is 5k enough to jumpstart my full time travel ?

i have about 6k saved and make about 3k a month. Would that be enough for me to travel? i currently live in FL . well i came here for work and my new job is being shady and after spending a week in a hostel i kinda starting thinking too much and was considering saying f it and just leave to SEA. I just got back from the bahamas and it changed my life. it made me realize i don't wanna live in the usa much longer. I originally wanted to save 10-20k but now im considering leaving now with just 6k saved up. i do make 3k a month in disability income not related to my job. i was thinking about going to thailand or maybe starting nearby and doing mexico first. i'm just over it. i'm exhausted, im tired yall and need advice cause i don't wanna make plans based on my emotions and right now after taking 2 weeks off im thinking i don't wanna go back.

is 5k enough to travel if i have an income coming in of about 3k a month?

so i have about 5k saved up and i wanted to travel and i make about 3k a month. Wanted to know if that's enough to start. I plan on staijng in hostels. I have only left my country once (a 4 day cruise to the bahamas) and now i want to branch out and actually fly places. i have a passport and i am over it. Ever since i got back for. my cruise i felt depressed. I knew i was already feeling low before i left but those 4 days i spent not doing anything made me feel so much better and i am officially burnt out. i just wanna know if it's possible to live off 3k a month. Thinking of starting in mexico, and then going to colombia, then maybe south east asia like thailand and vietnam and staying maybe a month in each of these countries before dipping. I only plan on staying out for 6 months maybe idk. I was wondering i should save more before doing so like maybe 10k or 20k or if it was possible with just 5.
