The best places to travel every decade of your life

Here at Oyster.com, we like to think that travel is a lifetime journey.

We believe it should start young and carry on into our late years as something that adds to our lives, at specific moments in our lives.

While we have always had trouble turning down a trip, no matter where it might take us, we've learned that various spots are better suited for some ages than others. So we've put the best travel destinations in the world into a list that categorizes them by the decade of your life you should visit them in, starting with childhood.

Your Childhood: Anaheim, CA

Two words: "Mickey" and "Mouse." Disneyland is every kid's dream come true (and even that of some adults), so we felt Anaheim was an obvious choice for the best destination for kids under age 10. Sure, the options for babies are limited, but as the years pass, the park can take on new meaning and adventures for you as you get to meet Mickey and pals, float on rides, lick large lollipops, and sing along with the whole crew.

Your Tweens and Teens: Orlando, FL

As you graduate to double-digits, it seems only natural that your appetite for theme parks may grow, too. But, while some may still find magic in the Magic Kingdom, others may have a taste for something different. Luckily, Orlando has almost got it all -- not only are there a host of theme parks, like Islands of Adventure, Universal Studios (including The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade), Sea World, waterpark Wet N' Wild, Disney's Animal Kingdom, and, our personal travel-lovers favorite, Epcot, but there are also tons of silly tween-and-teen-friendly spots like Ripley's Believe It or Not, murder mystery dinners, and crazy golf. If you are one of the kids who starts to outgrow theme parks as you get into your teens, you can still shop 'til you drop at the outlets, catch a show, or hit up the under-18-friendly dance clubs at Universal's City Walk.

Your 20s: Berlin, Germany

As most everyone will tell you, your twenties is a great time to explore new things. Many have just graduated from college or moved out of your parents' house --and it's a whole new world for discovering. Berlin is a great stepping stone for traveling and challenging yourself in a new environment. The city is crawling with culture, clubs, great food, and even better beers, and it has just the right balance of familiarity (from being a Western city) and foreign (from being, well, foreign to U.S. travelers). Berlin is one of Europe's more tolerant and safer cities; it's clean, hip, and almost everyone can speak English.
