Sabbatical Travel Ideas for Your Six Weeks Off
Are you planning a sabbatical? A sabbatical is partially defined as an extended break from your customary work. But remember its purpose: rest, renewal, learn new skills, experience new environments and ways of doing, seeing and thinking. Sabbatical travel supports that purpose. Here's a handful of categories to consider as you plan your break away. Most can be adapted to an Extra Vacation, as well. Voluntourism AKA Volunteer Vacations
Voluntourism is a booming boomer trend and can be a rewarding sabbatical travel option. Click for a menu of Volunteer Vacation ideas. Learning Vacations
What have you long wanted to learn yet your study has been stalled for years? The music of Mozart? (Austria, yes!) Civil War history? Language lessons in France? A photography workshop in Alaska or Australia? Ahhh...cooking lessons. Where? Italy? Thailand? New Orleans? How about a creative writing workshop in Maine? It's not too late for piano lessons (my mother started in her sixties). Maybe golfing camp in Hawaii or Scotland. A certification course to teach English as a second language. (Complete it at home or in Beijing, Ban Phe, Barcelona or Buenos Aires.) Take the steps toward your sabbatical to fulfill your learning dreams.
Cultural Travel
A sabbatical centered around cultural travel shifts your everyday rhythm. Stepping into a new (to you) culture delivers the dose of fresh perspective that makes a sabbatical break so valuable. Do you want a refreshing alternative to hectic hotel-hopping tours? Here are two tactics for doing just that. Adventure Travel
Maybe an invigorating physical challenge is more your style. Would you like to hike in Hawaii? Run the rapids in Montana? Take an African safari? Does hot air ballooning, wilderness camping or bicycling appeal? Near or far, mild or wild, use the search box below to find the adventure trip fit for you.
Leisure or Retreat Travel
On the other end of the spectrum, burned-out boomers may relish the idea of doing close to nothing in a tranquil setting. You probably know of getaway places within a day's drive from where you live. A vacation rental home or a home exchange near a state park or in a tranquil town setting can be an affordable alternative to a far-flung destination.
