Graduate a quarter early and travel the world or stay and study abroad?

I'm a junior right now and just realized if I forgo my minor, I can graduate a quarter early. Assuming I get a SA position this summer and a FT offer, I'd have some extra spending money to do either one of those things.

If I travel the world, I am probably going to backpack around Europe or SE Asia for 2 months then spend the last month before work chilling. If I study abroad, I'm probably going to go to some uni in Europe.

Which one would you guys do?

 

Travel. Be reckless.
