i have a Quote from a novel:

Question

"Thailand changed my life. I arrived there with teenage baggage and left with the confindence to be myself ".
What does "teengae baggage" mean in this quote?

Answer 1

I'd say it is referring to all the strange and sometimes-conflicting ideas many teenagers have. Apparently, when this person left Thailand as a grown-up, having given up some of the adolescent ideas he had come with!
