>Some other companies aren't so nice. Just ask! And if it's not ok, do it anyway and then get another job. Maybe this is more common over here in europe but basically everybody who really wants to travel does it like this. On my travels (mostly most of asia, south and middle america, some europe) I have met nurses, doctors, military doctors, journalists, devs (a lot), sound engineer, hair stylists, bankers (he was hilarious), DJs, salespeople, night watchman, .... Travelling the world gives you more experience, more insights and more perspective than just being another desk jockey like everybody else in the company. Also never let your actions be determined by fear ("will not be hired again, will not be as valuable in the workforce if I travel for a year, ..."). if you want to travel, just do it. (and read books about stuff that really interests you while you do it.) And: companies are usually not nice, but the people within companies are most of the time pretty decent, and they usually like people which just do their thing.
