UPDATE 6: BB here, sending an update from Doha. Mr. THAT Equity Partner and I went to lunch to celebrate our initial prenup redlines and just ran into Lionel Messi! I had on my Argentina jersey under my vintage Ann Taylor blouse and was so excited to meet him that I accidentally knocked over a plate of fava beans. In a flash, Messi bicycle-kicks the plate, which lands all over my outfit. Without missing a beat, he turns to a reporter and says: “That associate’s messy AND eating beans!”

I've been working full time for 13 years and need a break. Thinking of taking a sabbatical and would like to spend some time in Europe, thinking about doing some kind of studying/short course abroad. Have any of you heard or done something like this before? Any ideas? The course could be anything really, doesn't even have to be work/consulting related. Preferably something low stress that I'd still learn from.
