing parachuting
hang gliding I even did a half marathon now I couldn't do it I woke up this
morning and I had backache I couldn't do anything I had to take a couple of
tablets and just relax when I was 27 I traveled around India I went hiking up
in the mountains even skiing in the mountains
I tried cycling up Vietnam till we got arrested and I went to Cambodia things
like that long bus journeys and things like island hopping on a longboat
journey all quite difficult once you get older I'm 55 now and just about all I do
is snorkeling I walk a few kilometers and just easy travel I came up here
by a hire car I didn't really want to get local transport and I'll tend to get
flight I'll get them in the afternoon because I don't really want to get up
early I'll hire a motorbike and I'll go to new places but I just want it easy and
more comfortable rather than a sense of adventure so the longer you wait the
less exciting your travel is gonna be a lot of people say they'll wait till they
retire and then they'll travel and what can you do then you'll probably go on
cruises just get off the ship go on an organized tour package and then go back
to the ship or you'll just go to one place sit by the swimming pool and then go
back go to the next place it tends to be more expensive as you get older because
you're doing things you don't want to rough it you want to be in some nice
hotels and with the extra comfort of five-star so it gets more expensive and
to me it's kind of fake travel that's not real travel anymore so what I'm
saying is don't wait travel now the quicker you do it you'll be able to
discover more have more adventure and you'll be able to do more the older you
get the less you'll be able to do and the less you'll be able to experience
