I'm coming to the end of a fixed term contract, I had hoped it would be extended but that's now unlikely to be the case. My contract comes to an end early April. I'm in a low/medium admin role. I've been applying for customer service and admin jobs and have an interview for an admin/customer service help desk role in a couple of weeks. It's £21,000, good employer, good perks. Also got an interview for a call centre job. Looking at applying for more customer service/ call centre stuff.
The thing is, my friend is planning to travel in SE Asia from August and has asked me if I'd like to join her, and I really would. I'm in my mid twenties and sort of feel like it's now or never! I've got the savings to do it and it's not like I've really got a career, just had a series of slightly increasing admin jobs.
Do you think it's alright to start this sort of job and leave after 3/4/5 months? Would it reflect really badly on me and be unfair to the team, or do you think they'd sort of expect it/not really mind? Don't want to be unprofessional but do need a job and do want to travel later! What would you do? Am I agonising over nothing or is it obviously really rude?

Is it okay to start a job with the intention of only staying a few months?
