I think you really have a great perspective. I will graduate from college in 6 months and, against my parents’ wishes, I will be traveling in Asia for 4 months working on my Mandarin and networking. I don’t see the rush to “get a real job”.

Great piece. I think some of what helps too is taking not just a vacation but a big break. When I was miserable at work I’d read websites with advice on how to fix it. They suggested stuff like taking a long weekend away, or maybe even a week, to figure stuff out. Ha. It’s been a year since I quit that job, and only now do I have enough distance from the situation to see what I really want to do next.

I think you touched on everything you need: get out there and meet people. Travelers are a natural for that, even the introverted traveler has to interact with someone sometime. I think people admire and naturally gravitate towards someone who is doing their own thing and living the life they wish they did.

Now that is a great story. A career breaker who has returned (and started a successful business) told me that he would not have conceived of his idea had he not stopped juggling all the balls and worrying about what would happen. The magic started when he just let them all go.

Nice to hear his isn’t an isolated story, and I’m wondering what kind of career connections we’ll make on our RTW trip. Loved reading this!
