Alright, so here's the deal. I've been thinking A LOT lately about what I really want in life, and i'm on my way to a 4 year college. I'm sure that I will learn amazing things in college, have some valuable experiences and have an overall excellent time. However, I really really badly want to travel the world, grab a bike and some gear and just go. It would suck, i would get hurt, i would probably get sick, i might even die to be honest, but hot damn it would be the experience of a lifetime...and truly, if you can have an experience that actually effects your life then I think it would be worth it. I'm basically asking if you wish you had maybe skipped a year of college or all of it, and traveled the world, etc. at a young, optimistic age. I've got a friend and we're really on the same page. We were gonna drop all of our money on gear and a new camera and go film a documentary. He's really well connected in the film industry in Cali.

Thanks for the advice, sorry that was so long.
