Should I travel in order to find myself?

I am 20, about to be 21 and ever since high school I haven't known what direction to go in life. I feel like I have been in this constant state of confusion about everything in my life, the last couple years. One thing I have always wanted to do is travel to foreign places I've only seen in pictures, but more specifically I have always wanted to travel to europe. So I recently had this "epiphany" and decided that in a year or so I am just going to buy a plane ticket and fly over to europe, with no plans of going anywhere specific, and just be kind of a drifter in a way and live day to day to really find myself in a way... Im not sure if this made sense, this is the first time I have ever done this. But if anyone could tell me if you think this is a good idea, or a stupid one. And if you have done anything like this by any chance PLEASE give me some advice. Thank you.
