    Before you get a career, live and work in another country or travel on a budget for a year. See other places, meet new people, learn lots of new things and get out of your comfort zone. Some people just walk or bike across a continent with a tent.

    You won’t be able to do it later in life when you have a job, family and commitments.

      Yeah, maybe find a touring job for a year or two. Cruise lines are always hiring, and there’s plenty of technically skilled jobs that you could later transfer into other industries when you get tired of traveling. If you’re going to travel, do it young when you still have the time and energy.
