Free-wheeling travel is the realm of younger people (well, at least those who don't have families or obligations that are hard to break, like mortgages and military duty). I traveled a lot when I was in my 20s and lived overseas for more than eight years. A great experience for personal and work reasons, and one that I could not consider doing now that I have a family and a home. Give yourself a year, by a cheap return flight to somewhere interesting with lots of opportunities for travel to other places (i.e, Bankgkok, Athens) and go ... Good luck!
