/lit/ - Literature

I will finish my undergrad degree in a few weeks and post-graduation ennui is creeping in already... I refused to apply for masters because I stubbornly told myself I've seen enough of academia and want to see something different (although my degree is in a field which won't bring me very far outside of academia, and academia has become in some sense a safe space - which might be why I yearn to escape from it).
I may have found a completely remote job as a translator. It's quite low-paying and some would consider it a dead-end job, but if I work it out right, it might be the perfect way for me to fund experiences outside academia. How doable would it be to leave my comfort zone completely and move to a cheap country far away? I'm only 21 and only speak Italian and English fluently (plus conversation level Spanish, French & German), but I think that with a bit of planning, evaluating options and getting paperwork done, this would be a pretty cool option. I obviously want to travel, see the world, and get to learn things first hand, but I'm also starting to see European cities becoming way too unaffordable for anything creative to flourish, and I don't know how fruitful it is anymore to sell one's soul to live here. I left my village in southern Italy as soon as I could and moved to the UK for uni, the next step would be to keep working my way towards full yuppie-dom - renting a flat in a gentrifying neighbourhood of some city that was considered cool 25 years ago, and accepting that working some role which calls itself "creative" while paying 30£ for a gig every other Saturday is the right compromise between pretending to be creative and making the people back home proud. The more I think about it, though, the less appealing it becomes... And I'll never really know what the other options are until I force myself out of this cycle, disappoint a few people, and see what else the world has to offer first-hand. How idiotic would it be to just pack my bags and leave?
