Is it too late for me as a 22 year old to go travelling and see the world?

Depends on if you’re a risk taker willing to navigate the differing customs, different currencies, ,  language and cultural differences you’ll find in other countries or whether you have low tolerance for being in an environment where you as an American are not placed in the center of the universe and catered to like royalty. .Unless you just stick with the safety of your U.S.  tour group, get on and off the bus when they tell you to and don’t let yourself get separated from the group. If you call that “seeing the world” I guess you’ll be OK. 

Or you could just stick with English speaking countries where you never have to humble yourself by bothering to learn even a couple of words of their language. Maybe that would work also. I don’t know. It all depends on you. I never met you. If I did I could give you a better idea of how it would go. As somebody who’s traveled in my life, at least in the past, I can tell you that most of the people who talk a lot of tough swaggering sh*t on here with their redneck “U.S.A #1” mentalities would totally be lost if they set foot in a country where everybody did NOT cater to Americans such as them and their overwhelming sense of entitlement. They’d be peeing in their pants,  figuratively speaking, and be totally lost, miserable and homesick. 

But if you’re willing to see yourself as a open-minded and appreciative  visitor to another person’s country with its unique history and culture and you act accordingly, maybe even learn a few phrases of their language to get by (bring a phrase book and figure out what you want to say before you go into the store a restaurant for example) they will usually be quite decent to you and yes...friendly. Surprise, surprise. They’ll pick up on your sincerity. 

I knew a guy who had traveled all over the world and spoke a few languages but he obviously couldn’t speak the language of every country he’d traveled to and he said sometimes if he was in a country and he couldn’t speak any of their language if he wanted to ask where to buy some food he would just open his mouth and point to it with his finger literally. In some situations so you might even have to be willing to do something like that. Sign language. Probably not often but you never know. Of course, this was way before language translation apps on iPhones etc... I’m talking about before cell phones or PCs even existed.. That long ago. That’s what people would have to do sometimes in those days If they wanted to be adventurous and see the world.

Again, a lot of Americans are used to be catered too and have everything made convenient for them and most  of those types  would not be able to humble themselves to compromise their ‘right’ to convenience in any way at all while visiting a foreign land I suppose. 

Who knows...you might just turn out to be the kind of person who would enjoy your experience in another land so much that you wouldn’t even want to come back to this piece of sh*t. LOL. It can happen. You did ask the question after all; it shows that you’re interested. Not everybody is. 

Yeah, there may be worse places out there in the big wide world than the U.S., but from my own travels I know that there are also many that are also a LOT better. Much MUCH better. You’ll see.  

No, but you'd better not be monolingual if you want to see more than regular tourists do

You've only got another 50 or 60 years to do it in, if you live a normal lifespan.

Go to Morocco... go 2 Turkey. Get a ticket 2 Egypt. Many places are open.

Obviously not. 

You'll have to wait a few years, but you can travel at any time. 

If you can afford it, why would 22 be too late?  I was an army brat, so I traveled a lot as a kid.  I spent a lot of time from 30 to 50 on domestic business travel.  Since then, I've done more international travel for both work and pleasure.  I just turned 60, and I'm planning a long term trip to Europe when I retire.  If 60 isn't too late, 22 certainly isn't.  

Yes, you are too old for that kind of lifestyle.

That's the perfect time. You generally aren't broke anymore but you feel restless enough to want to finally get away from it all
