I’m 29, never left the country. My bucket list is visiting Japan at the very top. I have no idea what you do or if you have to go through travel agencies, how much money you should bring etc

    I mean, I didn’t have a passport for most of my adulthood either. As long as you only travel within the Schengen area and you live in a country that has ID cards, you don’t need a passport.

      I would be curious to know where you’re from, I don’t know anyone in France without one. Maybe because we needed it for the UK ?

        Pre-Brexit, an ID card was actually enough to enter the UK. I guess that may have changed since. (Also, Germany.)

          Last time I went I needed one, since it’s not in the EU, but now that you say it an ID was enough before that.
          Maybe it’s just that people around me travel more. But I would still expect anyone here to know about passport

        UK was in the EU for the most part of my adulthood, so I didn’t need a passport (I’m from Germany).

          To enter, you didn’t need a passport, but for most flights you did for the last few years. The airlines stopped accepting any I’d and required a passport. UK was never in Schengen but was in free movement, being part of EU.

          Ireland is still not in Schengen as there is “borderless” travel between Ireland and northern Ireland.
