I'd like to start my own campaign. Is it too ambitious to do a homebrew world?

For map making just use whatever maps you can find online that suit your need to start with, once you are comfortable try drawing them out yourself and eventually https://inkarnate.com/ to help make beautiful maps, this is subscription though so if you don't want to pay just google fantasy map making sites.

Don't plan entire settlements, just the main focuses, then if you suddenly need a new location or something else make it up as you go, what will be useful for this is random tables, I suggest https://www.dndspeak.com/ it's full of random tables for whatever you need. Also have a list of place names and NPC names, this will come in handy. If you introduce a magic item have the school of magic pre determined because if a single character has Detect Magic they will ask the school of every single magic item you introduce, and sometimes they will ask just to fuck with you lol. Another very useful site is https://donjon.bin.sh/ monster lists, magic items, treasure calculator, everything, this site will be extremely useful to you. Aslo for names use https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/ places, items, npc's by race, it will generate whatever name you need.
