Month Between Jobs

Go solo travel in Europe, stay in hostels - there are so many solo travelers out there right now and you will meet people quickly. Literally just pack a bag and book a flight somewhere tomorrow, figure out the rest from there. Don't waste this time

Easy (and probably correct!) answer is to travel somewhere. I'd ideally find someone to go with but it would also be cool to go alone. My brother travelled to Greece alone and really enjoyed it, although I've never tried. 

Personally, for the past year I've been interested in skill acquisition. Like, cooking, instrument, sailing, surfing, skiing, camping, archery, ju-jitsu, swimming, etc. 

I don't want to get particularly good at any one skill at this point, but the goal would be if someone at a mid-level wanted to do the activity, I could join and not be a liability. This would just open up a huge part of life for me I think. Then I could choose what to focus on more as I please. 

So if I had a month off I'd maybe spend some of it traveling, but I'd really focus on this stuff. Optimizing for when to learn what activity, how many times per day/week to practice, etc. 

Someday I'll get there. A few months ago I started trying to pick up the cello 

This is probably what I would do. I’d consider doing a big 5-7 day backpacking trip / camping in Yosemite California or someplace I’ve never been, go golfing for a couple days, binge read a book series from my childhood like Lord of the Rings, go to a concert or two, and take same Italian cooking classes.

I also am planning on beating one of my childhood video games in a week or two (Skyrim, Legend of Zelda). Hope that gives you some ideas.

Why can't you travel alone? Traveling solo is the best.
