So I wouldn't worry about everyone goes overseas in young age. Many young people don't as it's very expensive. They still enjoy their life. So i wouldn't worry about it.

Yeah, this is what I always assumed was the case: when people are young they don't travel much because they don't have much money, then when they get older they travel more because they have more money. This is why I was very surprised when I came across people on travel forums asking if ages like 30, 27, even 25(!) were too old to travel. But apparently things are not like I thought at all. Most people who go traveling are actually in their early 20s. At this age people are still in school and get summers off, and it is also a thing where people take "gap years" after high school or college where they take a break and go travel. As people get into their late 20s, they have careers(like in my situation) and also many of them are starting to have kids.
