I missed travel right out of University, and I am only now being able to travel more. I'm about the same as you. 29 years old, not married, working away.
However, you have a great oppurtunity to go to school, keep earning a good salary, etc.
I find that I now take more specific trips, rather then go backpack for 4 months, I pick a place I want to go and do it for 2-3 weeks. Is it ideal? Maybe not the same as just travelling around, but I have managed to do quite a few great trips every year.
Finally, one thing I did right was rather then negoatiate a high salary at year end review, I negotaiated an extra week vacations a year from 4 weeks to 5. That gives me a chance to do a longer 2-3 week trip, a get away down to somewhere warm and a few days to play with at Xmas etc.
Anyway, you gotta go with your heart, but unless the job is terrible, you will have to come back one day, and starting at the bottom of a company is not always great either (been there as well, but that is a different story)
Good luck with whatever you decide.
