Alright, alright, I know the whole "ideal age" thing can be cheesy. But hear me out! I'm planning a backpacking trip across Southeast Asia and I'm wondering if there's a sweet spot in terms of age. I'm thinking about things like having the energy for long travel days, being financially secure enough to afford it, but also still young enough to be adventurous.

So, for all you seasoned travelers out there, what age do you think is ideal for a big globetrotting adventure? Anyone done a similar trip and have any advice? All insights welcome (except maybe those selling ideal age calculators)!
