Been looking for an awesome community of travelers (similar age range). Especially for insider recommendations (favorite little restaurants, parts of town, smaller cities, large cities too) and also for the reminder that life is short and we should make it happen no matter how busy we get! On my bucket list is Vietnam & Italy currently. In case anyone has any experience or recommendations. Cheers,
