I’m getting to the point where I need a vacation, but tired of using PTO for 7-day benders with buddies from undergrad. Anyone have any interesting ways to use PTO? Mentors of mine have recommended everything from going solo to another country to professional treats down to the jungle of Costa Rica (idk…).

Go to somewhere in nature and go hike or do another outdoor sport (ATV, kayak, snorkel, dive etc). Salt Lake City, Vermont, Maine, Boulder or Patagonia if you’re feeling like traveling abroad.
Having a generic wild night out (where nothing actually notable happens) at some generic yuppie bar just in a new city sounds boring as hell to me. Go have an adventure somewhere.
Agreed - go to Montana and hike around Glacier
Go to Nantucket. See how the partners at your firm live. Never take time off again until you get to that status
