The Certain Age Crowd,

I'm sat here watching Gilmore Girls and I wanted to be amused by this whole idea of the thirty something gang where they have all moved back to their parents' houses after finishing university. Granted, it's the Gilmore Girls, so they play up the stereotypes, but it is a situation many people are finding themselves in with the idea that those of us "blessed" enough to still be in our twenties are generation rent. 

Yes, we are generation rent, because the amount that house prices has gone up these days, who the hell can afford to buy a frigging property? 

I guess that the other thing is that this generation tends to be a little bit more, well, free. We tend to be able to pick up quicker and go further, whether it be to travel for a few weeks for a holiday or to just up sticks and live abroad. I mean, why wouldn't we? 

There is a big world out there and it isn't such an alien thing to want to see it, touch it, smell it, hold it or whatever, but it has never been so accessible as it is right now. Things are crazy and the world doesn't work in the same ways that it used to, so if you can disappear to another country for a few months and make it work, why wouldn't you? 

New experiences are important to us because they are what keep us happy and keep us growing. New experiences help us to move forward, and that is the way we want to keep going.

Catch you later.
