If no one would judge you, what would you do differently?

You can still backpack around the world. There is no age restriction.

I didn't take notice of people's judgments very much when I was a young person growing up. I didn't follow my interest which is traveling into my career which now think was a shame. I left school at sixteen years old then went to a further education college for two years. There I studied Business and Finance (Shipping and Transport). Then I went to work as a children's nanny in Finland. It was the way I thought of being able to afford to travel around Europe. When I came home I got a job in a ship brokers. Sadly I was made redundant two years later. So I went off on a journey that lasted over one year. When I came back home I studied hard and became a primary school teacher. I wish I had studied Travel and Tourism and became a university or further education lecturer.

sure, sometimes what people judge really press me. i have to do some things which they think is good for me. if i can live without it, maybe i will feel freely

Actually nobody is judging us. It is how we feel about meeting the expectation of others. We do have the freedom to choose what we want. I think you can still backpack round the world if you really want it. I just hope that the employers do not place such preference for younger employees. If the employers do not take age into consideration, I think life would be more enjoyable. In singapore context, once a person reaches the age of 40, it is hard to get a job. That is the reality of life.
