A natural way to answer
I think each has its merits. Travelling young is more spontaneous and you bounce back from a rough night easily. Later in life you tend to travel more deliberately — you'd rather savour a place than tick boxes. The trade-off is energy for perspective.
Key phrases to use
- rough it — live without normal comforts for a while“We roughed it in a tent for a week.”
- savour — enjoy something slowly and fully“I like to savour a place rather than rush.”
- take it all in — absorb and appreciate everything around you“I just stood there taking it all in.”
- worth its weight in gold — extremely valuable or useful“A good guidebook is worth its weight in gold.”
