If you could go anywhere..

Say you had a chunk of free time prior to starting a new job, around 3 weeks, what would you do? Whether from your own experience or desires, or from what you’ve heard someone else has done. Backpacking through Europe, hiking a mountain, exploring an Asian country, or some sort of international program, etc

in all seriousness, if you're already settled in your apartment/new city, agree with the above poster who said LatAm. I've dreamed about taking long Robert Pirsig-like vacations to exotic places, so I'd do that. buy a one way ticket to Panama, rent a Land Cruiser, and then disappear for a few weeks

 

This depends a lot on season. I took 10 weeks between exiting NYC and moving to Denver with a friend who was about to go to b-school. Our agenda was Argentina, a brief trip back to NYC, and then Dubai/Abu Dhabi, Italy, Croatia, Greece and Sweden. This was ~13 years ago so things would probably change if we planned it now.

 

Fuck all the supplied ideas, you aren't on this earth to live out someone else's dream. Do a deep dive on something that's been on the back of YOUR mind.

  1. Surf & Scuba trip - Bali, Australia, Hawaii, Costa Rica
  2. Brazilian Carnival - Salvador, Bahia (would throw in some surf days)
  3. Visit college friends in China
  4. Heli skiing - Alaska or Canadian Rockies
