Travel is way more effective if you combine it with a discipline. You'll make more friends, learn the language faster and have a lot more fun. Not to mention, you'll come out of it with a brand new skill.
Make sure you actually visit a location and spend a couple of weeks there before you commit, though. You'll be miserable if you don't actually like it.
Also, don't limit yourself to just martial arts... there's tons of hobbies you can pick up all over the world. Each country has some kind of specialty. Maybe study culinary in France or Tango in Argentina.
Definitely. I can't really get excited about travel any more unless I'm going to stay in a place for at least a few months and have some semi-productive activity planned there.
