If you could take a year out to do anything...

[Octobersky88]

What would you do if you could forget all your responsibilities and had twelve months to do whatever you like?

Get very fit.

Travel

Learn a trade

Sleep.

Am I limited to my current income or savings or can I assume unlimited funds?

Travel

Retrain as a teacher

If funds were unlimited, I found a nine month world cruise starting from £70,000!

A friend of mine has a plant nursery and loads of spare land. I'd spend a year there growing things.

If I had the money I’d travel and write.

If not, I’d just write!

I did take a year out. I travelled around North America, Europe and Asia. I ended up with a fair amount of debt which took the next couple of years to pay off, but it was totally worth it.

Do a year working at Disney in Florida in the cultural exchange programme they offer. Wish I’d done it when I was younger!

I'd go and live on a small island somewhere warm - Menorca or somewhere in Caribbean. I'd get fit, read loads, swim a lot, do pottery.

Travel, mainly around Scandinavia, learn to ski

I would make a massive effort and totally focus on nothing else but to lose weight and feel happy and at peace with my own mind.

Travel.

Read books while travelling.

We’re quite seriously planning a year out 2022/23 to see some of the world with the kids. Desperately hoping we can make it a reality rather than just a wistful dream.

Move somewhere gorgeous (and sunny) and write a novel.

Read my way through the library and take things at my own pace. Spa weekend every weekend.

Write. Go to Walt Disney World and work there. Write. Spa.

Take the kids out of school and travel (with DH too, presuming he’s allowed a year off too - otherwise I’ll have to rethink!)

Travel the world without a doubt

Travel

I would go to Umbria. In fact I am planning on going to Umbria for a year in five years when DD goes to uni (presume she will go to uni) and I get a lump sum from a pension. Let’s see what bloody brexit brings first though!

Sleep, read books, sort my house out, maybe a bit of travel. I had 6 months not working after I left the civil service, it was great.
