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.

Agree with you here. There is a big different between living in a different country as opposed to backpacking. I never had the chance to just go backpacking (something I still need to do) but like you said, its good to have the money to fully immerse yourself into the culture as much as possible.
