Suggestion on what to do before starting PE job in 2020?

Hey guys, so I'm a third year analyst with a job that doesn't start until summer 2020.

I won't get paid any third year bonus until then. Does anyone have suggestions on whether I should finish my third year and get paid or some cool creative things I can do if I end up quitting early between the next job?

Backpack Europe, its an more affordable way to go about seeing the world, and it is probably going to be rare that you can get a chunk of time off like you can with this opportunity
