Your trip is going to give you a whole lot of newly found confidence, which is something that will benefit you greatly in your return to the job search. There are countless career breaks, world travelers who left their jobs to travel the world only to find a new love while gone. Typically people who are willing to quit a job to travel the world aren’t meant for the formal, cubical setting of most corporate jobs. Traveling the world gives these people a chance to take a step back from life to really assess what it is they want to do. It’s a great opportunity to reflect on your life, your decisions, and what you have done up to this point. Since time will be on your side during a world trip, take advantage of that time to dip into your creative side. If you like writing but found you didn’t have the time during your hectic life, then pick it back up on the road. If you like drawing, then draw. You like practicing yoga, then take yoga classes. All those things you have always said, ‘I’d love to do that, but I just don’t have the time.’ Do them! You never know what you may be able to build a career out of.
