Based on your desire for Asia travel and IT, I would recommend you concentrate on the business end of IT and get yourself into managed services and outsourcing consultancy. It's important that you keep up with your tech training though, especially development, as much of it is outsourced and you'll need knowledge and experience at whatever level you are at.
Then you're looking at applying for an analyst/grad level job at Accenture, IBM, HP, CapGemini, CSC, Infosys, Atos, Wipro, Tata etc....
I'm in consultancy. It's hard work and can be fairly unfriendly work/life balance. But, the rewards are very good, opportunities abundant and the work varied.
