I took a couple years off between HS and college.  I traveled all over the US.  I went everywhere from New York, to DC, to sunny California.  It was a lot of fun.  I had to save up a lot of money to be able to afford it, but it was awesome.   Most of the time, I would just live out of my car, but other times, hostels, and cheap short-term apartments were great too.  Good luck.
