I'd go for the travel. You want to do it, you have the money, you are healthy enough for it right now. Why not? If it turns out you don't really like traveling or need more money than you thought, you can get a job then -- it sounds like you are in demand...

I did this a few years ago, it was great. I spent a few months in Europe, a couple months traveling the US in a used travel friendly vehicle -- no hookups for me either, although that was all that was available in some places. I found that it was really hard to give up the day job but after I did it I never wanted to go back...

Is doing a summer camp and taking off to travel in the fall an option? Or taking a few months to travel in May and June and then doing a camp? Where do you want to go?
