I pointed out your age which can't be anymore than 23 since you're accidentally hinting being 30 is old. Yeah it's not a "youth", I'm not arguing that and I'm in my 20s myself. What's with that range of 23 being the cap anyway? You seriously think being 25 or even 26 will have a lot of eyebrows raised in a youth hostel? Once you reach late 20s report back to me if you still think a 30 year old man is controversial in a youth hostel where the majority of folks are in their 20s themselves with still a huge chunk of those people within 5 or 6 years of being in his age range. I really don't understand why a 30 year old man would have so many "struggles" bumping into young people in his travel, I mean even if he is 39. Can you send me some links where he describes these struggles I am honestly kind of curious.
