Recent Grad and Mother Wanting to Travel

I am a recent graduate working as a circulating RN in Cardiothoracic Surgery. I have always wanted to travel, especially now that I have been in the OR for some time. I really want to travel and be exposed to procedures not performed in my current location. I also would like to just experience and explore some other ORs to see what all is out there. I have a six-year-old daughter. Anyone willing to share their experiences with traveling regarding family? Any input will be appreciated! Thanks!
