Traveling in your twenties is a great chance to shape your worldview moving forward. You're more appreciative of other cultures than you were in your teens, and you still have the energy for endless exploration. These are the places that are perfect for that.
1. Tiger's Nest Monastery in Bhutan
 | This isn't one of those party hot spot destinations packed with other people in their twenties, but that's why you should travel here. Its a place that will make you want to learn more about it, like how it is believed the Padmasambhava flew to this location from Tibet on the back of a tigress. |
2. The Dead Sea, bordering Jordan, Palestine and Israel
The Dead Sea is an interesting destination due to all of its Biblical History. Or, maybe you will think its cool because its a body of water so densely filled with salt, you will always float on it, no matter what.
3. Salt Flats, Bolivia
If this picture isn’t enough justification for you, just think, this place is miles and miles of flat, zen, abandoned bliss. People say your 20’s are for adventuring and partying, but personally I think they should be a time to relax, before your career takes off and you have a family.
4. Mount Fitz Roy, on the border of Argentina and Chile
 5. Petra, Jordan | This is a destination meant for people looking to challenge themselves. It is one of the world’s toughest climbs. The good thing is, you are young and hopefully very healthy, so you can make this climb. Your mind will tell you that you can’t, but you can. |
Petra is another destination that encourages you to continue learning in your twenties. You can learn all about their rock-cut architecture before you’re old enough to worry about the architecture in your own home.
6. New York City, USA
Everyone needs to see the New York City skyline at least once in their lifetime. NYC has more to offer than you could possibly have time for: trendy dive bars, leisurely bike rides around Central Park, and the ever-popular Times Square. When else are you going to have an inordinate amount of time to try and accomplish all there is to do in New York?
7. Santorini, Greece
 | You probably don't know any Greek, but that's okay. It’s suggested to travel to places where you don’t know the language, to add onto your adventure. You will experience ordering the wrong food, getting really lost, and one of the most memorable times of your life. |
8. The Lantern Festival, Taiwan
At some point in time, you need to experience the spirit and wonder that makes up the Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival. Being a part of this epic festival in your twenties allows you to tell future generations and hopefully inspire their own journey there.
9. Lapland, Finland
You can stargaze in an igloo-styled hotel room. Need I say more? It’s not going to be cheap, but your income right now is dispensable. You don’t have to worry about paying a mortgage.
10. Las Vegas, NC, USA
You’re 21 and over now, so Vegas is probably high on your priority list. While there, you have to try to get the on the guest list for the highest-grossing nightclub in America, XS Nightclub.
