"travel to see and feel the diversities - different ways of living and thinking, or maybe connect back to the root, tracing the marks left by people in the past and learning from them"

I've indeed been thinking about an extended backpacking-trip for some time, but that's only something I might embark on once my grandparents are no more.

I guess you are a bit stuck with the responsibility of taking care of others VS living for yourself?

I don't know much background of your family, but do your grandparents really need you there or more like you are subconsciously finding excuses?

It's a bit of both to be fair, I simply don't wanna be away on some "adventure" when their time comes, leading to me stating put...

then take on smaller /closer adventurers, easy to get back anytime!

when you see more different things, it refreshes your thinking and understanding about life, not only it's full of possibilities but it's also up to you how to live life the way you want - maybe it will come to you one day what you really passionate about.

Second the travel option, especially to developing countries... can provide some much needed perspective.

I think the so called developing and developed are fiat terms, the way I see places are old VS young, you can learn different things from both; or the one with real things ( humble yet with a long past ) or the one with good marketing ( pretty shell but empty inside ) . 👀

You sound like an awesome grandson. I believe your grandparents would want you to explore more to find your own personal happiness.

Well, I am 😄, the thing is: I'm the most content whenever I'm with my family. It's not that I'm longing for some exotic, adventurous experiences per se, I'm more looking for something to work towards, something of substance...

I'm the most content whenever I'm with my family.

good!

also, traveling is good for refreshing, what is more important or life-changing is learning and creating, traveling ( consuming ) is not the way to grow.

I've found that blindly consuming tends to leave some kind of emptiness; I'm all for doing it the hard, and thus more often than not, the cheap way.

I'd like to do a study in regards to learning and creating, but most studies I've looked into created the impression that they are strictly a prep for a future full of work (career), which isn't what I'm pursuing.

simply learning for the joy of learning (not for a job) or learning for survival? Contrary to popular belief bitcoin does not fix everything. You can't eat bitcoin. What happens if SHTF? We all need to learn how to survive - think food, water, growing, production, saving, preserving, other survival skills. FWIW I would love to be in your position in terms of not having to worry about working full-time. I have a massive list of shit I'd love to learn, skills to learn for survival, health and just the fun of it. I look at my in-laws who have worked their whole lives to retire and just go to the supermarket, eat, drink booze, watch TV, sleep repeat. I feel like retirement is wasted on them.
