Heh, if I could afford to travel I would consider that for sure lol.
Now is the time to do stuff like that.
Money may not be abundant currently, but the future will most likely hold stuff like a girlfriend/wife, house, kids, job.
Things that hold you down to one place.
Which makes now the most opportune time to piss off somewhere on your own, get a kitchen job to pay the bills, and live the shit out of your life for a few good years.
