Time between jobs—travel ideas?

I have ~1 month of unemployment this summer between when I finish my analyst stint and start in PE. Does anybody have any ideas for where I could travel? Have done most of Europe, but was thinking Italy/Spain/Greece kind of place for a bit. Maybe do something a bit more adventurous? Not sure what I’d do though to be honest. Any recommendations appreciated.

 

Italy Spain Greece would be sick. But, how are you unemployed if you already have a job lined up?

This was from another post but here's some ideas.

My dream vacations based on # of available days: 

1.If I had 5 days or a longer weekend that I could stretch - I would drive to my favorite brewery in Michigan and go visit several places along the great lakes

2.If I had 1 week or (~ 10 days) - I would do a road trip through all of the big BBQ towns Austin, Huston, North and South Carolina,  Memphis and St. Louis to try all the best BBQ in the USA

3.If I had 2 weeks - I would fly to Australia or France (based on time of year) and go skiing

4.If I had 3-4 weeks - I would try and solo kayak down the entire Mississippi river 

5.If I had 3-6 months - I would try and hike the entire Pacific Crest Trail 

6.If I have 2 years - I would hike the seven tallest peaks on each continent.  

1-3 are in the process of being planned 

4 is on the horizon 

5-6 are currently just dreams / will happen when I yeet out of banking
