You'd have to travel very fast... but, according to One theory, yes you could return to your starting location if you traveled away from it for long enough... due to the nature of curved space/time.

As far as I know, the answer depends on the theory you use to answer your question. There are quite a few theories on the nature of space/time fabric of the universe. I think the most prevalent theory suggests that without any other body's interference, if you could just keep walking forever in a straight line you would not return to the point you started because of the ever-expanding nature of the universe.
