I just took a one year trip. I think it helped me to get a lot of perspective on my life, this might be interesting to you or not. I was on the verge of starting my own business but I back tracked as I saw it in a different light, I gained new perspective on it. I spent one year in South America learning Spanish, studying yoga and mediation in Thailand and India, learning bit of Chinese, learning to run and running a 10k and getting fit. Getting a real low paying job in America selling fireworks. ect... Now I am back at the full time gig and getting shipped off to Puerto Rico to build a solar farm, something that would have never been on the table if I didn't take the time. two weeks seems so laughable to me. I spent 12 days in a silent meditation retreat, that is almost two weeks there. One way to look at life is through the lens of time, we all have x amount of time, we get to choose how to use it. Everybody is given time, rich people and poor people all have this x amount it's a great equalizer. My year abroad cost about $17,000, that is an incredible deal.
