I had two opportunities at my old job to study abroad. One year, I studied Spanish in Buenos Aires for 3 weeks. Even though it was just three weeks, that trip energized me, excited me about life, and helped me dream big. Then, I studied French for three weeks in Amiens, France. That trip was, again, life-changing. There are many people who just need some time off and they don’t need (or, want) to focus on retiring early. Stephanie Perry, of Vaycarious helps women, particularly black women, take adult gap years. Not sure what that is, listen to the following podcast episode.
