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.

People travel in all ages depending on their life circumstances and life styles and interests. I am unsure about your statistics of "most" people travelling in early 20s, not sure if it's most people you read online about or know in real life or you actually calculated percentages. I know a lot of people of different ages and everyone travels at whatever ages. Most people I know, if they enjoy travelling, they find ways of doing it at any age. Most certainly they did not stop travelling because they aren't in early 20s. By this logic I should have stopped travelling 30 years ago! Lol
Go travel when you get your vacation next time.
