Opening a school abroad

    Hi guys, first off, this isnt a plan, this is a DREAM of mine, ive had for the past 6-8 years.

    I started kitesurfing when I was 12, and kept at it until 18, when Ive started college, and didnt have time to enjoy it. Im studying medicine right now, and while the post-college work availability looks promising, this isnt what I want to do.

    The DREAM is to move abroad, to a country full of tourists, and open up a kitesurfing school there. I want to finish my education, just to have a degree for the sake of it, and then f off to some warm place, where I can work, while enjoying myself.

    Id prefer to be getting less money, doing something Im really passionate about.
    Im 21 now, and while young, i feel that while im not drawn back by any anchors that i might have in the future (work, house, kids/wife, debts), this is the best time for this, and if i dont give it a shot, ill be really regretting it somewhere down the line.

    The DREAM is to move away somewhere warm, Australia/US/Africa....places tourists go for a sun holiday, to splash some money for 2 weeks before going back to their miserable jobs, and setting up a small school there, where I could give lessons.

    I know my stuff, its a skill i could teach others. A service people would pay money for.

    Im not looking for advice, I just wanna know if anyone has done anything similar? Packed their bags, and went off doing completely different than what they were already doing, in a different country? As quite frankly, I feel pretty miserable what I do now, and I KNOW kitesurfing is something I extremely enjoy.

    Thanks in advance.
