Stay or go for it?

Hi everyone. I'm currently a second year teacher in the States teaching middle school ELA/SS and I'm interested in looking abroad for the 21-22 school year. I know that this is such an uncertain time, so I was wondering if other people thought it wouldn't be such a great idea to try to break into the international teaching world. I'd like to think I'm a decent candidate for some mid-tier schools - I am young, would be going alone/no dependents, I'll have two years of experience, and I did part of my student teaching abroad in a European international school. I'm not really interested in going to Europe at this point in time (nor do I think I'd even have a chance at finding a job there), but I'm pretty flexible as to where I'd like to go. I think Eastern/Southern Asia would be ideal, but honestly I'm not really set on any location. However, I'd only have two years of experience and it's not like English teachers are exactly uncommon. So I'm feeling hesitant about that.

I'm sorry if this post is repetitive/a common question! I just wanted to get some more insight before I really buckled down and started looking because I'd likely use SA and/or ISS which cost money. Any advice/knowledge would be super helpful!
