Just do it.

Go to an exchange program or go to school overseas (I think my son may be able to escape American cost disease that way.)

Locate in a city that is close to many things, has a good airport, etc. I spent a year in Dresden, Germany and got to see a lot of western and eastern europe.

Also take opportunities; hike in the blue mountains in Jamaica in the winter, for instance.
