You should ask how it went for people who didn't quit their job and travelled 'the world', for a few weeks every year.
You may be surprised to find that that's a far more common and well rounded way of living :)
People who glorify travel don't seem to grasp that everywhere you go, people are living the life you left behind to go travel. They've got jobs, they've got kids, they've got their pub, their netflix, whatever.
The people who comment on here about how much travel has changed them are mostly young. When you're young, anything changes you. You don't need to go half-way across the world, just go volunteer at a homeless shelter, join a martial arts school, whatever. That'll change you too and you're far more likely to meet your wife/friends in your local community, than half-way across the world and have it work out.
Of course you don't get to share cool Instagram pics and get likes when you volunteer at a homeless shelter vs going to Egypt, but that's a whole nother story.
