when Jesus was being tortured and when He was crucified, He was able to last that long before dying. Thus, i guess that Jesus is a strong man who can endure a lot of pain, someone who might be bulky-looking with a lot of muscles or maybe someone whose body is like that of a young wrestler.
During their time, sons usually help or take over the work of their fathers. Since His human father, Joseph, is a carpenter, i conclude that Jesus was a carpenter or someone who does a lot of work (like carrying woods, sawing, and/or chopping. Men who does things like that for about 18 years can really develop fine-built muscle) helping His father.
Thus, i conclude that Jesus was keeping a low profile and was working as a carpenter. I think He was also preparing His mind and body for the days that He will be tortured and crucified. Thus, while working industriously, i think that He was also growing spiritually with God. He might have also been an industrious carpenter or a hardworking helper to his father that He was able to build up a strong body that can endure pain long enough before finally dying.

He kept a low profile, in the one place on earth that the forces of evil would never think to look for him ... Nazareth ... the place about which absolutely nothing had been written.
Jesus became man to lay down his life for his friends, and the precise time and place for that event was known to God since before the foundations of the world.
When his time came, Jesus was there, he perfectly accomplished his mission, and our redemption was truly at hand.
Nothing else really matters.

The crucial parts of the Lord's life were the ones that are recorded in the word for our benefit. The life and times of the Lord Jesus are recorded in the four gospels.
The word says to us in Luke 2:52 " And Jesus advanced in widsom and stature and in the grace manifested in Him before God and men." ( recovery version)
This verse gives us a general idea of what the Lord Jesus's life was during those years. The crucial accounts of His life in its ministry in bringing the gospel of Grace and the Kingdom of God was His real mission.
During His younger years He culitvated a proper human life... being obedient to his parents and helping to raise His other brothers and sisters. Learning the trade of a carpenter. And before His heavenly Father He prayed and learned to live,not by his own goodness.. but by the Very life and Words of the Father.. being prepared for what laid ahead... The bearing of the Sins of the Whole of mankind. The destroying of the works of satan and his rebellion... And dying to release the Life of God to man..making us the many sons of God in glory.
quite the thing eh!

Apparently those years were not important to salvation history. Anybody who will say such and such about where Jesus was or doing during those years is basing it on pure speculation.

He went looking to find happiness and enlightenment just like you and I. He found it and achieved it when he did the 40 day fast.
It was only after that fast (according to bible), that he had the perfect state of consciousness that everyone wants, did he go out preaching and performing miracles. See site below for short article on enlightenment and how you can also find it.

Luke 2:51 & 52 "Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart. And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men."
He was obedient to His parents. He grew in stature and He grew in wisdom. He was well liked by His fellow man, and His life was pleasing to God, in all the ways the Bible mentions a person can be pleasing to God.

He traveled. He went to places as far as India and studied Buddhism there. This is even documented from records close to 2,000 years old they have found.

He studied with the Magi that anointed him to become a Magus within a few days of his birth.
