Help! I’m 28 years old and I don’t know if I should go on a year long trip around the world…

I am 28 years old (Australian) and I am scared about the future. I don’t know what’s changed but I’m terrified about my future. I’d love to take a year off and travel the world but I’m worried I’ll be homeless when I come back.

I’m planning to travel with $30,000 AUD and have another $20,000 AUD set aside as a cushion for when I return.

I don’t have family to stay with to get back on my feet yet on the other hand I’m also worried that if I don’t take the risk I’ll forever regret not going backpacking.

My plan is to go straight to university to be a nurse once I finish and I’d stay in student accommodation which isn’t bad actually. I’d just be older than most. I currently am renting my 2 bedroom house and it’s nice and comfortable yet I’m so scared to leave. I was meant to take this year off when I was 24 and travel the world but covid messed it up. I don’t mind renting a room either.
