Good luck to you - sounds like a true travel adventure, giving up your settled life to become a traveller. In my opinion there is no greater opportunity in life - so much more rewarding than undertaking a fixed duration trip with a defined end. I did the same when I was 25 (in Asia).
My advice would be don't worry too much about the plan, don't make your set-up too complex and heavy, don't let early tribulations put you off your goal, and make sure everything is really tied up back at 'home' before you leave.
I had planned the first few months and they were great, but the real adventure began when the plans became vague and fuzzy. Then it was down to chance meetings, snap decisions and a shot of luck for the coming years.
