It is good, it gets you experience that can make some difference in your life. I am usually a person with many fears in doing that, but it has interesting results

For working: You learn different skills that can amplify your next job application areas. I was working 12 years in a specialized area, I changed a bit in this new job, I learned a lot that can be used in my CV.
In personal life: Living new experiences can break prejudices. Going to Disney was one of them. I would never think in going there, a childish place I thought to myself. But it was one of the places where I had the most fun in my life.

So I really recommend once in a while doing, including for blogging which can build more knowledge about topics that you weren't used to post about it.
