I don't think b-schools really care about CFA. However, you'll have to take your GMAT. You don't need a crazy story to get into business school. Just do what you love and demonstrate leadership along the way. People often ask what types of "leadership" experiences they should pursue, and I think that if you do you what you love, the leadership will come naturally...that is, if you really have leadership potential.

Don't worry too much about all the travel / work abroad stuff. All the top programs claim to be "global" -- and they are -- but you certainly don't need international experience of any kind (I didn't have any). It all comes down to the story that you tell.
