I'm an impatient person. I'm restless. I get bored easy and frustrated with being stagnant. Although I've already done a lot of cool stuff which I am grateful for, I don't want to be looking back in a few years regretting not doing it.
I also think people are more judgemental when you borrow money for travel. People don't seem to think twice about buying a car on finance, taking out a mortgage or taking student loans... Do you know ANYONE truly debt free ?? I'm the only person I know completely in the black.. Hmmmmm again.

I'm sure you've pondered this many times but how about a shorter trip ?
No need for a loan at all that way, no worries about leaving Mum for too long although I know you've done shorter trips in the past and possibly won't feel satisfied unless it's going to be a long trip.
I think you're worrying too much about looking back with regrets as in my book you've got with many, many travel years ahead of you.
And yes I'm debt free but when you get older you ideally have to be as you don't have the income to pay loans back, and I suspect banks and the like don't like giving loans to the old folk.
