If you could take a paid month off starting tomorrow, what would you do with it? 🌍✈️📚🛋️

I think I would take a few days to clean and organize and then pack up and spend the next 3-4 weeks driving along the East Coast of Canada/USA just living life.

About the same, just a different destination. I'd do a deep clean of the house, order some vacation clothes and plan a trip to either Southeast Asia or the Mediterranean. A few weeks out of the country would do a world of good for my mental health.

Oh I love the idea of traveling to those areas! If money was no object I think I'd spend some time in the Mediterranean too!

I'd definitely go travel. I would want to go live in Italy for a month and take a cooking class or work on a farm or something just totally different from 9-5 life. I don't have kids or a partner yet, so I feel like I should do something like this before I settle down.

Love this idea. I'm almost an empty nester so I would love to do this.

If money wasn't an issue, I'd to go Ireland and wander around for a month. And maybe even jump across to the UK, there are some gardens there I'd like to see. I've always wanted to take a long trip with an RV, just going to National Parks and historic sites in the US. But this isn't the year to visit the National Parks, from what I've been reading.

Haha sounds like quite the journey!

related but not fully, at the start of covid they had no mechanism for us to work at home. Being in govt they told us we would never have been allowed to work at home in the past. it took them 6 weeks until they could get laptops for us to work at home so i had 6 weeks paid vacation. couldnt really go 'far' because you never knew when youd be called in. but i ripped apart the kitchen, took off the wallpaper and fixed all the issues with the walls then painted it. also did other long needed projects. at one point my gf said did you know you are working on that stuff 7 days and you are doing more work than your 'work'. Then when working from home i did get to travel and work some days and take some off to enjoy where i was. If the public knew we had 6 weeks paid off doing zero because of incompetence im sure they would be thrilled

like

Wow! That's sounds like a very productive 6 weeks off! You're right the public would hate that BUT it might make up for the less than great pay and lack of bonuses!

I'd visit Thailand, major bucket list location for me. I'll get there soon!

Please send me your phone number we can talk.

I believe this goes against guidelines and anonymity.

I would take the first week to do some overdue purging. Then I would go on seven-day vacation. Upon my return I would take some time to visit relatives. Then home for the last five days to focus on professional/personal growth and some relaxation in between. 🙂

That sounds wonderful 😊 I hope you get to experience it one day!

I’d have to agree with this I would find a cozy North Dakota spot for me and the family for the summer. Who wants to come?
