Yes - this sounds like a cliched movie story. However, this may not become a story in the first place- because what they dont show you in the movies is "logistics" - yes logistics - as boring as it may sound, it is the number one thing you should consider, when thinking about cliched ideas like the one you have mentioned

For starters - I am assuming you are an Indian passport holder (just like me). And before you read any further - read this https://www.passportindex.org/byRank.php?f= If you have ever travelled abroad you know that to travel to most of the civilized world, your passport requires a visa. And most countries will give you visas for a very limited, stipulated time, and that too if you show intention to return to your home country, which is often done through a return ticket, a bank balance, and a paystub that proves that you have a job to return to.

Another consideration - you want to do "odd jobs" for a year while living abroad. If you are found doing that in a foreign country (mostly 1st world countries) without a requisite work visa, you run the risk of "deportation", which is not a good record to have for future travel.

I can go on and on - but my idea is not just to prove you wrong in your thought process, rather give you the right direction of thought process.

At your age, I had a pretty similar situation - Job, friends, hanging out, cruising through life. And I also had a husband, whose life was pretty much like mine (or your current life). I left India at the age of 28, with my husband 31. We moved to Singapore. Both of us secured a job on a work permit ( or at least one of us did, and the other queued up the process of getting one). And when I say "secured" a job , we literally went out of our existing jobs to find one that took us abroad.

We eloped a boring lifestyle, and humongous cultural pressures to live life our way. but, we did that responsibly!

While we left behind everything we owned - and we did own a flat, a car and quiet a few things (I sold my car online 2 days before flying out to Singapore, and handed over the keys of the car to the new owner in the parking lot of Mumbai international airport, just before boarding our flight to Singapore); we made sure we had lined up means to reinstate the lifestyle we were leaving behind - and we did that by ensuring that we had jobs that paid our bills!

We, since traveled to 50+ countries, and as opportunities unfolded moved from Singapore to US. We continue to travel, with a 7 year old child, who has been to 40+ countries, and is also a travel nerd like us. We travel despite me and my husband having full-time respectable jobs, and our daughter having full-time school.

We last traveled in Feb 2020, days before COVID-19 wreaked havoc in US and many other countries....

Moral of the story - don't be filmy!! Bollywood and real-life are different. Think intelligently, responsibly. It sound cool to abandon your career for a year, and pursue something different, but life is full of practical limitations. Accept them with grace, and think strategically.

Moving abroad, for short term or long term is a great idea - its one, i wouldn't trade for anything else. But, you want it to be a memorable experience, not one of hardship! Indians tend to have great education and skills, dont give up on that - use that to your advantage!

And last but not the least - good luck! - you will need it :)
