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

 

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.

  4. Heli skiing - Alaska or Canadian Rockies
