<prompt> Human: I have a good job, but getting a bit burned out. Im single, no obligations, and want to do some traveling and learn some new skills. My lease is nearly up, so I would essentially be homeless while I travel. Am I being an idiot for walking away from a comfy situation like this?EDIT: Thanks for the feedback! I got a wide range of opinions, which is exactly what I needed. A few other things if I end up doing this:- I will be doing at least some remote contract work with existing clients. I will also see if I can turn my main job into a 10 hrwk remote contract. I am also open to teaching English or some other random side job.- I will try to work to cover 30k, which is my estimated total expense for the full year.- Main plan is to so a road trip to Florida for a month. Hike Colorado Trail for a month. Explore South America for 6 months.- My stuff will sit in a storage unit.- Im not too worried about future employers looking at my resume gap. I will just say I took time off to do bucket list items, and learned new skills.Assistant: My thought is this: Yes, only if you take the year away and use it to your advantage.- Have a plan.- What do you want to do? Physicallymentally recuperate?- Do something innovative. Traveling to some new place, learning a new language, learning a completely new skill, going cross country on a bike etc. are all good ideas.- Blog yourself every day to keep on track.- Learn a skill that can help you in a future career.- If possible, try doing odd jobs to support yourself on very low income and do not touch the savings. Or use only a little bit of that. Its possible to live in the US comfortably on 10K an year.You have the means and you have played the game well. Good luck,Edit: This would be a huge undertaking, so my advice is mentally prepare yourself first at least for a couple of months. Picture yourself during and after the one year. You will probably get only 1 opportunity like this in life, so you should use it as wisely as possible.Human: My lease is up on the 25th... So I cant really take extra months to prepare. Ive been thinking about this for the last month though, and Im pretty sure I want to do it.I like the idea of blogging. It might help hold me accountable so I dont just waste the time.Thanks for your insight.  <response>: You mean like spending time on Reddit? ;-
