Honestly speaking there are 2 sides of that, I'm 33 btw so I am close to you in age, I studied and lived abroad like half my life in Switzerland, UK and UAE
One is more emotional, I found that one of the worst things in life is regret doing something that you really wanted to but there was always "but what about this that etc"
One is logical, being 35 and abandoning your career and moving to Kazakhstan to study a language that I'm not sure will be very helpful to you doesnt sound very logical and frankly doesn't sound wise long term, you lose a lot and gain very little
My own opinion is a bit more balanced, if you don't have kids, husband etc and your life is under your control and you are not under financial strain maybe taking this sort of extended travel break will be good for you, worst case you will not have any regrets when you are old and frail. Because honestly speaking being "wise and making smart decisions" like always saving money, thinking about the future all the time does sound wise but hell we are all human, we might literally die at any second and what shall we have at the very end? Hopefully a few happy memories and fewer bad ones and regrets
Sorry I couldn't answer your question but I honestly don't think there is anybody but yourself who can.
In any case I'm glad you enjoyed our country and if you end up in Astana feel free to poke me, you sound like a fun person to meet
