When you visit. Don't do it as a tourist. Actually live among the locals. Budget like a local. Immerse yourself into the actual local condition. A lot of people visit a place, think it's all coolios then move there and realize there is a huge difference between the tourist experience and the resident experience.

That being said. I support your call to adventure. We live in a time of change and movement. Fortunes can be made and lost. Be a knight errant in a world of slaves and serfs.
