Usually the people who are against these big once-in-a-life-time travel decisions, are ones who have never done it. Those who have moved across the world, or taken some massive trip...very few people seem to ever regret them. In fact, it often times, defines their life or their next career move.
Yes, your career may be thrown off the perfect path for a bit (although sometimes this is for the better), but you will grow as a person and will have a lifetime of memories. If it takes you a year to get back on the same track after you come back, so be it. You're still young and responsibilities are pretty minor compared to where you could be 5 or 10 years from now. Do it while you can.
