Questions

I have the opportunity to launch my first startup in the Toronto/GTA area. I am confident in my idea and there is a ton of support for a startup like mine. However I am only 20 years old and still a little scared to put it all on the line. I also have the opportunity to travel to Australia for an exchange and I think it would be amazing. However the opportunity cost would be putting my startup on hold for the time being.

If you have to choose between one or the other I would travel now and build something later. You'll have more experience and meet new people while you are away. There's really no "right" answer here. You've stumbled upon microsm of life. If you truly value travel but this startup keeps you in one location then maybe it's a sign that it's not the best for you. As Jim Collins says "a once in a lifetime opportunity is fact, but not a reason".
