You must live YOUR dream, not someone else's.
If half a million people choose one path and you choose the other, you will have interesting unique experiences that the half a million people missed out on. You can always join them on their path when you have finished exploring your own path, if that's what you want.
I say go and travel. You will meet interesting people and see interesting places while your friends who have chosen to settle down see the same things they're seeing now. When you come back with fantastic memories and stories to tell, they might change their minds about thinking you're a fool.
