This sounds like what Phil Knight did in Shoe Dogs...haha. This is good advice. I have traveled to Iceland, China, and I'm going to Europe this summer. Granted those were more like vacations than long term travel. Thanks for the exception comment, I know this statistically, but I also know I'm so far behind some people on HN, /r/personalfinance, and indie hackers. I know, I know... Comparison is the thief of joy. I'm living, I guess I just want more. I want to work on something I'm truly passionate about and be great.

with the exception of a few countries, being abroad is so much cheaper than the US.
if you plan to move to eastern europe or southeast asia, you will literally triple your runway - with $60k we're talking 5 years to succeed instead of 2.
getting out of your comfort zone will spark more creativity as well (just like shoe dog, great book btw)
if you know you want to do entrepreneurship, why consider anything else? with enough iterations, as long as you're learning and cycling quickly, you will eventually succeed.
