Don't see why you'd have a problem. Always seems to be gov jobs knocking about. You might even settle elsewhere.

The lad should get his affairs in order, he could use that money for a house deposit or a wedding or an economical runabout instead of travelling round the worlds second rate countries eating shite food and telling everyone in his blog how great it is

Currently doing it at 32. I'm often the oldest in the hovels I choose to stay in but I don't mind, mostly. If you fancy it, go!
You can imagine how old I felt then if you thought you were the eldest!

Go for it mate. Something I wish I had done before I had responsibilities.

There's sometimes been the odd crazy older lady in the hostels! If it makes you feel any better they are usually my favourite guests - apart from the hideous American who introduced herself by insulting me and then proceeded to know everything better than the rest of the dinner table!You can imagine how old I felt then if you thought you were the eldest!
I stopped in a hostel in Adelaide, a lovely Victorian place with a balcony overlooking the beach at Glenelg. Had a great time and met loads of great people, some who I ended up travelling with for most of the year.
I went back to play in a footy tournament so stayed in the same place but it had changed dramatically. First night there was an old bloke in the bunk above me and the first introduction I got was when he dropped his steaming Y Fronts from his bunk onto my shoes on the floor.
Hardly an backpackers in the place. A sure sign of a dodgy hostel in Oz is when all the residents are Australian.
I was saved by a Sunderland ex pat who put me up for the rest of the week.
I'm not sure about the crazy!
I do like hostels though, they are actually memorable as opposed to hotels which are frequently comfortable but generic, soulless and forgetable.

The difference I find is the type of traveller too. I don't think I have ever actually met anyone in hotels who I have really got chatting too. While in hostels everyone seems to want to get speaking and go out etc... plus you meet other travelers who are doing the same thing as you or can join you on your travels for a bit. Love it.

You've probably got 50 years left at work given the current increases in mortality.
That's time for 5 careers let alone one. Get yourself away and see the world. You'll come back a better person, I certainly did.
My travelling also helped me get more than one job post return. As long as you do some interest things and don't just sit in a beach forb18 months getting lashed employers may well love your ability to take risks, budgeting ability, adventurism and confidence.
Now buy your ticket and piss off

I worked in Africa for 3 years when I was around your age, and visited places there and Asia during that time. Not the same as travelling I know, but checking out new places over a prolonged period of time is amazing and something you've got to do; don't matter if you're 8 or 80. Just do it man, if it feels right do it!

Love the story's, worked with an American guy in Vietnam. Was quiet when asked if he'd been before. Told me later, and to our vn secretary that last time he was in Vietnam he was firing thousands of rounds out of a huey helicopter in 67 and 70. Had some great stories.
