moving out?

So I have finally gotten to the point where  i have enough money to pay tuition and move out, and as much as i want to get myself my own place i am finding that i am reconsidering moving out right away.  I would really like to go to France and visit my family before i get my own place because i know if i move out i will not be able to take time off from work to spend money on getting to and staying in paris.  This is a lot to consider, i have found several good options to move out and have not done so yet, i just do not want a good oppertunity to pass me by.
