Would you quit your job to travel the world?

I find it really brave to let it all go and one day decide: yep, that's it, I'm quitting my job and I'm going to travel the world. It's quite a cultural thing as well. For instance, I've seen a couple of colleagues doing that here in UK, whereas I don't know anyone in Portugal who would ever do that. We plan for the future, to save for when we grow older or to save for our kids. So unless you are rich, we would struggle to follow our dreams. But I do agree, life is too short, I have no clue what happens tomorrow, so I'm trying to slow down in terms of work and travel here and there.
