A warm welcome to HUBB.
Far off lands might beckon but I'd strongly advise some 'adventure motorbiking' in the UK first to gain experience of riding and also what sort of gear you need. As @Turbofurball writes, every ride is an adventure when you begin. Start local and then try some locations further afield. For me the focus of biking is definitely to get to see interesting places, so I tend to bumble along at relaxed speeds and enjoying the scenery.
Heading into October and November isn't the best time to introduce yourself to motorbike camping which is no fun when you have a tent full of wet motorbike gear. And it's a long time dark in the winter months, so I'd recommend the great network of independent hostels and bunkhouses at https://independenthostels.co.uk/ where you can get warm and enjoy the company of similar minded folk.
You've not completed your location info, but South Wales including the Pembrokeshire coast and Brecon Beacons is worth at least a couple of weekends. The Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and Pennines the same. My favourites in the UK are the Outer Hebrides, Orkney and the NC500 but that's best done in May-June-July for the late nights, see https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hu...scotland-77073
And in another endorsement of @Turbofurball's comments, once you've got miles under your belt I strongly advise joining a local group of Advanced Motorcyclists with the intention of passing either IAM or ROSPA qualifications. The main focus of these groups is on hazard awareness and road positioning and I firmly believe that without this training I wouldn't be here by now.
It also makes biking even more enjoyable, especially the joys of countersteering...
I look forward to hearing of your adventures.
