Lol when you're in your 20's, 30's maybe can still consider backpacking. I think if I'm in my 40's 50's I would rather do something less taxing. I backpacked across multiple continent overland so maybe our standard of "backpacking" differ
Much better would be to buy a holiday house in Au/Nz and maybe spend half a year there and then half a year in Sgp assuming the kids are independent (more or less) by then. That's my plan anyway

Imagine staying 3 months in US, 1 month in Canada, 1 month in Australia, 1 month in NZ, 6 months in Europe ....
