I've got no responsibilities, no kids or SO at the moment, so now would be the perfect time in my career to do something wild.
Perfect opportunity to NOT work for a bit. If you can afford it, go backpacking. Solo or otherwise. You will gain direct insight into where you want to live/work. Of course, when travelling, everything is seen through rose-tinted glasses, so bear in mind that the reality of living somewhere new is always more complicated than what you see when "on holiday".

Honestly, I wonder where the line is. You want to immerse yourself in another culture, but not flounder/drown either.
Might be better to work at a more similar culture (ie us->england) as a stepping stone to a challenging change (us->asia)
Yeah I've been thinking on this one and Asia would be too wild for me so Europe would be the destination.
Not working—the most valuable skill of our era.
