Today’s Photo Friday of Angkor Wat comes from Jannell Howell, a past Meet, Plan, Go! attendee, Basic Training member, and self-proclaimed “travel gearologist.” Angkor Wat is just one of many items Jannell has been able to check off her bucket list while traveling around the world on her career break.
“I’ve crossed off a couple of things on my bucket list: I’ve ridden an elephant in northern Thailand, I’ve marveled at the temples at Angkor Wat in Cambodia, I’ve witnessed a beautiful sunrise over the Himalayan peaks in Nepal, and I’ve had my breath taken away at the Taj Mahal in India.”
Jannell writes about her travels on Traveljunkie’s World Tour.

Today’s Photo Friday comes from Ali Garland of Ali’s Adventures. Ali explains:
“I always knew Easter Island would be amazing because of
the mystery behind the Moai statues. But when we got there and stopped
at the beach one day, we saw a row of Moai at the top of the beach.
Not only was it a gorgeous beach, but to be able to relax on the sand
and swim in the ocean while admiring the island’s history was just
magical. We actually used them as inspiration to build a sand Moai,
instead of a sand castle.”
Easter Island has become a popular place for career-breakers today. Planning your own career break? Check out our Meet, Plan, Go! Adventures page for more ideas.
