Your 20s Travel Hit List

VISIT AN UNPRONOUNCEABLE CITY

Like Reykjavik in Iceland. Give yourself plenty of time to get your tongue around Rake-ya-vick as you take in the beauty of the northern lights — the aurora borealis — an amazing natural light show. And then there’s the blue lagoon …

GO ON A GIRLIE TRIP

Whether it’s for a dirty hen’s night or a backpacking odyssey, travelling with your mates is one of the best things you can ever do. Sharing clothes, seven hour bus rides and dorm rooms bring you closer together as friends. But beware — it can sometimes show you who your real friends are, too.

STALK YOUR FAVOURITE GIRLS

Or at the very least, head to Brooklyn’s Cafe Grumpy and casually sip on a latte while you wait for Lena Dunham and co to show up. New York’s concrete jungle has been the backdrop to stacks of amazing movies and TV shows, so why not live the dream and see it for yourself? From Times Square to Central Park, 5th Avenue to the High Line, try the New York state of mind. Oh, and go shopping.

TAKE A PILGRIMAGE

This could be walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain, attending the Dawn Service at Gallipoli on ANZAC Day in Australia, or visiting your grandparents’ village in Italy. Taking a journey with a purpose can have a profound effect on your sense of self.

GET LOST IN EUROPE

There are hundreds of hidden places to explore in the beautiful cities of Europe, and if you have the time, catching local transport will bring you a completely new perspective. Try a hop-on, hop-off bus so you get both flexibility and freedom. And if you do get lost? Hey, it’ll make a pretty good story.

TAKE A SELFIE IN MACHU PICCHU
