Thanks all, i appreciate the support.
Evil K, let me know where and when you'd like to travel to. Yeah, I'd rather travel solo than with a dude as that might complicate things.
Sweet tears, without or without somebody, I'm going.
This is definitely something I'll be blogging about. I've traveled by myself to foreign countries before but never long term like this. I'm currently immersing myself with others who have done the same thing to eliminate any anxiety I might have. I figure a job is always still gonna be there and I'm not getting any younger! I've got Plan A, B, and C in place, so of course, if any emergencies like health with myself or my family come up then there would be a delay but for right now I'm on schedule.
