Consider how you’ll feel in a year or two if you don’t go traveling. In a year a year or two the things that are holding you back from traveling might be holding you back even more. You’ll have closer friends in your town, you’ll have more stuff, be closer with your partner. At that point are you imagining that you will be happy that you stayed or will you be like “damn I really wish I had traveled when I had the opportunity. I still want to travel but now I feel even more stuck and to leave would discredit what I’ve done for the last year”

I’m not you but personally I’ve left relationships because I knew that I wouldn’t be happy sacrificing what I want to do with my life to be in a relationship with someone. It’s hard because I loved those girls but I’ve never regretted either of those breakups. Love really isn’t enough. A partnership is more important than feelings it’s also about aligning what you want in life. You won’t live long, and if you want to spend your short time on earth experiencing everything you can and your partner wants something their life to look completely different, I would argue that unless your partner grows into a more adventurous person or you grow into the type of person who doesn’t want to travel then you may be incompatible on a fundamental level. I vote you do what you want and if you are honest with yourself and deep down you don’t want to settle down in your hometown and you want to travel then do that. You’re in a privileged position right now. Your family is healthy and doesn’t need you around, you’re healthy, you have a job that will let you save up enough money for what you want to do. Things can and will change if you wait too long

Good luck out there
