19 and moving out?

I’m 19 and I feel like I’m taking my life for granted. I plan on moving out after my freshman year in college thus giving me enough time to plan and get enough money to help me get started. I’d like to travel the country and see as much as I can and then find a place to settle down and sort of “restart” Just to clarify I’m not running away from anything. I want to live and experience things that most people will not in their lifetimes. I’d just like some tips or an idea of where I should stay. I am also having another traveling with me who already has a large sum of money saved up so we will be financially stable for ~4–5 months. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
