Yes, you're being fair.
Having said that, remember that there will literally *never* be a good time to do something like this if you put your career first. However, let me make myself clear with this: I'm not saying you should do it sooner; I'm just saying that as someone who values their career and work life, I literally never think it's a *good* time to do these things, so I've missed out a lot.
Remember to keep a good balance in the long run.

Do you think it’s a bad idea to take a year? I do feel nervous about the long-term implications. I love travelling but feel like there are better ways to go about it. As someone who puts career first, is this something you would do?

No, I wouldn't do it.
But in reality, I find it's hard to do this sort of thing once the ball is rolling in your career. You're better to do it before, or a good ways into your career after you've proven yourself, and have a stable framework to go back to, which in reality, would probably take many years.
If it were me, I'd do like a few weeks in another country before fully committing myself to my career for the long term.

Yeah, I’m wondering if it might just not be the best idea in general. I feel like it’s more ideal to do when you’re in your early 20’s. I actually did a year abroad already which I guess is why I don’t feel so much of a need to do it.
