Take a Schengen visa and travel the whole of Europe. Stay in hostels there and interact with people from various cultures. Would be pretty epic. 2 months is a very good time for travel.

How do you prepare all the itineraries beforehand and book accommodations like lodgings for the whole trip beforehand applying for the visa?

Wdym? Like free time until the new job? İf so I would just relax for a while and then I'd try to learn something new.

Are you referring to notice period? Or time in between jobs? If I had 1-2 months off, I'd take some courses and work on improving or learning new skills.

Vacation, sleeping...anything but working. I assume you mean you have some time off before you start a new role. If so, enjoy it. You'll be started before you know it.

I had some time off between jobs, loved it! Used the time to do some creative hobbies, travel a bit etc. It was a nice way to switch off the old role personally

I used to follow the latest news about the company. I would try to communicate with employees

Probably, I would learn more about that new company. I would ask questions about it on the forum pages. I would follow its social media accounts.

I do any and all pre-work tasks that need to be done, prep anything possible that can be prepped. Then work on practicing my work/life balance with my new hours, meal prepping, schedule time for rest and relaxation even when the job starts. This way when the day comes I am not stressed and unprepared and I have something to look forward too already.

Rather than using your free time to veg out on the couch all day (though sometimes that’s definitely needed), you can fill it up with the things that help keep your days and free time from becoming too busy, but still being productive.

Whether you have 5 minutes or an hour, picking up a good book and spending some time reading it is a great way to spend your free time in a productive way. If your whole family has a bit of spare time, rather than sitting down to watch TV challenge everyone to pick a book and spend a certain amount of time reading it.

Taking online surveys is a productive thing that you can do with your spare time. Taking online surveys is a great way to use your spare time to earn some extra cash.

Have a productive rest period for yourself. Do the things that are good for you. Open your chakras and stay motivated

Unpopular opinion: look for better opportunities.
