What are some things I should consider or some stuff I should know? Really thinking about doing this next year.

The most obvious one is do you have enough saved up that you can comfortably travel and still be in a good position afterwards if you don't find a job for a while. What is your current job and how easy would it be for you to find another one?

Best way to see the country is by car, so make sure you have that covered.

I want to do this myself (well not the quitting part, just like for a week or something), but to me it's so daunting to plan!

Just make sure you have the money to do so, and will arrive back home not in debt really.

My sister spent a year in Australia on a work visa but really she just went there because she was 30 and single and trying to "find herself". She had no money saved up and worked at a cafe there. She came back with tons of debt and it's still crippling her. Shes an idiot.

I work in the warehouse of a furniture store. I have a lot of experience with different warehouse duties like inventory, inspecting, unloading trucks, etc. so I feel like I'd be qualified enough for basically any warehouse job since I've been at my current one for over 6 years now. I also have around 25k in my savings account right now.

If that 25k can 100% cover your travel plus at least six months of general living expenses afterwards you're fine to do it basically whenever you want IMO

Yes. I've kinda wanted to move out for awhile, but I didn't have a car/license until a few months ago so it wasn't possible. It all worked out though since it helped me save up quite a bit.

Pretty much any woman who says this is just looking to sleep with as many guys as possible guilt free and hopes a guy will bail her out afterwards. It's always a success story for men when these thots have to actually pay for it.

Yeah I know way too many wealthy, successful dudes in their early-mid 30s who fall for that exact "free spirit." Then they get married and the girl basically gets a cushy life forever without putting in any work and making stupid life decisions in the name of fun. It's a privilege that I am admittedly bitter about for not being able to have.
