There is so much truth in this. I would look at the situation as an opportunity. The freedom to live your life as you want, even for a short amount of time, can change your perspective forever.

And it doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing situation. You might find that you are looking to get back to work a week after traveling. In fact, take a two week trip somewhere. Pretend you will be there for a while. Come back home and consider whether that is what you want from your life for the next N months. The rest will fall into place.

Safe and happy travels, and remember, no matter where you go, there you are.
