I'm writing this from a hostel in Italy. I worked for a major corporation and asked for 2 months unpaid time off because the 2 weeks a year for the last 8 years of my life just wasn't cutting it. They said no and I handing in my resignation. I gave six week notice and during that time I was able to find another job that would let me start 3 months after my end date to allow for my trip. I just finished visiting Norway and Iceland which were absolutely amazing. Don't be afraid, go enjoy life a little bit.
