At the moment, you're stuck in the burnout. It's draining your energy and enthusiasm, so you're not going to have the cool ideas to go off and do something better because your brain just isn't in the right place. If you can afford to get away, do so, try new possibilities and see what they bring to your mind. Getting out of the current self-fulfilling pit of despair sounds like it'll do you good. The only caveat I'd say is that 'travel the world while you're free and single with no-one to tie you down might sound great, but.... In personality tests I tend to come out as an introvert but I'm fairly sure I'm actually an extrovert with poor social skills (and hey, self awareness is the first step to improvement...) - I know I need others around me and that that takes more time in a new environment than for some. For me, the 'travel the world, see the sights' advice would make me lonely and miserable in all these beautiful places I'd spent a fortune to see. Make the most of the opportunity to do things you wouldn't otherwise get a chance to, but be honest with yourself about what it takes to make you happy; don't press on regardless with the 'opportunity of a lifetime' if taking it will cause you greater pain elsewhere.
