But generally it's wiser to study, get the relevant degree(s), get into your chosen industry/field, work your way up to a high-paying job, eventually get promoted, get rich - and then do the world travel bit when in your 30s. Perhaps. Oops! By which time in your 30s you may be married with young kids, leaving you unable to indulge in lengthy globe-trotting. In which case save the globe-trotting for the 40s.
I did some travelling when I was 21. I am now in a well paid job and had 2 promotions in 18 months. I have a degree and consider myself "wise" in many respects. I don't want to wait till I'm 40 though to travel again. I make sure I use my holidays to see places I haven't seen, but there's nothing like working and living in another country.
