Similar position here! Spent 4 years working as a programmer for a few faceless corps. While some of that was pretty interesting (wrote a quant investing engine from scratch) the politics eventually took its toll. So I spent the whole of last year travelling, came back refreshed and am now in the middle of a startup with two other college friends. If anyone else is in a similar position I wholeheartedly recommend both ( the travelling and/or the startup)
