Is wanting to travel / backpacking at 30 an unrealistic goal?

I never had the chance to go backpacking, I'll be 30 soon, been battling with anxiety and depression, lack of life experience, confidence.

I'm a bit ok now, but bored with my current family run job and the same cycle every year.

I like to travel, I can afford it, learn new things, do volunteer or work exchange helping others and maybe work if possible for a few months to a year or two.

But I'm wondering if this is unrealistic to make travel like this (which I wanted to do since I was 17 long before inspiring travel vlogs) one of my goals in life?

Or will I miss out on a lot of things, waste a lot of time and money and end up regretting it now I am older?

Update:

And most of all will it affect my mental health, like my social anxiety levels go up and depression generlaised anxiety..

I don't know if I have asperger's but I think I have something similar looking back at my past.
