[quote=Anonymous]I think you can manage meaningful travel on spring breaks and during summer vacations. You should probably focus on single destinations vs. "Best of Europe"/Eurail-type wanderings.  You should also do some browsing of Air BnBs to see if you can find non-hotel lodgings that would fit your needs and get a sense of pricing.   Regarding DH's enthusiasm levels, they may return once the trip is underway.  That's what happens to me...planning the trip is not much fun but once we've gotten to the first stop and past jet lag, I'm fully with the program.

I think Peru/Macchu Picchu probably is the signature South America trip you want to plan on.  Take a look at how packaged tour companies schedule those tours.

For Africa, maybe consider Morocco.  The classic African safari trip to see elephants, zebras, lions is very expensive but you could make it a goal for a few years off.

For Asia, consider making a trip to only one big city: Beijing or Singapore come to mind.  Singapore is close enough to Malaysia and Indonesia that you could sample those as well. Due to official use of English, it's very easy to navigate.

To feed the traveling bug in between bigger trips, do the most exotic North American destinations.  Montreal and Quebec are a somewhat less expensive substitute for visiting Europe.  And if you haven't been to Chichen Itza by way of Cancun, I'd recommend that.
