I'm giong to be the stick in the mud here and say that the travelling after/during college thing is not all its talked up to be. I did some travelling after University, and quite frankly it wasn't a cultural experience. I did not find myself. I just partied and hung out with a lot of other back packers.

The travelling that I've done since then, has been a lot more cultural IMO. Even if only for 2-3 weeks at a time, I've taken more from it. Not only am I more mature now, but I've got the funds to visit local restaurants, museams, etc... where the actual culture occurs.

I've never worked abroad, which is something I regret. I think that would be a different scenario entirely than just backpacking.
