You're young. You make a decent salary. You are in a profession that will only continue to grow. Your future should be bright. I'd recommend you go out and buy a BMW (preferably a convertible), get a hot girl friend, and take some more vacations. And I'm really not kidding about any of the above. If you have a need to "see the world", do it on your own dime. That way, you're in control. When you get sick of 3rd world countries, come home. Much better than possibly ending up in some hell-hole that you hated the moment you set foot in it, and know you won't be able to do anything about it for a year or two.
