I do want to travel more, in general.
I'm eyeing some tech conferences in the next months, which would involve varying levels of travel and sightseeing.
I went on a ~three-week roadtrip once, which I saw as a shorter/practice version (it was originally planned for two weeks) of a longer one I'd like to do one day. So I might do something like that.
- keepamovin 1y agoAre tech conferences really in tune with working on yourself??
- Cyphase 1y agoI think I see where you're coming from, but then, is the travel you were asking about in tune with working on myself? Perhaps. I've never had to go to a tech conference/meetup for work; the ones I've gone to have been social/community/fun events for me. I was at North Bay Python last weekend and I'm going to PyCon US in May.
- keepamovin 1y agoI hear you. For social! The way I think about it tho is, if taking some dedicated time for working on myself, I want to get as far away from all work/tech stuff as possible! For a while anyway :)
- bilsbie 1y agoCurious what you tell people you do when they ask? Does everyone know what a sabbatical is? I’ve been on a long sabbatical myself but I don’t feel like people would understand that so I usually just still say software engineer. Btw feel free to email if you want to chat sometime. I haven’t especially productive so it would be great to get some inspiration.
