Wow thats very exciting. I'd reccomend going somewhere in the winter months. Its difficult these days to get that full disconnect but you have a few options. How about Japan? In the winter it will be beautiful. Some might be scared of this but having to learn a new language puts you to some degree into social isolation until you start to learn how to interact with the local people (hey you asked for it!) Other then that, India? Might be too hot for you but it is an amazing and underrated country. And then there's places like Nepal (known for Everest basecamp), a place where you will be guaranteed an amazing experience. North China.... The baltic states in europe, add norway, sweeden, iceland to the list if you want it cold? The list could be endless. I'd love to be in your situation :) ... and yes I've done a lot of backpacking in my time for 6 months each shot. I stayed semi-connected though where i could.
