Heylo- fellow sabbatical mate. Weigh in on my early high-level options below.

3 months break (March 1 to May 30, 2026). Couple with 10 mo old baby

Option 1-
6 weeks in Europe, rent a car (France, Spain Portugal, Belgium- not all but some route), 2-4 weeks in India at home, 6 weeks back in Europe!

Option 2-
6 weeks back in NZ or Bali..

Option 3- no India. Plan separately. 3 months non stop in Europe. (Buy a car, and plan some itinerary- include easy Europe)

Just a heads up that in my experience, European hotels gets pricier after May 1st because it becomes high season for tourism. That being said, option 1 sounds great.

Why does option 2 only have 6 weeks? What will you do with the other time?

I meant that last 6 weeks in a different location compared to back in Europe

Has anyone ever posted a general marketing position? We have an open position on our marketing team but we are unsure what type of position to offer. We have a wide variety of needs but don’t necessarily need to have this future person have all these skills. For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.
