It’s not a place I’d want to visit
But I don’t know why age is relevant
My colleague’s mum goes every year. She went when she was in her 20s and she just absolutely fell in love with it so that’s where she goes every year. She didn’t go when she was raising children so I suppose that was about a 20 year gap.
Now she is in her 70s, retired and spends lots of time there. She’s found a whole bunch of places to stay and she knows lots of people. She thinks it’s absolutely brilliant.
I’m not sure if I’ll ever leave this country again to be honest but we’re all different.
I would imagine the safety profile hasn’t changed much, but there’s a lot more publicity about it now.
if it’s your kind of place, then by all means go.
I should probably add, I know one Indian lady who recently visited after 20 years and said it’s horrible ! She was visiting relatives but she said just walking around town was really unpleasant. And everywhere smells of weed. Obviously, London can be like that, but she doesn’t really go into London anymore. I pointed that out to her and said she’d have exactly the same problem here if she did!
Honestly, so much of this depends on what bothers you and what doesn’t. But your age has nothing to do with it. unless it affects your travel insurance premiums a lot?
