TIME OUT
Hurrah, a sabbatical, or even better, a career break.
We're quite jealous that you are considering a wonderful, long trip, particularly if your firm is paying you while you disappear off for a few weeks. Better still they might be holding your job open while you go for longer. The key of course is to ask (nicely). Or maybe you are going travelling between careers. Either way, what a great opportunity...
