Aw Low, I'm sorry. I know it's hard, but you should do your best and make a conscious effort to be adventurous, do stuff you haven't done before, go on holidays, go see new places and try new things! You're still young, you still have time to enjoy yourself
One of my workers I once had was in his 60s and had never left Australia. He told me something that's always stuck with me: "if you always say 'next year, next year, next year', there will come a year you're too old and frail to do the things you wanted to do". I try and live by that. Not all adventures need to be a month away in South America. If money's a problem: get a bus ticket and go to Mildura. If time's a problem, hop on the train to Woodend, and walk to the bakery.
If you want to go to Sydney, go to Sydney! Again, if money's the concern, a Firefly is $65 each way. If time's a concern, catch an early morning flight, travel light, and fly out late the next day. I could barely point to the great barrier Reef on a map, but I'm sure there's economical and time friendly options there, too
Thanks Baku.
TIL where Woodend was :)
There are so many places I can go to that don't even require going out of Victoria.
