This is exactly what I did. I finished university (mid-collapse of economy) and went on a backpacking trip to Latin America, starting in Mexico... Three years later, I'd never made it further south! I spoke fluent Spanish, had a Mexican boyfriend I lived with, a ranch full of horses and a job with the local television station. When I got back to the UK, my British friends were still mostly jobless, mostly living at home.
I got a job within 48 hours of arriving in London - it turned out that there was a huge demand for bilingual tech people in the British film industry. So, yeah - getting lost basically got me my only marketable skills! I'd definitely recommend it :)
