Is it cool to travel the world, be American and never learn any

You can do it, just realize you're limiting a lot of your options a lot and some places might give you less quality service

I don't know what you mean by cool, as in something admirable? Or do you mean that you'd easily get by? If the latter, then yes, you can get by without a single word in another language other than English almost everywhere now. In places where you couldn't, you can hire someone, a sort of handler or guide, even a taxi driver as a guide, if it did matter.. Hand signals and body language work wonders. Without a second language, you do limit yourself some of the fun of conversing with others, and expressing some etiquette in meeting people halfway with thank yous and such, though. If it's just fear, then yes, confirmed. You can travel on English alone. I'd handpick some first choices though, get those out of the way.

Not learning the local language will prevent you from having a lot of cool experiences with the locals. And isn't that the reason why you'd want to travel out of your home country?
