Are you American, or similarly to only have two and a half free days (yes, hyperbole) when you return to work? Then I'd recommend traveling anyway. I'd recommend either Europe or Southern Africa, three or four weeks if possible.
(if you're not essential for childcare or similar at home, and more important if you have not seen the world before).
- vinay427 10y agoI'm curious why you recommend Europe or Southern Africa. I haven't been to Southern Africa so I can't comment on traveling there, but these seem somewhat arbitrary to me.
- fred_is_fred 10y agoI assume you don't have kids. My wife can certainly function without me for a month but can you imagine your partner sending pictures of their trip all over europe while you are cooking, cleaning, getting the kids to school, to bed, etc?
- matt4077 10y agoDepends on age & a bunch of other specifics, which is why I added the qualification. There are myriad ways to organize families and, while I don't have kids (yet), I have good friends who agreed that they would always want to retain can identity as an individual, as a couple, and as a family. They bought a rather large house with two similar-minded couples and share such burden amongst six instead of two. It seems to be going quite well, with the children having input from a diverse set of adults (woodworking with x / literature with y...) while actually reducing the workload (cooking for 11 is less than 3 x cooking for 3). (note I don't disapprove of the more common modes, just saying that I can indeed imagine such things).
