Ask yourself: “What kind of experiences do I want to have while I travel?”
If you are looking for recreation mainly, then finding a resort destination that promises the kind of activities you want to experience should be no big challenge. Consult a travel agent to get good advice and to get the most out of your money.
If you want to learn more about yourself, then consider traveling to places when you can live and even work with others on something you consider interesting and challenging.
You might want to consider something like the Peace Corps. There may be a cause you would like to work towards or a particular culture in which you would like to immerse yourself.
Wherever you go, the most enriching experiences of travel come from contact with the people who live and work in that place. Resorts provide a very safe and comfortable but extremely sheltered and restricted perspective of the place in which they are situated.
If you are planning on going off the beaten track, you better be well prepared and equipped. Learn to speak the language and read up on the cultural norms laws and practices. Be sure your consulate or embassy knows where you are going and when you expect to return. Keep them informed if your plans change. That way, if you should seem to go missing, someone will know to look (out) for you. Real experience of real life is not without some risks.
Even within your own country there are opportunities to discover amazing things about yourself and life in general. Think outside the box! There will never be a better time than before you settle down in your career and relationships that may be a major part of your future.
I wish you the best as you take the opportunity to enjoy your travel and to explore places and yourself!
