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

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.
