Excited but scared for a HUGE decision

Hey guys so I’m a 22M from Toronto Ontario. Growing up I realized I was just wired different and I can’t seem to conform to the way society wants me to (working a job I can’t enjoy no matter how hard I try, wearing clothes I don’t even want to wear and putting on a smile pretending to be somebody I’m not everyday). My best friend is also exactly like me and he feels the same way about life and we have decided to drop everything in the next few months and just start backpacking. Our plan is going to start with house sitting in another country where we can start our journey and be stable while still figuring out our next move. I’m really excited to go off on this journey and see what life has to offer me but there’s a few things I guess that scare me about the whole thing. I have a girlfriend who I love and have almost been with for two years now, my parents are divorced and I haven’t really got to spend too much personal time with mother either ( she totally supports my decision to take off into the unknown). I’m wondering how I’m gonna break it to my girlfriend that I’m just not happy here and I don’t think I ever could be. Everyone in my city wears depression as it’s a badge, you can just see it everywhere you look. As I get older my urge gets stronger to let go of everything and truly find myself. Has anyone else been in this position before and if so what advice could you offer to us? Thank you so much for taking the time to read and I’m excited to hear what you guys have to say.
