Weโ€™re a DINK couple and both 37 yr old. Live in Europe , with households income of โ‚ฌ700k and net worth around โ‚ฌ1.8M.

Want to take 6-12 month long break from work and go on a world tour.

Have traveled to 60 countries already so not into just visiting a place, but learning and experiencing unique things.

What would you recommend?

We want to travel. But let me start with a humble brag about my net worth... ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Buy a boat and go on a voyage across the oceans. Know of a person who did this for 2 years (he also had kids).

For the others hating on OP for mentioning income and net worth - I think OP wants to make clear that they are not looking for cheap options / budget is not really a constraint

For those wondering why HHI and NW was mentioned, because want to make sure that

a) We are in a position to stop working for longer duration
b) We do not mind luxury or premium experiences

funnylike

Ok, but you never asked the Q if you can afford to stop working? You could have just said you want a luxury experience.

Now to answer your Q - you need to provide more
Details re where all haw you been, what do
Youโ€™ll like to do? Beach vs mountains? City vs small towns?

You answered to defend why it was necessary to mention your net worth (it wasnโ€™t)

But you didnโ€™t answer any other questions about your interests because you didnโ€™t find those necessary (they are)

Ok.

Where have you been? What do you enjoy?

None of what you shared means anything when it comes to travel and having unique experiences. Start with where you have been and what โ€œuniqueโ€ means to you.

6-12 months of travelling is a long commitment. It can be fun but it can also be arduous, stressful and tiring. Taking suggestions off strangers on the internet for this kind of travel is odd as most people will do it in a place theyโ€™ve longed to travel to I.e. South America or South East Asia

If you donโ€™t already have a list of places you want to go, you probably shouldnโ€™t do this type of trip?

When I did this when I was younger, I had a totally weird attraction to Asia. I spent months in Vietnam, where I bought a motorbike and literally just went around the entire country with no plans. I just took each day as it came and it gave me all sorts of random life and cultural experiences Iโ€™ll never forget

I then travelled around the South of China which was also amazing

Why did you mention income and net worth?

General corporate in NY looking to lateral into tech transactions at one of the EC/VC firms. Iโ€™ve heard that I may get a class cut if I make the move but Iโ€™m ok with that. My worry is that EC/VC firms are crazy busy work differently from general corp, I also wonโ€™t have control over my hours, and potentially worse based on how billing differs (block billing on a few clients vs having to work with 15 or more startups). Is the same true for tech trans or IP group?

This person is 20 years my senior. In the same conversation this person advocated for me on a separate matter & complimented my performance. I am not sure what course of action to take at this time. Distraught & unsure.
