I'm granting myself permission to ramble.
So, something a bit unusual-- I don't normal like going to other countries? I also see no reason to plan change, especially when it comes to things like jobs/job-security.
What I do enjoy is studying nature. So lets make up a nice job that I don't have to change much, (and I do have to make one up because humanity could never be persuaded to pay someone for this) and I have to travel around to do it. Lets say my job would be to take stock of how biodiversity manifests in different biomes. Like, to find/study common trends across reptiles but take into account the biome they're in. And so cites are mostly out-- if the goal is to study nature, you probably are going to avoid cities anyway.
If that was my job for a year, and like, I only get a week in each area (its a cross between speed dating and cramming for an exam, learning about a place like that.) In the beginning of the year its cold in the northern hemisphere, so I'd first want to go into the southern hemisphere. Maybe the bottom of Chile and work my way up? People forget about Chile, and that makes me want to go there, and its so freakin' Long that you could spend half a year in Chile looking at all the different biomes. Then, when its midsummer/august I would want to do Iceland and Alaska because no one lives there. I hear they are super pretty, too. Then, maybe the Himalayas, because they are mysterious and mountain-y. I'd want to do the Mediterranean area as it gets colder. Its a completely unique biome according to the maps. And then, as November and December roll around, I want to take a look through Africa. Just a quick one, since its so big.
I don't know how all that would change my outlook on life-- it feels kinda fake to guess at that sort of thing. Easy to fall into a self-fulfilling prophecy that way. Hopefully it would make me tougher, might make me kinder. I dunno.
If I could possibly avoid large groups of people (and therefore the frustrating language/culture barrier) I would enjoy it immensely. The one problem is food. I might have to live off of dried food, stale bread, and peanut butter. That would kinda suck. Though gathering different teas and herbal drinks would be kinda fun.
